Best visit to meei ever, due to short wait, seating while waiting, fast testing. MD is definitely expert in glaucoma - great. However she didn't really listen to my lifestyle needs re: which IOL to implant. Follow-up via portal she referred me to a different specialist for more personalized IOL selection.

The doctor ALWAYS uses mask and always sanitizes her hands before the consultation. However, the assistants who does the preliminary check does not sanitizes their hands. Not sure if this is a requirement but it should be.

It would be helpful for the provider on the day of the procedure to again review the plan for the procedure and how the procedure works. This was not reviewed at the time of the initial scheduling of the procedure. Perhaps this was because this was a repeat procedure for me, but a refresher by way of information would have been helpful. I suspect if I had asked for this review, then it would have been provided. But this is a mere suggestion, not a specific critique.

She was on time, but seemed a little rushed once we started talking and I'm not sure if she went over all the information I had faxed to her from two different doctors offices, before the appointment. She instead looked more at the information I had brought. Also when she said at the beginning, you put one drop in your left eye, it kind of made me question if she had gone over my chart at all before she saw me?
