My overall impression that Lake Eye care more about their bottom line than their patients well-being. They don’t accurately disclose the true costs of their surgery. I believe Dr. Holman is a decent surgeon and but he is also a charismatic salesman. He tends to oversell the benefits of cataract surgery as well as the premium lenses.
I had a cataract surgery with dr. Holman a couple of years ago, which mostly went fine. It took almost a year and dozens of phone calls to get back a couple of thousands dollars í ˝í˛µ that I overpaid due to an insurance glitch. Plus, a few minutes before my surgery they suddenly offered me an optional eye test not covered by insurance. Of course I said yes, but I wish I knew that this was coming ahead of time.
Make sure to ask all the questions including the financial ones during your first visit with dr Holman. You won’t get a chance to do it later because you won’t see him before the surgery. And nobody else will tell you much. They will present a very complicated payment chart that does not give you an accurate picture of what’s covered and how much you’d end up paying.
