ilovetv, to my knowledge, no ophthalmologists go to TVRH, they all pulled out sometime again and use their own surgery centers. I retired RN from TVRH and recently had to have cataract surgery under the hospital's insurance. It would have been a lot cheaper for me if I could have had it done at TVRH. Not sure why they all pulled out...probably more $ in their pockets!
In response to your comment on how busy the ophthalmologists are in their practice, how about the surgeon who performed complicated surgeries all day but are on-call for emergencies and called back in the middle of the night for an emergency appendectomy? Just know there are docs on call at the hospitals, just not ophthalmologists at TVRH. I, too, hope the availability at our local hospitals increases!
