Unfortunately True Experience
I visited the top 3 clinics in the area prior to choosing Woodhams, I selected them based on a sense of confidence they gave me on this procedure. Before surgery we did a 2 hour consultation which included testing to "make sure" I was a good candidate. Afterwards, I was told I "was a perfect candidate". Having heard over and over how this would "change your life" I was excited that I would fix my farsightedness. They said I was in good hands, I paid out of pocket as I did not have insurance, I put it on my credit card as it was important for me. Unfortunately, the outcome was not as promised. I received no appreciable benefit from the surgery.
After surgery they estimated 2 weeks for healing, I went back as requested for a follow up. At which time I expressed that I saw no difference, I was told to wait for improvements. I did a couple of follow up visits, 4 months later, at which point I was told to expect no further change or improvement. It was kind of "that's it, we're done". That day was my absolute worst experience. They told me they were not willing to do anything else, and the most humiliating of it all, I was then told by the operating doctor himself that I should just go buy a $5 pair of generic glasses. This is not an exaggeration or a joke, that is exactly what I was told, right in front of his own assistant, this is how I was treated after trusting them and spending $4,000. He told me this harshly, got up and walked away, with a bad attitude, he did not care, I felt treated like I was worthless, this was a shock for me to hear, I felt lied to, taken advantage of, and humiliated by this place. To this day no attempts have been made to work something out with me in attempt to correct this issue, I was simply tossed aside with no importance.
