I recently had a left Cataract extraction and lens implant by Dr Mahootchi at the Eye Clinic of Florida in Zephyrhills, Fl. After searching the Internet for Opthalmologists who perform the Crystalens implant, I found Dr Mahootchi, whose pricing was competitive and had exceptional experience.\r
I was willing to drive two hours from my home to get his opinion about the feasability of the Crystalens for both my eyes, having already had a Cataract extraction in my right eye two years earlier.\r
I am a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesist) and have worked with many Opthalmologists over the years, and even so, I was impressed by the thoroughness of the exam and the way Dr Mahootchi, and his assistant Anna, caringly worked with me; explaining the options available. During the exam of my right eye he found I had developed a capsule of scar tissue around the previous lens implant and recommended a Capsulotomy, using a YAG Laser in order to improve my vision in this eye. His staff was able to obtain immediate approval from my insurance company and he performed the procedure that very same day. The subsequent cataract extraction was performed flawlessly and I am thrilled with my new improved vision from both my eyes. \r
I love the results. I am extremely pleased. I was always made to feel at ease during my visits and not as part of any ""assembly line"" practice. Their motto is ""outstanding service"" and they certainly live up to it.\r
Pros: Quality of care,
