I scheduled a consultation for Lasik at Pinellas Eye Associates and paid $198 out of pocket for the consultation. Once there, I waited 30 minutes past my scheduled time just to be taken in the back waiting room. Once in to see the eye doctor he had an emergency and left me waiting for about another 30 minutes. The consultation went well and he concluded by stating he would give me a call and let me know when he could get me into the surgery center to do an Epi-Lasik procedure. Instead, one of the attendants called me about four days later and informed me that the doctor would not be able to do my surgery and that I would need to find somewhere else to go for this procedure. They didn't have another doctor. I asked for an explanation and was not really given one - just that it had nothing to do with me personally.
