If I could give this place no stars I would!

My husband who is 25 went in for the exam to see if he could get laser surgery. It was suppose to be quick so I was going to wait in the car for him. For whatever reason I decided to come in with him at the last min. and I am SO grateful I did. Of course they have you sign the wavier and all that jazz before they begin. They put several different drops in his eyes and began the testing. Once they were finished we sat in this small little room with a tiny TV explaining all the "side effects" of the surgery. Interesting that we didn't watch this until AFTER they put all the drops in his eyes. They were so dilated he had to close them since the light in the room was so bright. About 60 secs after he sat down he grabbed his stomach and said he didn't feel good, I looked over at him and his eyes rolled back in his head and he slouched over. I started to scream for someone to come help, as he slouched he started to gurgle and shake violently. The "nurses" tried to shut me in a room so that the other patients didn't hear what was going on. I was telling them to call 911 and no one ever even picked up the phone! My husband regained composure after about 15 min. of being on the floor. Other then an eye Doctor coming over to "look" at my husband no one did a thing for him! The staff just stood around and watched him lay on the floor while some lady got a wet rag from the sink to put on his head. They kept hushing me down every time I would ask why no one was calling 911. I pulled the car out front and took him right over to the ER as his lips were BLUE! The Doctor was pissed that the staff, for one did not inform us of some of the side effects you can have from the drops they put in your eyes or seek medical attention when my husband could have died on the spot. That wouldnt have looked good in the Startrib and Im sure thats why they never called 911 for him.



I called the next day to get the name of the drops they used in my husbands eyes and the nurse was rude and short with me....she rambled off about 5 different drops they put in his eyes and never once slowed down long enough for me to spell the mile long name of each drop. I kept asking how to spell it and she would go a mile a min. While we were at the ER The Doc. who treated my husband said he has heard some similar reports for this Lasik Center... All they are concerned with is you giving them your money. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH and go with a reputable company. Not the one who offers the cheapest financing!
