I wish I could write a great review as all the others have but i can't. Dr. Choi's office and staff are very impressive. Everyone was nice and professional but I had problems after my surgery. I had cataracts removed from both eyes and tri focal lens put in a week apart. I had burning sensations and a feeling like a grain of sand was in both eyes. I went to my optometrist at Shaeffer Eye Center who was doing my post operative visits and he said both corneas were damaged. He prescribed eye drops which I used for 2 months and I was still having problems. I made an appointment with Dr. Choi after that and he said my corneas were not damaged but that I had dry eyes and prescribed more eye drops and fish oil. He didn't look at my eyes through any optical device but said he knows my corneas were not damaged because he did the surgery. After using all of the eye drops he prescribed I was still having trouble and went back to my optometrist and he said my corneas were still healing. I don't know to this day who to believe. I need to say one last thing about cost. This surgery cost me $7000 at Dr. Choi office. A friend of mine had the same surgery and same lens as I did at the Callahan Eye Foundation for $3800. I was fully aware of the cost at the time of the surgery but thought at best there would just a few hundred dollars difference with other doctors. Turns out it was a few thousand difference and she had excellent results and no problems.
