I had the worst experience in my life from Dr Boothe. I first went in to see if I was a good candidate, and of course he said yes for Monovision. They scheduled the surgery a couple days later on a Friday night. We left their office about 1:30 am. When I woke up the next morning I could not even open my eyes. They were so dry and stuck closed. I was scared and crying. My daughter spent about an hour constantly putting in wetting Drops so I could open my eyes. We called the office as soon as they opened. When we arrived we had to wait. I could not see anything. When I finally was seen 'not by doctor boothe' they asked me to read the eye chart. The eye chart was totally black. I could not read anything. They took me back finally to see dr boothe and he took out the dry contacts they had put into my eyes after the surgery. I could see some, but he also schedules another surgery a week later to correct my eyes. During the first surgery you could hear him yelling at his employees. My daughter was sitting with me the whole time. This is really scary since you are under a Lasik machine, your vision goes black and you hear all this yelling. He apparently had the wrong file, and he fired the employee right there on the spot. After my next Lasik I still could not see correctly. I work with numbers all day so this was effecting my work as well. He told me this was because I had dry eyes. I needed plugs in my tear ducts. I was going to his office almost every day to have these put back in. I was driving to his office every day.. The office employees even had me come in the back door so I did not have to wait in the waiting room like everyone else that was usually there it least 2 hours. I was always seen by dr boothe. He kept saying I had 20/20. They have you read these charts that you actually memorize the words because you see them so much. Then I receive a phone call on my voice mail from an ex-employee that was there and knew that they had messed up my eyes, and they were just trying to cover it up. I believe this was true. I confronted Dr Boothe about this and he said not to believe the employee. He was just a mad employee. I do believe the employee because I was actually going to dr boothe's office everyday for it least 4 months. I got so tired of everything and the plugs coming out all the time, but when the plugs were in my eyes flooded with tears, making it even hard to see or read anything. I told Dr Boothe about my night vision and the large hallo's I see, The sensitivity to light I have. He just kept saying this is because I have dry eyes. None of this was explained to me at all. I finally had asked for my money back. I was told NO I have 20/20. I still to this day cannot see correctly. I cannot read at distant, or close up. I cannot read a prescription bottle. When I look at the moon I see 2 moons at night. I have a hard time seeing my 65' TV in the living room, I cannot read the schedule on the Dish on what is playing. Dr Booth wrote me a prescription for glasses for when I was driving. This was just as bad. The glasses made my distance weird, but then I could not even ready the dash on my car. The only thing this helped with was the hallo's not being as big. If there was a way for this to be reversed I am not sure I would trust anyone to do this. My eyes are so dry all the time as it is. This is the worst experience that I have ever done. My price I had paid for this was 3600.00. I feel my eyes have been messed up by Dr Boothe. There is nothing you can do either. When they say they will refund your money if you are not 20/20, well according to their office you will always be 20/20 or close. I have recently seen a doctor because of my vision. He could not understand what Dr Boothe had done to my eyes. My distant eye should have been my close up, and the following on my other eye. He mentioned that he has had a lot of people come in with the same problems that I have. The glasses that I would have to be wearing now would be Trifocals. They cost is almost 400.00 plus the office visit. This is the main reason I wanted Lasik was to not have to wear glasses. I cannot wear contact because they irritate my eyes so bad. I would not recommend this to anyone especially Dr Boothe. The thing is there really is not turning back or having this reversed. You will have more dry eye again for the Lasik, and who knows if you would see worse or not. This is my experience and I want everyone to know about this before this can happen to them.

I would think you should sue this clown for ruining your eyes. You trusted him and all he did was yell at his employees, scheduled you at a late hour 'after' he was already tired working all day and then screw up!! I hear these type of surgeries are more successful for the doctor when they operate in the morning early on in the week. This guy was obviously tired out from a long week and then to do this at 1`:00 AM...shocking!!!!! WHAT A NUT CASE HE IS!
He is one of the most greediest characters. And then to top it all off, they resort to sneaking you in the back dioor - not to make it so you don't wait, but so you don't start talking with the other soon to be patients. They wouldn't want to lsoe any new business, now. Very sorry for what happned to you. I hope it will in some ways get better.
I also hope this doctor gets sued or somethign.
