ok so i went today for my consult with dr boothe. it seemed fine at first, but exactly what the guy above said is true. the had me signed up for the surgery before i even realized it! im a regestered nurse and know plenty about the medical field, and i know thats not the place i want to be. i went in at 10am and they had me scheduled the next day at 5am. not near enough time for the antibotic eye drops to do any good. go elsewhere.

I appreciate the information about eye doctor Dr. William Booth in Plano Texas, at the Boothe Eye Care Center.  I believe every word.  It's so obvious when a doctor only cares about the amount of money he is making off patients.  If a doctor is over-booking on a pretty consistent basis and for eye surgery...his interest is only money.  This guy is an ego-maniac and has no sincere interest in the patient!  People should NOT go to him.  Also, when a doctor is so greedy that they crowd patient after patient with the get them to sign and booked as quickly as possible routine -  it should be a very obvious warning you should 'stay away'.  These types have lost their medical ethics , if they ever had them and all they have become is 'great liers'  and most importantly, 'risk takers' at the patients expense.  They get tired, like this Boothe dude and probably need to take caffeine or 'whatever' to keep awake.  I'm sure if you could intereview all his ex-patients you'd hear horror stories about all his mistakes.  Watch out for this phony, ego-maniac.  Not to be trusted!  Any more comments about this guy - let people know!  Someone needs  to get the government to oversee these doctors to keep them on the straight and narrow - getting a bit crooked and sleazy - this guy is.   

Oh geez. I wish I saw these comments before. I experienced the same stuff mentioned in these comments. I had the procedure in 1/09' and now i need another correction since I'm seeing triple on one eye. I am going to see another eye doctor to see what' going on. I think i talked to Dr. boothe no more than 5 mins combined with all my visits.

EVERYONE WATCH OUT FOR DR. WILLIAM BOOTHE, EYE SURGEON OF PLANO TEXAS.....HE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CARELESS.  DON'T LET YOURSELF BE TALKED INTO HAVING RISKY SURGERY FROM THIS GREEDY, CRAZY DOCTOR!  PAY ATTENTION TO THESE COMMENTS.  ANY ONE WHO ADVERTISES AS MUCH AS THIS GUY DOES IS NUTS.  HE WILL SAY ANYTHING TO GET YOU TO LET HIM OPERATE ON YOU - AT YOUR EXPENSE -  REALLY! 

I went for the exam...dingy, dim, 'herded' feeling, 'sign here now' techniques - all as described above....woe to me - I signed!!...when he entered the room (at the end of the screening), he did not introduce himself, ask my name (called me madam), did not speak to my husband, and spoke with a drone and rote, unconcerned tone that will amaze you!...I happened to ask for clarification regarding how much my vision would be improved over wearing my current contacts and he said, 'none' (all about convenience and less risk, he said)....when I asked for clarification regarding the 'discounted' price, he immediately became defensive, rose to exit and said, 'he did not think he could make me happy' - THAT is the one part he got right!! (did refund the 150 as promised)....my logic = to pay 3500 dollars to avoid 'the inconvenience' of contacts that do not bother me in any manner is absurd....I was going for improved vision - he cannot manage that!! - go figure!!  what a surprise that would have been 'after the $3500 fact' had i not asked the 'right' question! I feel fortunate to have avoided this experience!

I would have to agree with the posters above that  Dr. Boothe's office is run like a mill. Stupidly, I went there several years ago for LASIK, and while things went ok, I spent several hours there for a routine appt. and also got the hard sell with the discount offered for booking surgery that week.

Doctor Boothe did warn me that I would need reading glasses in my mid-40s. I am at that point now, as my eyes has shifted from 20-20 to about 20-40 or 20-50. I called this week to set an appt. for a consult and was immediately reminded of what I didn't like about the office. The appt. setter was pushy, telling me that they could get me in Monday and I would get a discount if I booked surgery that week.  I told them there was no way I could do surgery next week and that I was calling trying to set things up for surgery around Christmas. Even though I had been a patient there before, they couldn't find a record of me, and acted like it was my fault like I must be spelling my own name wrong.

Today I called to cancel the appt., having thought about it and realizing I really didn't like this office or the way it is run and didn't feel like spending four or five hours there on my day off just to get an estimate and then be pressured into surgery. The salesman could not even find a record of my appt. that I booked last week! My advice is to stay away and look for someone who actually cares about their patients.
