CHOOSING THE RIGHT LASIK SURGEON
The more experience a surgeon has performing laser vision correction, the better your chance of having the optimal LASIK outcome. Much like putting a golf club in Tiger Woods' hands as opposed to an avid everyday golfer, the difference in skill, training, and work ethic may yield a much different outcome.
Ketan Patel, MD is one of the most experienced & well-trained refractive surgeons in the United States having performed over 20,000 LASIK and PRK procedures! Dr. Patel's outgoing personality and calming demeanor creates the perfect atmosphere for our patients.
