On occasions when he thought his own diagnosis should be reviewed by someone else (a retinal specialist, for example), he hasn't hesitated to send me on to them. Just under a week ago, Dr. Palmer removed a cataract from one of my eyes and implanted a lens. He was careful to explain why my own surgery would be a little more complicated than others, but it went well and I was home within a couple of hours afterward. I was surprised to receive a phone call from Dr. Palmer that evening. He asked how I was doing, and I said that I was doing well. I saw him the next morning, when he checked my eye thoroughly, and again today (five days after surgery) to check on the healing process, which is going well. Just two days before the surgery, I had a question about a medication that I take before most surgical procedures; I had forgotten to ask the doctor earlier, so I called his office. He wasn't at the Chicago office that day, but in Glenview. His Chicago staff contacted him, though, relayed my question, and I had an answer from Glenview within an hour. When I first needed to consult an ophthalmologist back in the 1980s or so, my internist at the time recommended Dr. Palmer. I've always been glad to have made that first appointment.

Too often, though not always, the doctors with good "bedside manner" are compensating for a lack of expertise. When it comes to medical care, you don't need nice; you need smart. I promise. Lisa Rosenberg at University Eye Specialists is perfectly pleasant and personable. But she is busy. She is not going to sit down and chit chat with you. And you may wait a long time because she gets a lot of emergent, complicated cases. But you will get the best medical care for your eyes that you can get in the city and far beyond. I wait a long time most times I go. Every time, I get irritated. Then I take deep breaths and it passes. Then I go see the doctor who is my best chance of not going blind, and I think that's a fair trade off.

On the recommendation of a former coworker, I've been seeing her with wonderful visits. Soon after I got married five years, I went in for a routine eye exam. During the exam, she noticed that I had a retinal tear in one eye. From the time she discovered it to having it dealt with at Rush University Hospital was a few days. See (no pun intended), she also teaches at Rush's Eye Institute once a week. On that day of the week, I went over to Rush to have my retinal tear lasered. Yes, it sounds gross, but wasn't all that scary. She discovered another tear the next year and went through the same repair process. In the following years, my eyes are looking great. Visits to her office are always nice. It's a very clean, modern office with a giant candy jar. Her staff has always been polite and welcoming. Also, Mary does Botox procedures too.
