The actual cataract surgery was very good. My issue is that I was overcharged significantly and…read moreit's now months later, and I am still waiting for the refund of over $500. My insurance should have been better verified so that I did not spend nearly a $1000 for a procedure that should have cost less than $250. When I returned for the second eye, they were going to charge me again until I explained that I had already overpaid with the first eye. They then applied the overcharge to the second eye. I am still waiting for the remainder to get refunded. My first surgery was April 2, 2026. My second was April 30, 2026. It's now June 17th and it may still be another month before I get the overpayment back.

So the same insurance that was billed for the surgery is no longer acceptable? I don't have the $700+ to pay out of pocket (especially since my deductible has been satisfied for the year) so I am forced to find another surgeon to correct the problem. I feel as though Dr Digaetano just abandoned me. Because of this, I cannot recommend Digaetano Cataract Services.

The staff was friendly and professional, and Dr. Knuckles conducted a very thorough and attentive examination. But the real standout was Sarah at the front desk. I've never encountered someone in a reception role who brought so much energy and genuine joy to their work.

As a patient, it was very refreshing to walk in to an office and be greeted with a smile instead of look of annoyance - like I had just interrupted their Facebook time.

The folks at this practice were able to get her in the same day if we were willing to wait. We ended up only waiting about an hour. Everyone at the practice was nice, caring and very professional. Dr Gilmer gave her a thorough exam, was respectful and listened well. He ended up referring her to a specialist - but in the process he was able to rule out a more serious problem. She really liked him and will be going back from her regular eye care and following up on her cataracts.

Cataract surgery is one of the most often performed surgeries in the USA, and the surgery has…read morearound a 98% success rate. I am sorry to say that things did not work out well for me. Dr. Gilmer placed the artificial lens in an area which the lens manufacturer does not recommend and that caused exfoliation material from my iris clogging up the eyes drainage network. The clogging of the drainage network caused very high eye pressure that could not be relieved with medicinal eye drops. A second surgery was performed to reset the lens, however, resetting the lens did not relieve the very high eye pressure. Dr. Gilmer told me that if the high eye pressure was not quickly corrected I would lose my vision in that eye. He offered to do a laser surgery, but by that time, for several reasons which I will explain later, I had lost all confidence in Dr. Gilmer. I contacted a glaucoma specialist who performed four additional surgeries before the high eye pressure was sufficiently relieved. I estimate that I have lost around 75 to 80% of my vision in that eye. While being treated by Dr. Gilmer I was subjected to verbal abuse on two occasions and he blamed me for the surgery going wrong and that could not be further from the truth. I am in excellent health and have a very good immune system. It is my opinion that Dr. Gilmer tries to come across as a very friendly and caring physician and at first he fooled me. However, when the going got tough he was far from charming or caring. It is my opinion that he blames others for his short comings and that underneath his charming exterior lurks one of the "entitled".
