What I didn't mention was the follow‑up: working with Dr. Beaushaw to dial in my new LAL lenses to the exact numbers that worked best for me. Over a short series of visits, Dr. Beaushaw did an excellent job getting my vision locked in--right into that sweet spot. He and his team made the whole process fun and genuinely painless. So thank you, Joe, Natalia, and everyone else on staff, including reception. You all made the lock‑in process simple, smooth, and exceptional.

Beautiful facility, and the ladies were nice, but after getting my eyes check on various machines, it all went downhill from there. My appointment was at 2:00 and we got started a little before that. We got through the eye tests, pictures, numbing the eye and dilating by 2:30. The woman said,"The doctor will be in to go over everything with you" and then we were left sitting in the room waiting and watching a couple videos. At 3:00, a woman moved us to a 2nd room stating,"should only be a few minutes." My feeling is they moved us just so they could use the first room we were in to put someone else to wait. It was like waiting in line for a ride in Disney World. Just when you think the line is moving, you wait standing at the new place in line. At 3:30, I went out to the hall/ office area to ask what's going on and one woman said said, "He's running behind" Yup, we see that. Another woman said, "You should be next". I should have been next an hour ago. Not one person said, "I'm sorry this is taking so long" or "The doctor is running behind." I only got told, "It will be a few minutes" when we were put in the 2nd room at 3:00. When I went to talk with them, I was told, "You should be next." I was offered a water, but at that point I just wanted the doctor to come in and talk with me. I went back in the room and waited 25 more minutes. 3:55- we got up and left. I didn't say a word and simply left the folder of information they gave me on the desk. I was dilated so I couldn't drive with the sun shining off the wet pavement. I was dilated and numbed up for no reason. At a minimum of $11,000 for new lenses, I'll find somewhere else to go. I'm sure they aren't the only ones that do this and I won't spend that much to wait nearly 2 hours past my appointment time. The icing on the cake was being sent the following message before I was gone 5 minutes. I'm sure this is sent after everyone checks out. "Thank you for choosing K2 Vision, Please let us know if you would recommend us. Click to answer YES: https://patient.redspotinteractive.com/djq1uhr6 Click to answer NO: https://patient.redspotinteractive.com/ke2gyh56 Reply STOP to opt out" I definitely clicked NO.

Dr. Carey was so kind, calming, and wonderful throughout this whole process of getting this removed. His staff made everything seamless with scheduling, and answered any questions I had and were so kind when they could probably sense my panic at times about things. I'm almost 2 weeks out from him removing the mole and you can barely tell I had it taken off. I am eternally grateful for his care he has given me and feel so fortunate to have found him. Thank you Dr. Carey!

Dr. King was/is probably one of the best doctors I've interacted with for any surgery. I got LASIK…read moredone on my eyes, which were around -4.5 to -6 in prescription. Yikes! We interacted first via zoom call for virtual consult and later I went in for an in-person free consult. He performed thorough testing and was able to schedule me for the same week, which was perfect for my schedule. Overall surgery lasted about 10-15mins but I was at the office in Renton for about 2-3 hours for repeat testing on eyes to make sure they were stable. No issues in surgery and post surgery, while waiting for my spouse was offered more numbing drops. Glad the office was looking out for my well being. Followed up next day with another doctor and was out of the office within 10 mins for a 3-week follow-up. Haven't had any issues so far and got great results. What stood out for me was the last thing Dr. King said, which no doctor has ever said, "Thank you for your trust." Any surgery is stressful to think about, but it's great to see a doctor that values the patient and is meticulous about his work.

I didn't see it coming. Years ago, kids would say, "Cross my fingers and hope to die, stick a…read moreneedle in my eye" when they wanted to prove they were telling the absolute so-help-me-God truth. But I never thought I'd be crossing my fingers, hoping I won't go blind and telling a surgeon to go ahead and stick a needle in my eye. At least that's what reattaching a detached retina initially sounded like to me. Boy, was I wrong! It all a started with something creeping into the bottom of my right eye, like maybe a small animal running past me down low. I mistook it as an early "floater," signaling the need some day in the future for cataract surgery. But it grew like a rising moon, blocking a third of my right-eye vision, then about half, then three-quarters. If I had gone earlier to my ophthalmologist, I might have had a relatively quick laser fix but, instead, I squirted some Visine eye drops in hopes it would somehow magically clear my vision. A speedy trip to my ophthalmologist would have been a better choice because it is considered an "emergent " problem that merits immediate attention. I waited a little too long but I got in touch with my ophthalmologist at Cascadia Eye in Stanwood who suggested regional eye specialists at Pacific Northwest Retina with clinics in Bellevue, Bellingham, Burlington that specialize in these types of surgeries. They performed laser surgery in Bellevue on the very same day as multiple clinic team assessments were made in Bellingham. The travel from one to the other was well worth it. All doctors and staff were very pleasant, very talented, fun to be with, and very efficient to process and complete the surgery without waiting. The technology is amazing and more than I can wrap my brain around but, as I understand it, the surgeon put my torn retina back in it's place and held it where it belongs with a temporary gas bubble holding it there, then fastened it with laser flashes -- done with partial anesthesia and zero discomfort. The commonly used short acting gas Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) expands mildly then slowly shrinks 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. Like most unexpected challenges in life, the recovery process is a good opportunity for "time-out" soul searching, life review "insights", meditation, playing calming music and listening to upbeat audible books. Some people prop up a mirror on the floor to watch television from a rented $200-$400 per week ergonomically designed face-down chair. I used rolled up quilts and pillows to do pretty much the same thing in my recliner chair. You will appreciate a patient partner, like my professional retired wife Julie, who keeps an eye out for you, so to speak, and squirts eye drops several times a day for the next four weeks. Keeping the gas bubble pressed against your retina is the key to a positive outcome. That process may arguably be the most difficult part -- sitting face down looking at your feet, elbows on kneels and hands holding your head up makes you look like a worn out old patient in crisis with a headache but it really is the vital key to restoring sight and gives some comfort too. When walking around, you will need to stoop over a little bit, head down "nose to toes." This regimen is necessary 90 percent of the time for at least three days with only a few catnaps likely. I spent the nights sitting in a recliner, bent over a thick rolled-up quilt face down on pillows stacked on my knees. (Oddly enough, the only discomfort was neck and back pain similar to whiplash due to the constant downward position.) Similarly, sitting in a chair face down on a pillow at the edge of a dining room or folding table works too. After three days face down you graduate to gathering pillows and blankets for a living room campout, sleeping upright in a recliner for about a week. As the healing process continues with a few headaches and tears, it's a bit like walking with one eye submerged in a swimming pool as the bubble very slowly oozes down a little bit more day by day. Before you know it the bubble recedes and your vision returns to varying levels. Each patient's outcome is said to be slightly different. But oh so better than losing sight in an eye.

I saw Jill at the beginning of the year after finding her through social media. One of the main reasons I chose her was because she heavily promotes herself as an injector trainer and educator online, which gave me confidence in her expertise. My main concern was the early appearance of jowls. During my consultation, she recommended three vials of Sculptra along with 2-3 syringes of filler, assuring me that after completing the treatment I likely wouldn't need to do anything else for the next several years. At 33 years old, I was initially surprised by the recommendation for three vials of Sculptra. I expressed my hesitation, but she explained that the guideline is roughly one vial per decade of age, which I later saw repeated online. Because of that, I trusted her recommendation. At first, I didn't notice many changes since Sculptra works gradually and cannot be dissolved. However, as the collagen stimulation developed over the following months, I became increasingly unhappy with the results. My naturally heart-shaped face gradually became much squarer and puffier, and my jawline looked noticeably heavier, which actually emphasized the concerns I had wanted to correct. It has been difficult coming to terms with those changes, especially knowing that Sculptra cannot simply be reversed and may take years to diminish. Following the Sculptra treatments, I also developed significant acne and severe pore congestion. When I brought it up, I was told I could go on medication to manage it which I declined. The filler was another disappointment. I was advised to place multiple syringes throughout my lower face to improve the jowls, but I believe the result was overfilled. Whenever I pushed my chin forward, there was a visible lump of filler, which I've included in one of my photos. What concerned me most was what happened at my follow-up appointment. After completing everything that had originally been recommended, I expected we were finished, as I had been told. Instead, I was encouraged to add even more Sculptra into my marionette lines. That was the moment I realized the goalposts had shifted. I had trusted the original treatment plan, believing it would achieve the desired result, and instead I was being advised to undergo even more treatment which was a major red flag for me. I also requested only a very subtle lip enhancement, but my lips ended up "subtly" uneven, because she didn't correct my asymmetry which is also visible in my photos. I never went back to address that because the trust was broken and because she used up a whole syringe and considering their practices I wouldn't want to pay more for correction. Overall, I left feeling that the amount of product recommended and ultimately injected was far more than what was necessary for me. My goal was to look refreshed and natural, but instead I felt overfilled, and I have spent months regretting that decision. Unfortunately, my experience with the office staff also left a negative impression. On one visit, I was told I couldn't use the restroom inside the clinic and was directed to the public restroom in the building lobby instead. On another occasion, immediately after my procedure, a staff member stood in the doorway waiting for me to leave, which made me feel rushed and uncomfortable while I was still trying to gather my belongings. This experience cost me a significant amount of money, but more importantly, it has had a lasting impact on my confidence. Because Sculptra cannot be dissolved, I now have to wait years and hope my face gradually returns closer to its previous appearance. I hope sharing my experience helps others make an informed decision. Unfortunately, based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this clinic or the injector I saw.
