LASIK eye correction surgery. Dr Singer is known throughout the region for being the best at…read moreLasik. I first heard about Dr Singer from my boss and a close friend of mine who both had the surgery done by this Dr. For a few yrs I've been interested in the surgery and recently I finally inquired about it. There are a few companies in the area that specialize in Lasik, but there are so many hidden costs that are not mentioned until it's too late. As advertise by multiple places, $299 an eye is not the actual cost. Expensive exams, medications, Dr visits, and different eye strengths, can cause the price to reach higher then what is in your initial budget. I signed up for the free consultation and met up with the office staff, and I was given a go ahead that my eyes were healthy enough to get the surgery. I was given two options to go with for the surgery but the doctor saw that I may have glaucoma so he told me that the bladeless version of Lasik would be best for me, due to the pressure that would be involved in the surgery. The bladeless surgery is a bit more pricer then the normal Lasik surgery. Dr. Singer knocked off $500 of the price and I decided that since it was only a few dollars passed my budget, I would still be able to get the surgery. On the day of the surgery I went in for 3 o'clock. I was given medication to help me relax and an hour later I was ready for surgery. I was scared out of my mind before the medication kicked in, but once I relaxed I had no worries. The first step of the procedure I was placed on a table for the first part of the surgery which was the part where my the machine is placed on your eye and the pupil is cut. It only took less than a minute for each eye. The staff walked me over to the second table where the flap was folded back and the laser did it's magic. That step only took about 4 minute for each eye. And believe it or not I was finished. The prep time and waiting for the meds to kick in is the reason there is a 3 hr duration. The recovery time for my surgery was only that evening and night. I was given sleeping pills right before I walked out of the doctor's office. By the time I got to my house I was ready for bed. It was extremely recommended that I sleep through the night and that I did. The next morning I awoke and my vision was a bit blurry but that was only because I had transparent bandages on my pupils. The last step for the whole process was to get the bandages off of pupils that I did not even know I had on. I was only told that I had bandages on my pupils when I got them off on this follow-up day right after the surgery. Once they were removed the blurriness that I experienced that morning and immediately after, was gone. My vision correction surgery, was complete. It's been 4 weeks since my Lasik and I am extremely proud of the decision I made to get the surgery, there are no regrets. This is my personal experience with Dr. Singer, of course everyone situation and cost may be different. Money spent..... $150 (for the expensive photos that were needed to be taken for eye health issues. That was my deductible from my health Insurance plan that the doctor was able to use) (LASIK is not covered by any insurance plans) $150 (the eye evaluation after it is determined that I was a candidate) $3150 (Bladeless LASIK...the price for both eyes, but the Dr. gave me $500 off) $418 (medication, $210 eye drops, $192 for eye drops, and $16 for sleeping pills, but with the coupons that the doctor gave me at the pre-op, my medication cost ended up being only $50. (Please get those coupons!!) My current vision should last 10+ yrs depending on my aging process. I've had not one problem since the surgery. If I have to get my eyes corrected again, I will definitely be back to Dr Singer.

Be extra careful with your GPS though, because while my Google Maps is usually excellent, I made one wrong turn and the detours she gave me were insane -- I thought she was possessed by demons. I came to Dr. Blahnik after having a terrible experience with another eye doctor recently where I paid cash but left with useless glasses and contacts and a really terrible customer service experience. Dr. Blahnik took his time and really addressed all of the concerns I had and gave me faith again in this profession. He was patient, thorough, and kind. He went into much more detail about my specific vision issues than any other eye doctor has. He also has a really cool old-school eyeglass lense chest that you can see in his exam room -- check it out! His office is clean and the soft lighting makes it a very calming atmosphere. I'm extremely glad I made the decision to come here for a second opinion. I only wish I had come here first!

Second, if you don't want to have people use certain insurance or parts of certain insurance, then post it on your website and take yourself off of the insurance company's website. I spoke with my excellent insurance I have since I retired as a federal agent. This insurance company (Aetna Preferred) informed me that you choose to stay on their website. My wife also has what they call an EYEMED Identifier number which specifically covers her for great eye care. My wife has been going to you for a while. Insurance seems to be an issue with your Business. I never have issues with other places.. If you choose just to take primary medical insurance, then let the customers know. Don't treat the insurance companies like a buffet And pick and choose what parts of what insurance are you going to take. Incidentally, The reason "I"only went there once was because of a similar insurance snafu with MetLife under my fed coverage. It took 20 minutes for the lady at the desk to figure out that I was covered. My wife continued to go there because she liked the convenience and the service. The people who handle insurance need to be schooled and how to handle claims and how to look up who's covered and who's not. Bottom Line. It shouldn't be a task just for a simple eye exam or any eye care. Feel free to call me anytime about this.
