I have never left a review, positive or negative, in my life, but I feel the need to warn everyone this doctor clearly cares only about money, rather than his patients. My "quality of life" will forever be changed in a negative way due to Dr. Choi.

If you have bad vision, like myself, you know how important it is to find a place that's caring and always willing to help when needed. I found that in this place.

This is my second Lasik surgery in 40 years in Birmingham. My vision in 1990 was 2800 before…read moresurgery and I had extensive astigmatism. I hated glasses and since I hunt wilderness areas by myself for weeks at a time, losing my glasses would have been really bad. Dr, Sarah Hayes did my first surgery the first year Lasik was allowed in USA. My corrected vision went from 2800 to 2015! I had been blind all my life and now had hawk like vision. I was dumfounded!! Now 35 years later my vision had deteriorated to 2070. Dr, Hayes had retired and after some research I settled on Dr. Michaelson in Birmingham, Al. He is an intelligent and interesting person to talk to with excellent people skills. On the day of surgery, he was a different person. No joking around or laughing but all business. He is very thorough and over next few months I met with him numerous times for follow-up. So now after 3 months my vision is 2020 and getting better after each visit. I have 1 more visit in 6 months but I expect my vision to stay at 2020 or even improve some more. So if you are tired of wearing glasses that get broken, slide down your nose, always needing cleaning or just looking goofy in glasses, don't be afraid to get Lasik surgery. Its somewhat expensive but it will be the best investment you will ever make. I have gone now though 2 Lasik surgeries and have had no problems at all on either surgery. I consider Dr. Michaelson to be the best Lasik surgeon in Birmingham and possibly the entire South East.

I looked around to find the doctor I believed had the lowest complication rates and was very competent. Now I'm honestly not sure where his price is compared to others but he was definitely the right choice. Extremely thorough and took his time to fine out exactly what my needs were. I am a plastic surgeon so I needed great vision up close but also wanted things far away to be clear. We opted for monocular vision lasik. The surgery went great. I still can not believe I waited so lone. Great doctor who cares.

Dr. Essinger is hands down the best optometrist I have ever seen. The staff at Vestavia Eye Care was friendly and helpful from the moment I reached the front counter. The initial tests and evaluations were thorough, especially when I told them some recurring issues I was having. (Note: make sure you have at least an hour for your exam if you have an issue.) When I told Dr. Essinger the issues I had been having for two years that were unsolved mysteries for every doctor I saw, he was the first to care. He ran texts on me I had never seen and he came up with two theories for me to test. In fact, he was so concerned that he told me to text him as soon as I had progress. His caring concern brought tears to my eyes! Birmingham- We are so fortunate to have this office here! If you need a reliable optometrist for your family, look no further! I was also told they have a pediatric optometrist on staff for those of you with little ones.
