Why Is It Important to Meet Your LASIK Surgeon Before Your Surgery?

There is a lot to take into consideration when you’re trying to decide if you want to have LASIK eye surgery. After all, we are talking about your most precious sense: your eyesight. It would seem obvious that you meet your LASIK surgeon during your LASIK consultation. However, this is not the case at many practices in the Charlotte region. At Providence Eye & Laser Specialists, we feel it is mission critical to meet your LASIK surgeon prior to the day of surgery.

3 Reasons Why We Believe You Should Meet Your LASIK Surgeon During Your LASIK Consultation

1. Trust – You need to trust the person who will be doing surgery on your eyes. How can you trust someone you have never met, especially with something this important? Would you have any other type of surgery without meeting your surgeon? We know we wouldn’t!
2. Confidence – Nerves are natural when it comes to LASIK eye surgery. If you have confidence in the person doing your surgery, that will likely calm your nerves. If you have met and been examined by your LASIK surgeon, you will then know if you have confidence in them.
3. Bedside Manner – It seems like an old-fashioned term, but it is still extremely important. What is your LASIK surgeon’s bedside manor? Is he or she caring, confident and a good communicator? Or are they arrogant, rushed or aloof? It matters.

During your complimentary LASIK consultation at Providence Eye & Laser Specialists, you will not only meet Dr. Mozayeni, our founder and LASIK surgeon, but he will personally examine your vision, the health of your eyes and your corneas to determine if you are an ideal LASIK candidate. During your consultation, he will answer any and all questions that you have. Think you may have a lot of questions to ask him? That’s great because he promises to never make you feel rushed or like he needs to move on to the next patient. You are his priority!
