Go to just about every LASIK website and read the testimonials from people who are "happy and content" with their "great LASIK experience". What you won't find or hear about are the procedures that went wrong, or the number of lawsuits:

Major LASIK chains such as LCA Vision's LASIK Vision Institute (LVI) and LASIK Plus, TLC Laser Eye Centers (and doctors associated with these companies). There are MANY names to add (listed below are a few), Your best bet would be to check your with local or federal courts.

Disclaimer: It is not purported these doctors named to be unsavory, unscrupulous, or otherwise. There is no intention to slander, defame, cause libel, or otherwise. Doctors are people...PEOPLE ARE NOT PERFECT!

Dr R David Allara

Charleston, West Virginia

Dr. R. David Allara faces federal drug charges. Agreement allows Allara to apply for reinstatement of license provided he completes in-patient rehabilitation and does not pose a risk to himself or patients. Of course, didn't he pose a risk before he got caught? Kind of makes you wonder...

Read the News Release

For the second time this year, New York attorney Todd J. Krouner has persuaded a court to permit him to amend his client’s complaint to plead punitive damages against a surgeon for LASIK malpractice. Last month, in Dew v. Allara, the West Virginia court permitted such an amendment where the doctor had voluntarily surrendered his license to practice medicine because of drug use.

 

Loss of License

In August 2007 per a consent order, Dr. Allara surrendered his license based on his inability to practice medicine and surgery with reasonable skill and safety due to illicit use of drugs.

Dr William A Boothe (Now - Laser Care Eye Center)

Dallas, Fort Worth, and Plano, Texas

 

Boothe is a retired LASIK surgeon in the Dallas, Ft Worth, and Plano, Texas area who for years spent millions having touted himself as the premiere go-to doctor for LASIK surgery. Although retired, Boothe has reportedly done commercials for LaserCare Eye Center,  the laser center who maintains records and basically replaces Boothe’s practice. From LaserCare’s website:

“May 1st, 2015 On this day, William A. Boothe, M.D. (a true Texas legend in the eyes of many) retired and closed his practice. Dr. Boothe often bragged of having been the busiest LASIK surgeon in world. At most recent count, he is reported to have done over 150,000 LASIK procedures.

When he needed to find a practice to leave his medical records to, he chose Sidney Gicheru, M.D. at LaserCare Eye Center. He had many choices. Dr. Gicheru founded LaserCare Eye Center in 2000.

On May 1st, LaserCare Eye Center became the Custodian of Medical Records for Boothe Eye Care and Laser Center. LaserCare Eye Center is an independent Ophthalmology practice and we would be happy to see you as a New Patient.”

Laser Care Eye Center still touts Boothe as the all-knowing pioneer of the refractive industry. From what I noticed researching LaserCare using search engines, it seems very similar to Boothe’s.

In addition to harassment to silence any Boothe negativity, assembly line LASIK, and what Boothe did to other Texas LASIK doctors, here’s what some of you may have missed:

 

Texas LASIK Doctors - Know Thy Competitor

Dallas-Ft. Worth Area Refractive Surgeons,

Have you found disparaging remarks about you on websites other than those by refractive surgery patients? I remember lasik-eyesurgery-lawsuits.com, a website set up several years ago listing all of Dr. Boothe's competitors' lawsuits. This website has since been removed, howevever, it has been archived but will not be available here.

Ever wonder why your page ranks on search engines are lower than what you expected?

Take notice on whose ranks are tops on those search engines:

Spammer makes threats to shut down site

Copied with permission from DoctorScoreCard.com (phone numbers have been edited out)

A man identifying himself as "Jim Rickson" has demanded that I shut down the website. He threatened that if I did not do as he demanded, he would retaliate. This blog will document what he has done, who he is, and what doctor he appears to be working for.

Disclaimer: I cannot prove any of this... yet, so for now it is an educated guess.

My educated guess

I suspect that Dr. William A. Boothe, an eye surgeon in Plano, Texas specializing in LASIK has employed the services of "Jim Rickson" to do whatever he can to delete comments posted at DoctorScorecard. If not Dr. Boothe himself, then someone very close to him has employed the services of spammers.

Here is a sample comment an anonymous patient posted about Dr. Boothe:

Now I can't see near or far....everything is blurry and I can read up close ONE WORD AT A TIME....don't ask me to read a sentence or a street sign.

the office tried to rush me into doing the second eye before the first healed...Then I would be almost blind in both eyes and unable to work

Lasik patient receives $2.1M - Dello Russo settles suit but does not admit fault

  SOURCE

 

A Bedminster man who alleges he was left legally blind by Lasik surgery reached a $2.1 million settlement with the prominent eye surgeon who performed the procedure, his attorney said yesterday.

 

James Dell'Ermo, 47, sought to rid himself of cumbersome eyeglasses and contact lenses he used for his nearsightedness, said his attorney, David Mazie of Mazie Slater Katz & Freeman in Roseland.

 

While his claim could not be verified last night, Mazie said he believed the settlement was the largest in a Lasik case in New Jersey history and one of the largest ever in the country.

 

Mazie said his client underwent Lasik surgery in the Bergenfield office of Joseph Dello Russo, an eye surgeon known in part for his advertising campaign and promotions.

 

But the procedure left Dell'Ermo legally blind, with vision worse than 20/400 without corrective lenses, Mazie said. Dell'Ermo filed a malpractice lawsuit in Ber gen County Superior Court and a settlement was made public yesterday.

 

"It's getting to the point where he has to have corneal transplants," to correct his post-surgical condition, Mazie said.

 

John Tomaszewski, an attorney for Dello Russo, said the settlement does not mean an admission of fault.

 

"This settlement was arrived at with the understanding of all parties, in part to avoid the uncertainty and the rigors of a long jury trial," said Tomaszewski, who represented Dello Russo on part of the settlement. "And in no way, shape or form does the New Jersey Eye Center or Dr. Dello Russo concede or admit to any improper treatment or wrongdoing."

 

But it's not for everyone, Mazie said. The lawyer said Dell'Ermo's condition of steep corneas should have ruled him out as a candidate for Lasik. He said the procedure caused a condition known as "ectasia," or bulging of the cornea, in both of Dell'Ermo's eyes.

 

"We're starting to see that a lot of people who have undergone Lasik and are undergoing Lasik at the moment are not properly screened," Mazie said.

Garden City, NY 

Malpractice Verdict Returned against 2005 Surgeon of the Year

Three million dollar malpractice verdict returned against 2005 Cataract and Refractive Surgeon of the Year in Nassau County, New York under index Number 8476/2002.

Garden City, NY (PRWEB) July 10, 2006 -- Keith, Shapiro & Ford, a Garden City, New York based law firm received a three million dollar verdict in a LASIK Malpractice Trial in Nassau County, New York involving a LASIK surgery performed on January 7, 2000 (index number 8476/2002). The plaintiff suffered from post-LASIK ectasia which was claimed to have resulted from pre-existing form fruste keratoconus as well as an insufficient residual stromal bed. It was also claimed that the informed consent was insufficient notwithstanding an eight page Informed Consent Document, a video, a brochure and a general discussion of the risks with a referring optometrist.

The plaintiff, a 43 year old woman, is still wearing contact lenses but her treating optometrist testified that she is getting near to the point where she will only have surgical options.

The Defendant doctor was Eric D. Donnefeld. Donnenfeld who was chosen as the 2005 National Cataract and Refractive Surgeon of the Year by the Journal Cataract and Refractive Surgery Today. Dr. Dr. Donnenfeld is a National Medical Director of TLC. has according to his website has trained more surgeons to perform refractive surgery than any other doctor in New York.

The case took nine days to complete and the jury deliberated for approximately five hours. The total jury verdict broken down as $1,000,000.00 for past pain and suffering, $1,000,000.00 for future pain and suffering and $1,000,000.00 for future medical expenses. There was never an offer on the case. The jury rejected the insufficient residual stromal bed theory but found a departure as to the diagnoses of form fruste keratoconus and they also found the informed consent to be inadequate.

Eric Donnenfeld Loses $2.5 Million in Malpractice Lawsuit

MARCH 29,  2002

TLC Medial Director of Garden City, Eric Donnenfeld, along with several other surgeons suggests marketing lasik to non-candidates:

"Tell every patient that you perform LASIK. Tell patients who would never be candidates themselves, including cataract patients and patients with chronic or intractable eye disease. Every single patient you see can be a referral source, and may be your best referral source."  http://www.revophth.com/1999/july_articles/799%20lasik.htm

One nurse who had cataract surgery with Dr. Donnenfeld, is not likely to provide a positive referral for Dr. Donnenfeld's lasik services:

Dr Glenn Kawesch

Los Angeles/San Diego, California

My condolences to the Kawesch family on the passing of Dr. Kawesch however these lawsuits still happened.

The following MEDICAL MALPRACTICE/NEGLIGENCE lawsuits (OVER 40!) against Dr. Kawesch (GLENN A, KAWESCH  MD, SOUTHWEST EYE CARE CENTERS, SOUTHWEST EYE CENTER INC, KAWESCH LASIK CENTER) are docketed with the San Diego Courts, and are a matter of public record. The docket numbers, dates (past to present), and parties are listed with a link to the court docket or pdf.

Please note that although some or most of these cases may have been dismissed for ‘lack of merit’, or withdrawn, the fact remains these cases were filed.

"Dr. Maloney lied to me. He told me that there were no negative side effects with lasik and there was no way that the surgery could go wrong. I told him I was getting married in 3 weeks, and he said that I should do it right away and that I'd be perfectly fine. Since then, my eyes have been chronically dry and red, and burn. My vision is blurry and it's much worse than before the surgery. Maloney then gave me another surgery called an "enhancement" and made my eyes even worse. He also was inappropriate with a female doctor who works with him. He caressed her hair, rubbed her arm and whispered things in her ear -- right in front of me, a patient! He supports implanting jewels in people's eyes -- which is very dangerous and uncomfortable. For $2000 he will implant "eye jewelery into your eyeball." There are several lawsuits against him as he lies to his patients and has ruined many people's vision. He is an actor more than a doctor. google him and bad lasik and you will see what i mean."

Affidavit regarding LASIK and Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP)

AFFIDAVIT OF DR. STEPHEN ORLIN

This affidavit is from Dr. Stephen Orlin, an expert witness of my LASIK doctors in several lawsuits. He clearly states "Retinopathy of Prematurity, in and of itself, is not a contraindication to LASIK surgery". It also states as an expert of my doctors, that my retinas were "healthy" for practical purposes of LASIK.

Currently, only the rich text format is available.

New York, NY

Dr. Speaker has had to pay the highest LASIK litigation verdict to date.
