Who is the best eye surgeon in NJ?
Bruinsh
Looking to get corrective eye surgery and I live in NJ. I have heard of horror stories of crappy doctors. I googled top doctors but I keep on getting doctor's websites. Does anyone know of any medical reviews of top doctors in this field? Thanks in advance
Answer
I doubt any surgeon could become known as " the best"
You need to research the laser clinics to find out who is the surgeon at that particular clinic, then check with the Better Business Bureau for complaints against the clinic.
Laser clinics have their share of problem cases that seems to average out to be the same anywhere.
Lasik doesn't require " top surgeon" status, it is all computerized. The surgeons actual surgical skills aren't even used.

Can anyone recommend a good LASIK surgeon in NJ or NY?

I have gone to tow doctors who have said I am a good candidate. One was too expensive and the one with the reasonable price which is the one that I have heard of the most has had 17 malpractice lawsuits.
Answer
What is a "reasonable price" when the risk is your sight? 17 lawsuits is a lot, even by high-volume refractive surgery standards. Are you willing to take this kind of risk to save a few dollars?
These are your eyes, don't cheap out on your vision. It's one thing if you buy a cheap LCD TV and the pixels go bad - you can take it back and exchange it for a new one. But if you have a bad outcome with eye surgery you're stuck with that for life.
Probably the most important decision someone who is considering LASIK must make is what surgeon to choose. Although I do not perform LASIK, I have created a document for my cataract patients to help them in choosing a surgeon. The article can be viewed by clicking this link:
