How To Choose A LASIK Surgeon

One of the most important steps in the process of undergoing any surgery, is choosing the right surgeon. Below are a few important guidelines provided by Orange County LASIK Surgeon, Dr. Mark Schneider, to help you in your search for the right LASIK surgeon:

1. Get referrals from other patients, friends, and family.
   
   
2. Beware of advertisements pushing "low cost" surgery. Discount surgery is just that. The quality of care and technology IS NOT the same. The potential savings are not worth the risk in receiving less than expert care.
   
   
3. Don't be fooled by fancy advertisements about a particular laser center. Investigate the doctor, not the center. Find out who will actually do your procedure, then ask about that particular doctor's qualifications. (board certification, specialized training, etc.)
   
   
4. How many actual LASIK procedures has the surgeon performed himself? Choose a doctor who has done at least 5,000 LASIK procedures.
