Due For Lasik Surgery. Heard Not So Good Reviews About The Eye Surgeon. Suggest

Hi Dr. Grief~ I'm just really confused. I have an appt to have Lasik surgery done on the 22nd and today when I took my daughter for her eye exam the eye doctor told me the surgeon I am planning on having the surgery with is responsible for damaging as many eyes as he fixes. I tried to look up some reviews on him and of course there is one that loves him and another that says what I stated above. I just don't know what to do.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..
What is your refractive error?
How was the Lasik pre-evaluation?
If everything is ok, you can proceed with the procedure..
Actually speaking, a LASIK surgeon should have a sound theoritical knowledge and analytical ability rather than skill ( of course skill is also required.!!)..
Complications can happen with any one, but a surgeon who is able to manage complication without becoming bothered is the best one..
Don't be confused.. Try to get more details about the surgeon...
Take a second opinion if required.. Try to analyse the doctor by the way he speaks to you and counsels you..
Keep a cool and positive mind.. All the best...
Will be available for further queries if required...
