When I was twelve years old, I was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and required brain surgery. A year later, I was kicked in the face by a horse, just inches away from my brain shunt, and from that point, my vision was poor. My awful vision was affecting my life and my hobbies. My parents wanted to help, so mom researched all the LASIK doctors in the region to make sure we found the best. After reading up on numerous doctors from Alabama to Louisiana she came across Dr. D. We were thrilled with the reviews we found all around the internet. We looked hard, but did not find one bad review. Then we went to the SEECA website which gave us all the information we needed to decide that Dr. D was the doctor for the job! The morning we headed towards Houma, I was so anxious to get there. My family and I made a road trip out of it, and SEECA offers a $100 travel voucher for out-of-towners…which I thought was very nice. When we finally made it there, I was so excited and so nervous, I mean these are my eyes and I can’t afford for anything to go wrong. I knew the next morning I would finally have the vision I had hoped for, and that’s exactly what happened. The office staff made me feel right at home and I had the sweetest physician assistant who helped me every step of the way. She even held my hand through the entire procedure. After just a few minutes I was out of surgery and back in the room with my parents. I was thrilled that surgery had gone so well. My parents were also thrilled, because Dr. D informed us that I qualified for the $699 an eye versus the $999 an eye we had planned for. I’m a pretty big sissy, but the healing process wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected. I returned the following day for my post-op visit and my vision was amazing. I was sent home with a packet explaining everything I would encounter during the healing process, so there were no surprises. Upon returning home I told everyone about Dr. D and sent a friend to get her eyes done by Dr. D, because I’ve never known a doctor’s office to have so many discounts available on top of already wonderful prices. Now my friend has perfect vision too. I remember my first moment, realizing the benefit of my new vision. I was sitting on the couch with my husband, and for the first time ever I could easily read the small print on the TV guide on our TV which is clear across the living room. I yelled out in excitement (probably scared my husband) because I was so happy and I really wanted to cry! Now I can enjoy my life so much more. As an avid hunter, I can see wildlife much clearer than before and my dusk and dawn vision is much improved. As a barrel racer, I feel more confident guiding my horse through high speed maneuvers. College is better now too, because I don’t have to sit in the very front of the class to see the board. Work is better because I can see my ultrasound screen more clearly which allows me to provide better care to my patients. I also enjoy watching my husband race and I can see his car at the far end of the track much more clearly than before. There aren’t enough good things I can say about having LASIK eye surgery with Dr. D and SEECA. I am really glad my Mom was able to find Dr. D on the internet and it was definitely worth the drive. For years I struggled with poor vision, but now, I can see the way the good Lord intended. Thanks to Dr. D and the wonderful staff at SEECA.
