Patient Reviews
Jan 26, 2024
Because of insurance issues, my surgical center would cost much more with my regular eye doctor for treating cataracts, so I chose Dr. Platt who did my wife's cataracts and was so pleased. I didn't meet Dr. Platt until just before the surgery and I asked what the lens would do. I was disappointed that I would still require reading glasses because both lens would be for distance--or my lenses would be $3400 each. So I said to go ahead; I've always had glasses. But a few days after surgery, Dr. Platt called me at home to tell me a lens manufacturer was running a promo and I could get a $3,000 lens for free for my second eye! So we did it! I was blown away that 1) Dr. Platt personally called me EVEN THOUGH I wasn't even his own patient! And he knew I was disappointed which prompted his going above and beyond! His competence was obvious, but I loved his care and the thousands he saved me.
