Fishing Tommorrow - Cataract Surgon Referal Needed
The good news is I can fish tomorrow. The bad news is that my cataract surgery for 8:15 this morning couldn't happen due to administrative goof ups. I needed clearance from my primary care doctor and the eye clinic was supposed to take care of getting that or telling me to schedule an appointment with him. Yesterday they called saying that the primary doctor hadn't gotten back with them yet. They wanted his phone number and said "see you in the morning". The primary doc's nurse called me yesterday at 4:50pm saying that the eye doc was trying to get clearance and did I have their number. I knew right then that the surgery wasn't going to happen, but I fasted and went up to Lafayette anyway. Yep I was right. No surgery and putting drops 4 times a day for 3 days was a waste of time. Maybe the $125 worth of drops is wasted too.
Long story short they were apologetic and said a surgery counselor would call, but I don't believe I trust them enough now to reschedule. So if anyone can recommend another Lafayette clinic that would be good. It has to be one that accepts Medicare + supplement. Another person went home ahead of us with a similar story.

I wouldn't trust those folks John. Dr. Richard Bourgeois did mine. He is part of the Lafayette General system. I recommend him.

Edit: Just gave them a call and the nurse is going to talk to the doctor about my situation and get back to me.

That really irritates me... Nothing worse than having to pay for someone elses incompetence.

had both of mine done 8 and 9 months ago by Dr. Barry in Little Rock at the Baptist Eye Center. Excellent doctor, excellent staff. No goof ups. Had toric lens put in for my astigmatism. I now have bionic eyes and can see fish on the bottom from 12 feet deep in muddy water - welllll, maybe no that deep

Hey John I would find another place. Castration and Cataract are too close for a typo with their competency record.
