Dr. Lawrence Woodard, MD

My regular eye doctor recommended Dr. Woodard for elective lens replacement surgery. I saw Dr. Woodard for a CONSULTATION roughly a month after my annual eye exam. Initially, I was told that insurance would cover approx. half of the total cost (12k). I arrived on time, checked-in, and paid a $50 co-pay, for a CONSULTATION. First, red flag. I was then put through a battery of eye tests, all of which were done roughly a month prior. During the exams I asked if they had my chart from my eye doctor and was told no. My eye doctor had told me they would send them over prior to the CONSULTATION. Second, red flag. After nearly 2 hours, I finally reached the scheduler who told me that insurance would cover nothing related to the surgery. That conversation last approximately 1 minute and probably could have taken place over the phone. After paying for parking, I had wasted $57 and 2.5 hrs of my time for a two minute conversation that could taken place over the phone or via email.

Kind, patient, thorough, and very respectful of my concerns. An amazing surgeon too!

My initial appointment took nearly three hours, with only about 10 minutes spent with the doc who was to do surgery on my eyes
