I went to Dr Clavenna for my LASIK done on 5/4/2012. I went to him because my father had his LASIK done maybe 8 years prior with Dr Clavenna and was happy with the results, and he seemed the most qualified doctor around town after doing research due to their up to date machines and customVue technology. My eyes were one of the worst he had seen and also a high astigmatism, and going into it he told me I probably wouldn't get 20/20 the first time around due to the severity of my correction. The procedure was painless and everyone was very professional, I had the procedure done on Thursday and came back to work on Monday (I work in an office at a computer all day). After a few months it was clear I wouldn't have 20/20. I was closer to 20/40. I needed reading and driving glasses. I decided to get the enhancement done one year later. He did it for free the second time because he does enhancements within a year if you don't get 20/20 the first time and are unsatisfied. Unfortunately he could not get my eye flaps back up when we went to do LASIK again, which happens rarely if they heal over too much. We jointly decided to proceed with LASEK (prk) surface oblation which is another option if this happens. I was pretty upset and worried during the procedure due to the complication, but Dr Clavenna and his OR staff did an amazing job to calm me down and they were again very professional and helpful. The procedure then went along as planned and 5 weeks later after my enhancement I am almost at 20/20 with no discomfort at all. I really feel Dr Clavenna has my best interests at heart and really listens to my concerns. He goes over all possible complications and makes sure you are making the right decision for you. Even with going through the procedure twice (which he told me up front would probably happen) I have absolutely nothing bad to say about him and his entire staff. I recommend Dr Clavenna and LASIK procedures to everyone I meet!! It entirely changed my life!
I had my Wavefront LASIK done with Dr. Fitzgerald. I really like that they did the surgery at Beaumont Hospital. It has only been a few days and I can't believe how well I see, they did an amazing job. The entire staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. I would very highly recommend Dr. Fitzgerald and the Clavenna Vision Institute.
Dr. Clavenna and his professional and compassionate team have been my source for eye car for over 8 years. From my eye exams to Lasik eye surgery, he is the one I see. As well as being an exceptional ophthalmologist, he is a wonderful individual who quietly contributes to the community. You'll like him as a person and trust him as your doctor.
