I had cataract surgery on my first eye 3 weeks ago and I can now sit here at the computer, reading the small print without any glasses. I can not wait to get my other eye taken care of next week. I have visited both the North Austin and Via Fortuna locations and have been very impressed with the staff at both. Mann appears to be a very happy place to work and the staff responds by giving the very best of care and service. Kristin at the front desk at the Via Fortuna location was especially impressive.A few years ago I took my mother to a different eye center and it was like an assembly line - not so at Mann. They treat their patients like valued guests and always seem to have enough time to answer questions. There is also a lot of support via text, e-mail and phone regarding appointments. Now about Dr Luke Barker.... well he is awesome! While I am not very religious I was still touched that he came in to say a little prayer before starting my surgery. He promised me he would do a good job and he did! The staff at the hospital were all very helpful, supportive and courteous too. All in all, something I had been dreading for years has so far turned out to be a great experience. A little pain and discomfort during the actual surgery, but it was quickly over with and I have had no problems with recovery.I am seeing better with just one good eye than I have seen in many years. Those cataracts kind of sneaked up on me and I did not realize how much I was missing.
