I've been seeing Dr Cottle for several years, mostly for standard eye exams. In my most recent visit, we discovered that my increasingly blurry vision was due to cataracts in both eyes. Dr Cottle recommended "multi-focal intra-ocular lenses" (MF-IOL). The surgery was easy, the recovery has been fast, and the results have been excellent. For the first time in over 25 years, I no longer need glasses of any kind (even reading glasses). I can't recommend Dr Cottle and Lake Austin Eye highly enough for cataract surgery.
My father has been a patient of Dr. Cottle off and on for five years. Five years ago he had cataract surgery on both eyes. Everything went well and smoothly with the actual surgery. This year he has some scaring from the cataract surgery a common side effect. Again the treatment of a laser has gone well. I have no complaints on Dr. Cottle and her skills as an eye surgeon. Five stars!<br><br>Now the cons. Her appointment times are terrible. It doesn't matter why you are there. You will be there for 1.5 hours or longer. Second, issue is billing. Five years ago we had some major issues with our billing. My father is a Medicare with a supplement patient, a common standard for the elderly. It seemed to highly confused the office staff. I am not sure about this round of work. We haven't gotten bills yet.<br><br>Also do note Dr. Cottle has move her office from Bee Caves Road to HWY 620. The new office is in the new medical buildings off 71/620.
Dr. Cottle is amazing. Very knowledgeable and kind. She performed a Corneal Transplant on my left eye. She walked me through the process and was up front about the risks vs. rewards. Her team was on the ball with what the ins and out of insurance would be. She was calm, cool, and confident every step of the way. The operation went flawless and she has been just as professional through the recovery. Cannot recommend enough to anybody with any sort of corneal issue.
