I had lasik at this office. But I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.<br>These are the bad experiences I had there.<br><br>Other doctors, not Dr. Ellis, do the pre-test, so there is more chance to fail. (Not like what they said, my first surgery failed. So I had very inconvenient life for more than 3 months before the second surgery.)<br><br>Then, they charged extra big dollars for the second surgery. I could not believe it.<br><br>Dr. Ellis and the managing lady became rude when they heard complaints. (He looked and sounded like a sales person, not a doctor.)<br><br>Office was small and always crowded with Latino patients, therefore, long waiting time.

Watch out ! He is dangerous ! I went to his office in jan 2011 for any LASIK procedure consultation and He was my first doctor ! I so thankful of God for rescuing me from him otherwise he would have already taken out my clear and healthy natural eye lenses ! To make the story short , I am 27 with extreme myopia nearsightedness of -19 . At the visit , first he did not meet me himself , his nurse named James did all the measurements and finally told me that Dr Ellis says the only option we have for u is the Refractive Lens Exchange called RLE, it is where they take out ur natural lens and replace it with artificial one , just like cataract for older people . I did not have a lot of info about RLE so I came home and started my homework , after a long time of research I found out that RLE at my age is not even FDA approved and it is extremely risky . It's biggest risk is retina detachment ! So I kept looking for other doctors in the area and further ! I did found that there is another safe and FDA approved procedure for me called Vissian ICL , it is where they implant a lens in front of your natural lens so just few weeks ago I did the surgery with Dr Mark Vopicelle and now I see sharp and vision is in excellent condition , no need for glasses or contacts ! My advise do not go to just one doctor and do a lot of homework ! Never go to Ellis !

I went in to the San Jose location for just a consultation and eye exam for the Lasik procedure. I arrived right on time for my appointment and the waiting room was full no seats available. Then waited 45 minutes to have my name called and at that point was told it would be another 30-45 minutes before I was completed. <br><br>I did not stay, I decided to leave. I waited too long not to have been seen.
