Colorado Custom LASIK Vision Correction Surgeon Laser Eye Surgery with CustomVue Wavefront LASIK in the Denver & Boulder Metro Area

I do not claim that my LASIK outcomes are always perfect, nor do I claim that my results are better than other Laser Eye Surgeon's results. However, my staff and I are deeply committed to provide you state-of-the-art Laser Vision Correction in an intelligent, kind and compassionate environment. We do everything we can to maximize your chance of obtaining a successful Laser Vision result. Over 98% of the patients that have received Laser Vision Correction from me are satisfied with their result and the quality of care they received from me and my staff.

Once again, welcome to my website. I would like to tell you about myself and my approach to the practice of medicine. I graduated from the University of Colorado School of Engineering in 1971, received my Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) Degree from the University of Colorado School of Medicine in 1975, and completed my residency training in Ophthalmology at the University of Colorado Medical Center in 1979 and was then Board Certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology in 1980. I opened my practice in Ophthalmology in Denver in 1979. My practice philosophy was, and is simple; be kind to my patients and employees, keep my fees reasonable, and provide state-of-the-art technical expertise. By following this philosophy, I've built, and I continue to maintain, one of the largest solo Ophthalmology practices in Denver.

My Experience as a Refractive Surgeon....

I was one of the first Eye Surgeons in Denver to perform Radial Keratotomy (RK), starting in 1984. I performed RK for less than a year, then stopped. I was probably the first Eye Surgeon in Denver to stop performing RK. My results were good but patients were only moderately satisfied with their visual outcome. I did, however, maintain a large surgical practice, and I performed thousands of cataract operations. In 1995, the FDA approved Laser Vision Correction. I was one of the "pioneers" of Laser Vision Correction in Denver, being one of the first Eye Surgeons to perform an FDA-approved Laser Vision Correction procedure. I have since performed thousands of LASIK procedures. 98% of the patients I have treated are satisfied with their results; 99% of my patients can drive a car without correction, and over 95% no longer wear any correction for distance. In fact, within 24 hours after LASIK, over 95% of patients can see to drive and return to work. LASIK is very safe, highly precise and essentially painless. There are no needles or sutures and no bleeding. Anesthesia is administered by eye drops. Millions of LASIK procedures have been performed worldwide with less than a 1% incidence of serious complications. There have been no reported cases of blindness in any FDA Excimer Laser study. LASIK, however, is not a perfect procedure and you need to have a clear understanding of the potential and limitations of LASIK. My purpose in presenting this website to you is help give you the information necessary for you to decide if LASIK is for you and how to select your LASIK surgeon.
