Patient Testimonial

“Thank you Dr. Fladen, Kathy, and staff. Thank you isn’t enough to express the gratitude I feel. You have changed my whole life. It took me several weeks to throw away the glasses & contacts. I had grown so dependent on them; it still feels so strange not to need them at all. I wake up every morning able to see the clock and go to sleep without the need of removing anything. My vision is perfectly clear and yes I can see to drive at night! I tell everyone how wonderful Dr. Fladen was and what a beautiful job he did giving my sight back. I don’t remember ever being without glasses or contacts. Kathy – thank you for remembering my name, case and also for holding my hand – that meant so much to me. Thank you all!” -Tracy Snook
