A Word From The Doctor
Dear Patient,
I got my first pair of glasses at age 12, and still vividly remember how much I hated wearing them. I had LASIK surgery on my own eyes in 1997, and for the first time in my adult life, I experienced the wonderful freedom from glasses it brings. I could see individual blades of grass in a lawn, open my eyes underwater and see my alarm clock without glasses. Life’s simple pleasures seemed to truly come alive. The decision to have vision correction surgery is exciting, but it is also frightening for many people. I’m often asked if the procedures are safe. If you are a good candidate, I can tell you that I have such confidence in these procedures, I’ve personally treated my wife, my mother, my brother and six other family members. One of my core beliefs is that you, too deserve to be treated like a family member. To me, that means you are seen promptly without waiting, you are treated with courtesy and all of your questions are answered. Treating you like family means that we thoroughly educate you about the procedures as they apply to you and your eyes. Family means that we triple check the surgical plan to ensure it is perfect for you. As I would with my own family, I will recommend the procedure that is best for you, or none at all if that’s what we find is most appropriate.
I think you will be excited when you see the clear difference we offer at the Maloney-Shamie Vision Institute. I look forward to meeting you and introducing you to the incredible freedom that life without glasses and contacts can bring.
Yours sincerely,
Robert K. Maloney, M.D., M.A. (Oxon)
