The doctor did not show much concern for my problem and did not seem like she was even listening

It was a first class experience. I'm thankful for Vanderbilt Eye Institute.

Dr. Sobel has been the first eye doctor to recognize my underlying problem. After I got my prescription, my symptoms were instantly relieved. No one has been able to do that. I am disappointed that my last eye exam (within 8 weeks of this one) my diagnosis was missed by another provider.

The procedure was not explained in detail enough nor did prepare one for the severity of the post op recovery. No instructions post op were given in writing or by email. The experience was traumatic and painful though it was not explained to be that way.
