Too expensive. I was referred here by my ophthalmologist to get a consultation for PRK for my keratoconus since he said that the FDA had recently (at the time) approved it and so it should now be covered by insurance. His office made the appointment for me and forwarded my medical info. While there, to my surprise, I was given a complete eye exam and topography scan. I should've known to ask, but I assumed they saw my records (maybe they didn't), so they must not have been satisfied or always do their own exams. When Dr. Rostov finally came in, it was a 5-minute conversation to tell me that PRK is not covered by insurance yet, and that she recommends doing a corneal transplant and went on to explain how good she is. As it turns out, I can't afford the non-covered portion, and I still have 1 good eye, so I declined. After discussing with my ophthalmologist, he agrees I don't need surgery yet. The whole visit cost me about $450 which my insurance wouldn't cover, and she didn't need to give me an exam to suggest surgery when she could've reviewed my file. What a colossal waste of time and money. I guess that's the business of doctors referring to each other so they can continue to receive business from each other. I had a feeling that if I go through with the surgery, I would be in for more for financial surprises like another reviewer experienced. I'm glad I was able to stay away after horrible first impression.
