Our patients speak about their experiences
after surgery performed at the Key-Whitman.
Jeffrey J. Battle
Past President - Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind, Inc.
"I want you to know how delighted I am with the results of the LASIK
you recently performed to correct my vision.
As you know, I was unable to see "the big E" on the eye chart
without my glasses. Indeed, I was rejected from military service because
of my unacceptable visual acuity. So, I am absolutely amazed that you
were able to surgically correct my sight to 20/20 in both eyes. And, I'm
even more amazed that the procedure was quick, simple, and not at all
unpleasant.
I'll not dwell on all of the inconveniences of wearing glasses I no longer
have to suffer. But among the most enjoyable are my ability to see the
alarm clock, the absence of peripheral distortions, and being able to
use a variety of sunglasses. Life is easier and cheaper since LASIK.
Your sensitive and nurturing attitude during and after the procedure
made me feel special - as if I were your only patient. I sincerely appreciate
your genuine concern about my health and comfort.
Thank you very, very much."

Carl W. Clark
"You have finished my second eye for cataracts and I want you to
know how much I appreciate you and your staff for providing excellent
care and compassion during the surgery and post operative care. You obviously;
not only have excellent skills as a surgeon, but you have excellent managerial
skills in planning, organizing, and control of the company. You are a
master of guiding human and physical resources into dynamic organizational
groups.
At every level of operation; your people seem to have exceptional interpersonal
skills to enable the patients to feel comfortable and relaxed in a medical
environment. I was overwhelmed by the courtesy and timely process of the
operation, post operative care and providing transportation to and from
your facility.
Thank you for caring for your patients."

"Six years ago you performed RK on me. My vision was 20/400. You
fixed my vison to 20/20, 20/15. Six years later my vision is still 20/20,
20/15. I know now you use lasers. I just wanted to say thanks!! It still
feels like a miracle. I remind myself every day of how lucky I am to live
in a time when medical procedures like RK and now LASIK are possible.
Thanks Again!"

Mark Frohman, Ph.D.
"I had 6.5 diopters of myopia and now I have perfect 20/20 vision.
The joy of waking up in the morning and being able to see the clock and
the ability to swim with my children were the first two new found benefits
of the LASIK surgery.
I have been following the advances in refractive surgery for 17 years
and I am so happy I waited for LASIK. Several of my friends and family
are going to have the surgery done because of my tremendous results."

Stormy Gale Gardner
"Thank you for my eyesight!! My LASIK surgery has totally changed
my life and given me a freedom I haven't had since I started wearing glasses
at ten years of age. I had no pain and I continue to be just as amazed
now as I was the day after surgery. April 8, 1999 will be a day in my
life I will never forget."

Lois Hitt-Gilmer
"I had to write you to thank you for giving me a new lease on life!
I am 75 years old, a piano teacher, church pianist for over 60 years and
organist for funerals, weddings, etc. Because of cataracts, I felt it
was time to retire from all this because of poor vision which made it
so difficult to practice, being able to read music so well.
You did my surgery on my right eye July 11. Crystalens seemed the right
choice, so you implanted that eye. That was a Wednesday—I played for church
worship the following Sunday—Seeing better than I had in a long time.
The other eye was done this week on the 25th and I have practiced piano
every day since. I will play for church again tomorrow, thanking God for
a wonderful, dedicated doctor who along with our father has allowed my
eyesight to be what it was many years ago.
I thank you with all my heart for the happiness I am experiencing being
able to already see so much better! I feel the best is yet to come!"

Betty Ivy
"I don't know how to express my thanks to you and your staff except
to say how happy I am to see without glasses or contact lenses! My vision
was so poor, I couldn't see the big E on an eye test and was legally blind
without correction, so again thanks to you and your wonderful staff. I
has been 3 years since my eye surgery for nearsightedness and astigmatism.
Since I am unfortunately or fortunate to be over 40, I sometimes need
reading glasses and sometimes I don't! God bless you and your wonderful
staff for you expertise in helping people see without glasses. It is truly
miraculous and I didn't think it would ever happen to me!"

Joan Johnson
"I had the LASIK surgery. . .and it has completely changed my life.
I don't have to wear contacts. I don't have to wear glasses, and it's
the best thing I ever did for myself. My boss actually came into my office
right after the surgery, and he looked at me and he said, 'You're not
squinting any more!' And you know, I just look at him and smile real big
and just say, you know, 'I know.' I can see. I don't have to squint.
I didn't experience any pain. It was amazing. I would absolutely do LASIK
again. It's nothing short of a miracle.
For someone who had Coke-bottle thick glasses, like I did, it's a miracle."

Jack A. Kern, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon
"I wanted to send you a note on how much I appreciated your efforts
in regard to my recent LASIK eye procedure. My surgery was performed in
mid-February and as soon as I left the operating room and rested a bit
before going home, I could tell that my vision was markedly improved.
Since then, my correction is 20/15 in both eyes, as it really hasn't changed
much for the past 2 months.
Please give my thanks and regards to your entire staff. Is must be a
pleasure for them to work in the environment where their patients all
seem to be happy. This is obviously the case with everyone I encountered
in your office seeming to be having a very good day.
Thanks again for your courtesy, skill, and efforts. I appreciate them
very much and my wife, Kathy, will be in to schedule with you sometime
this fall."

Kim Mahaney
"I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you how happy I am with
my LASIK surgery. It has been 3 weeks since the surgery and I feel like
a new person. I started wearing contacts when I was 18 (in the 60's).
I was very active riding horses, and dirt bike motorcycles. I continued
wearing them until 1997 when my eyes became so dry I could not tolerate
them any longer. Even being very nearsighted, I then required help reading.
They drove me crazy. I was constantly trying to find the correct focus,
especially when working on my computer 8 hours a day.
I used to look out the window in the morning and wonder what it was like
to see beyond the front porch. Finally, when I felt this procedure was
perfected, I went for it. And sure enough, I know what it feels like to
wake up in the morning and see the rabbits playing in the pasture. It
is truly a miracle.
The mono vision has worked perfectly and allowed me to read without reading
glasses. I feel like a teenager again, only better, because I couldn't
see 2 feet in front of me when I was a teenager!
After researching and discussing with other friends and their experiences
with another doctor, I chose Key-Whitman and am so glad I did. All of
your associates are so very accommodating to the patient, and make them
feel so "at home" that it makes the decision to have the surgery
fear free.
And as for you, Dr. Whitman, you made me feel so comfortable by assuring
me you would not hurt my eyes, that I felt totally comfortable during
the entire procedure.
I tell everyone of my "no-fear, no-pain" experience. Again,
thank you so very much for all you have done to make my life beautiful."

Dear Doctor Warren, and the entire Key Whitman staff,
I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you so much for the wonderful,
life- changing surgery. I had Intra-LASIK performed this past Friday,
and it is by far the greatest thing I have ever experienced in all my
34 years!
I have been nearsighted (-7.00) in both eyes for almost 20 years. I had
pretty much come to the conclusion that I was going to be stuck in contacts
and glasses my entire life, until about 10 or 12 years ago when LASIK
was first introduced.
Being the stubborn and very skeptical person that I am, I wanted to do
my homework first before having the procedure performed. I actually had
several friends that had the old, blade style LASIK procedure performed
10 years ago, and all are still seeing 20/20 or greater with little to
no side effects. I then went to seminars for several different LASIK surgeons,
to understand the complete process, cost, and possible side effects. After
speaking with many people who had this remarkable surgery performed, I
decided on Key Whitman.
I cannot speak more highly of the Key Whitman team. All the staff is
friendly and courteous. The offices are clean and professional, and most
importantly, you don’t feel like you are in a “cattle call” like some
places, (in and out). The technology they use is absolutely amazing. I
worked for a company about 8 years ago that used similar lasers to machine
micro-electronic components, so it just thrills me to see this technology
put to use in the medical field.
As far as my actual surgery, it was great. There is literally no pain
or discomfort! They had removed my glasses so they could begin putting
the numbing drops in my eyes, being -7.00 nearsighted, the nurse literally
had to guide me into the operating room. 5 -10 minutes later, I walked
out, able to see on my own!!! I went home, slept for 4 to 5 hours, and
actually watched a little TV that evening. The next morning, I drove myself
to my follow-up appointment. I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes!!! I
also had a slight astigmatism in my left eye, which I wasn’t aware of
until the pre-op exam. They corrected this as well! Simply amazing. This
is now the fourth day following the procedure and my eyes are great. I
have noticed an even further, slight sharpening of my vision. I went walking
in the park by my home yesterday, I could not believe how vivid and clear
all the trees and plants looked!
If anyone out there is thinking about having LASIK performed, I would
highly recommend Key Whitman. I have traveled all over the world, and
experienced many amazing things in my life, but this is by far the most
extraordinary thing I have ever experienced. Being able to see clearly
without contacts or glasses, after a 10 minute procedure! Thank you so
much to everyone at Key Whitman.

"After over 30 years of needed glasses or contacts to see, I cannot
express the enjoyment of being able to see unassisted. When I came to
your center my 20/400 vision was a great burden, and now I am enjoying
my new found vision.
Having an operation on one's eyes is an intimidating experience. After
very careful research on my part, I chose your center for the surgery.
The attention and care, along with the professional treatment, provided
the comfort and sense of security that made the experience proceed smoothly.
You should be very proud of the people at your center. They did a great
job and were great help to me. I am not one who is easily impressed, but
the level of service and sense of true care provided was very impressive
and deserving."

Jefferson Tucker
"WOW! I cannot believe the gift that you have given me today. This
morning, in what amounted to be about an hour long experience, you gave
me something that I have been without since I was 10 years old... clear
vision. I knew the moment you replaced my cornea that I had clear vision.
You'll remember me as the guy who gave you a big hug and shouted hallelujah
when leaving your office (sorry if I disturbed waiting patients.. I was
just overwhelmed with joy!). Anyway, it truly is a miracle and you and
this wonderful experience will go down in my life as one of the most single
important things that have ever happend to me! I plan on encouraging friends
and family members to take part in this incredible procedure. Thank you
and God bless!"

"I wanted to thank Dr. Whitman and his staff for the thorough, informative
and professional manner in which my LASIK experience was conducted. Formerly
quite nearsighted, my vision is now 20/20 or better with no adverse effects
on my reading vision to date. The instantaneous results were astounding
and the discomfort minimal. I look forward to the medical care I will
now expect from your facility in the future. Thanks again for my vision
improvement."

Emergency Room Physician
"I would like to thank you for the best gift that I can imagine.
No more eyeglasses or contact lenses. I actually drove myself, the morning
after surgery, down Central Expressway to work.
Since my surgery, it has been a wonderful daily experience to wake-up
and see clearly. As a fellow physician, I am continuously impressed with
the state-of-the-art care we are able to give our patients.
It has been extremely nice to be on the receiving end as your patient."

Kelly Wood
"About a year ago, I visited a different doctor in the metroplex
to inquire about having Lasik preformed. After paying their $150.00 consultation
fee, I had opted not to have Lasik preformed. This was due mainly to the
"hurried" approach and lack of personal attention that I received
at the laser center's facility. The employees there did not seem to be
relaxed did not have a sense of humor, and the atmosphere was "hurried".
I imagined that all Lasik centers would be much the same.
A friend who recently had Lasik at your office suggested to me that I
at least give you a shot, so I did. From the time that I walked into your
office I realized that this staff was different. Mrs. Cooper gave me personal
attention, and did everything that she could to ensure not only that Lasik
was right for me, but that I was fully informed and comfortable with what
would transpire...she even laughed at my dry jokes and threw some back
at me. Everyone at your office was smiling, and the atmosphere was very
warm. I have always been very nervous about seeing eye doctors, so the
thought of someone performing Lasik on my eyes terrified me. Mrs. Cooper
more than put my mind at ease, she made me comfortable. At the end of
the consultation, I scheduled surgery for the following Thursday (yesterday).
Mrs. Cooper told me that since I was so nervous, she would personally
take time to see me while I was being prepped for the procedure just to
make sure everything was "ok". I met with several others on
your staff, and each one seemed to smile and welcome me... not at all
the experience that I received at the previous doctors' office. I joked
with each of them, and they laughed and joked right back (and believe
me, it is unusual for someone to laugh at my jokes).
On the day of the procedure I found much of the same... relaxed, fun
atmosphere. Just before I went into the surgery room, Mrs. Cooper stopped
by and asked how I was feeling. Your staff not only does their job, but
they REALLY care about the patients. I went into the surgery room, and
seeing the smile on the faces of everyone present was relaxing; not at
all like the previous surgeries that I have undergone. The procedure was
REMARKABLY painless....I didn't feel a thing. Not only that, but the way
that you explained everything step by step put my mind at ease. I was
not surprised by anything that happened; it was exactly as you said. The
only surprise that I had was that it was painless and easy. After the
10 minute procedure (of which, the "main" part was over in 3
or 4 minutes), I exited the room to find that Mrs. Cooper was there to
make sure that I was still comfortable...she had watched the procedure
with a friend that I brought to drive me home.
I was astounded to find that I could see better on the drive home than
I could on the drive there! My vision was a bit "cloudy", just
as you said it would be, but to my surprise, I had absolutely no discomfort,
no itching, and no stinging. I napped for 4 hours after the surgery as
instructed, and when I awoke the next morning, I found that I could see
cleared than I ever have been able to (even with my contacts). I went
to the follow-up appointment this morning to discover that I already had
20/20 vision in both eyes. I am able to notice details that I never had
with my contacts.... I have discovered that trees even have leaves at
the very tops, and am able to read road signs from distances that I previously
could not even see the sign at all!
Thank you, and please thank your staff on my behalf; in-particular Mrs.
Cooper. You have a top-notch crew and I am thankful!
If you ever have potential patients that would like patient referrals,
please do not hesitate to have them contact me.
Thanks again and God Bless!"
