Patients are talking about:

Numerous patients reported positive surgical outcomes, with procedures such as PRK and LASIK resulting in marked improvement or even complete correction of vision, often described as 'life-changing'.
However, there were also reports of unsuccessful surgeries, with some patients stating they experienced no improvement post-procedure, or even worsened vision; a few patients also reported waking up during surgery, suggesting possible issues with anesthesia management.
A recurring concern among the reviews was Dr. Shofner's communication style, which some patients found condescending or dismissive of their questions and concerns, detracting from their overall experience.
Issues with office administration, particularly billing, was another point of criticism, with several customers reporting challenges in their interactions with office staff and misunderstanding about billing policies.
Despite these concerns, many reviews affirmed Dr. Shofner's surgical skill and knowledge, maintaining their trust in his expertise and acknowledging his contribution to their improved vision.
