What Do Patients Say About Dr. Pamel? Reviews and News

"Having LASIK Surgery is like switching from regular TV to HD! I didn't realize what I was missing. The operation was stress free and I couldn't believe how fast it went. LASIK has had a huge impact on my golf game. My depth perception and ability to see yardages has improved a lot. The biggest difference I have noticed has been my ability to read the greens. I'm making more putts than ever! Thank you so much Dr. Pamel!" — Tim Puetz, PGA Professional, Assistant Professional, Laurel Links Country Club, Laurel, New York

"I had been extremely nearsighted with my prescription in the -12 to -13 range for all of my adult life. Contact lenses were becoming intolerable and I knew LASIK was not an option. The Verisyse lens implant Dr. Pamel placed in my eyes restored my vision as if I had perfect contact lenses on all of the time. I wish I had undergone the procedure while I was still playing professional ball, it would have transformed my career. The procedure was painless and the results were amazing even the next day. Dr. Pamel and his staff did an outstanding job from start to finish." — Brandon Williams, Former NBA Star with the San Antonio Spurs and Director of Basketball Operations for the NBA

"From the initial consultation with Dr. Pamel I felt very comfortable and certain that he was the surgeon who should perform my LASIK surgery. I was impressed with the performance of the Wavelight laser technology he uses and he spent time explaining the surgery to me as well as the potential risks associated with it. His staff was very professional and courteous in accommodating my hectic schedule. The procedure went very smoothly and my post operative course was uneventful. I regained my sight the next day and was even able to drive in to see Dr. Pamel!

As a play by play broadcaster, whether I'm calling a New York Jets, Rangers or Knicks game, or working college basketball or football for ESPN, I owe my entire living and career to my eyesight. It is critical for me to be able to see players and uniform numbers, often times from great distances. Having LASIK with Dr. Pamel turned out to be a great decision for me and my career. I'm enjoying 20/20 vision in both eyes. I couldn't be more pleased with my outcome and the quality of care I received." — Bob Wischusen, ESPN Sportscaster for the New York Jets, Rangers and Knicks
