| What is it with all this anti-Booth rhetoric?
All I'm seeing are accusations getting posted over and over and over and
over.
At least there are some people happy with their results.

| You need to talk with the millions of patients around the world that thanks
to Lasik have near perfect vision today. I personally have 20/20 vision
thanks to Dr. Boothe and know of dozens of friends and co-workers who
think Dr. Boothe walks on water. They have great vision too!

Just what lasik needs to survive---an anonymous fake testimonial.

This coming from the queen of fake testimonials. What a pile.

| Fake testimonial? I hardly think it's difficult to come up with a
positive testimonial when about 5000 people per day have LASIK done.

| It is my understanding from a very reliable source in Dallas that a
swift and all-encompassing injunctive order from a Texas court against
the owner of the website and against Brent Hanson elicited a quick
settlement to cease and desist.

| Its a shame the the websites are gone because the world really needs to
know the truth about Dr. Boothe not just what he wants the patients to
see. He has an assembly line practice and all he cares about is how
many patients he can schedule just to fill his pockets more. He does
not care about ANYONE not patients or employees. He is a dangerous man!

| When a court makes an injunctive order against those who conspire to
publish certain information, and when those same co-conspirators agree
to remove the offending information within days of being served with
the injunctive order, it seems to me to be reasonable to assume that
the information as presented was not truthful.
Inaccurate and misleading information does not serve anyone well.
In my opinion, if the information was truthful the court and the
people who published it would not have moved so quickly to remove it.

| Glenn, I beg to differ with you. I have heard of some of the
information on those websites and I can tell you from first hand
experiance that it was true. This man is rushes patients through so
fast it is truly an assembly line. He has previous employees that are
suing him for harrasment and patients that sue for damages. You will
never see any of those in a courtroom because he pays them off because
he does not want to go to court. If a jury saw this man on the stand
he would lose for sure.

| I am quite certain that some of the information presented was
accurate, but part of something being accurate may not make it a
representation of the truth.
I do not take the side of the plaintiff or the defendants. I consider
instead the opinion of the judge. An injunctive order makes it clear
to me that an impartial judge found the information as presented to be
substantially untruthful.
Finding the information on these websites to be untruthful does not go
to the issue of whether or not you like the doctor in question, or
like the methods by which he practices, or even if he is a good or bad
doctor. This is only about whether or not the information published
was truthful. A judge determined it was not. All other issues remain
open for consideration.

| I don't want to rehash the entire Rothman saga... but what you mention
below is very similar to something that happened to me. There were 9
patients who came in for LASIK in the evening. To rush things along
he wound up doing PRK on all but one of the patients. The first one
didn't even start til 5:30pm and the surgeon had a plane to catch at
10pm (which he missed). Anyway, LVI keeps their operating rooms ice
cold. I was the 8th person scheduled. Since I was sitting in that ice
cold room just outside the laser room for hours, I had to pee badly.
I asked where the potty was and the tech pointed down the hallway. I
was out of the room less than a minute... the restroom was only 30
feet away. In the one minute I was gone, they shuffled out the
previous patient, didn't wait at all for me and ushered in another
patient before me! That turned out to be good because I had been
paying attention to what was going on... patients going in for LASIK
and coming out with PRK. The person that took my place in the queue
also wound up getting PRK done which got me asking questions. The
surgeon got so annoyed that he broke the slit lamp in the operating
room when he moved it in the wrong way (Rothman is a big dude). I got
whisked over to another room with a functioning slit lamp, and then
the real battle began which resulted in the staff optometrist shouting
at the surgeon, me not getting my procedure done there. And doc
missing his plane.
Their speediness ended there though. They took over a month to credit
the $2000 back to my credit card. They were holding my money hostage
and set up a surgery with the original surgeon Feaster. Feaster
decided he was going to put monofocal iols into my 35 year old eyes to
give me the vision of a 60 year old without even examining me. I
wanted my money refunded, so I told them I would meet with Feaster
after they credited my money back. I had no intention of letting him
near my eyes. Since they didn't refund my money, I didn't go in. I
told them I wouldn't come in until they credited the money back and
they didn't. I found out days later that Feaster was LIVID with anger
that I didn't show up for his IOL surgery. I can summarize what I
think of him with 1 finger. Had I gone there, Feaster would have
discovered that he isn't the only one that is capable of anger.
In the months after that, LVI really went down the drain. They are
still horrible, but they aren't making nearly the profits that they
used to.

| Just because you get sued doesn't mean you are guilty.
Anyone can get sued for no reason whatsover. All it takes is a lawyer
with imagination.
Glenn's got it right:
"I do not take the side of the plaintiff or the defendants. I consider
instead the opinion of the judge. An injunctive order makes it clear
to me that an impartial judge found the information as presented to be
substantially untruthful."
