Lasik with Dr. Gary Kawesh (San Jose, CA)

| I am thinking of doing the custom wavefront lasik with Dr. Gary Kawesh.
Does anyone have any experience with this doctor? Do you recommend him?
Does anyone have bad results? How does he treat patients? When I had an
eye exam with him, he seemed kind of rushing me out.
Thanks!

| Look at the "Search this Group" function on this page. Type in Dr Gary
Kawesch. You'll get some info from both sides.

| You may find it better to have people respond to you via private email
than on a public bulletin board. Some folks may find it more
comfortable discussing a doctor one-on-one than broadcasting their
opinions.
While talking to an individual patient or two will help you understand
the process, it is a very poor way to determine the quality of the car
the doctor will provide or what you can expect as a result. Every eye
is different and thereby the results will be different too. You
wouldn't expect to try on another person's eye glasses and have then
work for you, equally you cannot totally rely on the experience of
another patient to predict what your experience may be.
I suggest you use our 50 Tough Questions For Your Doctor from our
website to evaluate Dr. Kawesch. You will also find there are two
doctors our orgaization has evaluated nearby. You may want to
consider one of them as well.
Regarding feeling rushed, doctor selection is very much a personal
matter. If you are bothered by the method and means of a doctor, you
may want to look elsewhere. I do NOT suggest you compromise quality
and experience because one doctor is busier than another, but you do
need to be comfortable with you selection of doctor and this part of
the process is important too.

| Not to be confused with his "defrocked" brother Glenn Kawesch.

| Yeah, I heard ol' Glenn is getting frocked regularly in the slammer.
Couldn't happen to a "nicer guy."
Speaking of nicer guys, apples from the same tree don't fall too far
from eachother. Gary is a high-volume provider, and I'm sure that's why
you felt rushed.
In the past, he had features on his website knocking other area doctors
(weird, seeing as how his brother is a felon in federal prison). One
has to ask why a doctor who is worth his salt would try to get business
by criticizing other doctors. It's like saying "we're all bad, I'm just
not as bad as these guys."
I emailed him on this and railed him. I'm sure many others, including
his brethren docs, did as well. I think he stopped his nonsense. It was
very, very unprofessional. I understand he is ignored at conferences.
Up there, Dr. Manche is the man to see. He is Opth chair at Stanford, I
believe.
