He always give you less time, and he is not friendly Doctor.

I will NEVER go back to his office again! That he always introduced himself and shook my hand, even if I'd been at his office 2 weeks earlier, should have given me a clue.... After 2 cataract surgeries and then follow-up surgeries to fix the original surgeries, I didn't want to go back to him and asked if there was someone else in the same office, with access to my records, who could help me as vision in my right eye was rapidly deteriorating. The receptionist said it really would be best to go back to the same doctor. Against my husband's advice, I went back to Dr. Meyer. He said I was a rarity and that the cataract had grown back and that another laser surgery was called for. The operation, at the West Seattle clinic, seemed to go okay except that the laser was zapping when my eye blinked closed. The next day my eye hurt and I called for an appointment. On the 3rd day after surgery, I saw Dr. Meyer and told him that my eye was (still) hurting. He said vehemently, "No it's not! Something else must be going on but your eye is not hurting!" He told me that it was the rosacea making my eye hurt. When I told the doctor that I did not have rosacea in my eyes, he argued with me and triumphantly pointed to my chart, where "rosacea" was written. I tried to explain that I had facial rosacea for about 30 years but did not have it in my eyes but he refused to listen. I gently said that he must have been having a tough day and he lashed out at me again. He said that his day was fine and that HE, at least, always took his patients, even when they were late. I told him I arrived at his office exactly on time and Dr. Meyer then told me that I had been eleven minutes late. He turned on his heel and left me sitting in wonderment. My eye, by the way, finally quit hurting 5 days after surgery. I now go to a very nice ophthalmologist in Seattle, Dr. Grady Hughes, recommended by a friend who told me that 5 people in her family stopped going to Dr. Meyer for reasons similar to mine and that they all LOVE Dr. Hughes. I do too -- and he said that I do not have ocular rosacea. (That was not a surprise, by the way.)
