Reviews of Dr. Robert R. Francis, MD (Ophthalmologist)

In December of 2013, Dr. Francis gave me the best eyesight I've ever had after performing vitrectomy/cataract surgery. Years later (2019) I still send him my silent thanks every day. Though old age is accelerating the decline everywhere else in my body, my eyes are still working just fine!

Dr. Francis and his team saved my vision a few years back from a horrible retinal detachment. I am very happy with his work and he is a very reassuring person who will take away your fears of most any eye issue and will tell you calmly anything that needs to be done. He was very calm in how he told me that he would take care of it and when i was close to tears, he comforted me telling me with a almost happy voice that the chances were in the 90's on up of success. They worked quickly and efficiently and got me up and running within a few days. I fully recommend him for diagnosis of your eyes. With the Lords blessing it went even better then anyone would have thought and my retinas are as strong as ever. Thank you Dr. Francis I am happy to have you as my doctor. And thank you for that new eye lens.

I will never go back. The end result of cataract surgery was bad, with wrong lens (lenses, actually), which now cannot be corrected, ever. Sloppy. What's bad is that it was totally preventable, if he had taken time beforehand to have a conversation and discuss the issues and trade-offs--instead of two minutes while I'm on the gurney. Generally, their office is like an assembly line. This was true for me for two retina surgeries as well. You find out after the fact what the ramifications are of choices you hardly know you are making. You better know what to ask before you have any surgery. I'd give it zero stars if it let me.

A year ago, I had very little vision left. With cataracts, vitreous detachments, and prior retina surgery, I was only able to see a few inches without glasses. Initially I needed cataract surgery but because of my retinal issues (detachments, lattice degeneration, and prior laser treatment) I was a high risk patient. I searched the internet for retinal surgeons who specialized in cataracts, which brought me to Dr. Francis. After a thorough examination, he suggested that in addition to the lens replacements I might consider an additional procedure (vitrectomy) which would reduce my chance of future detachments and clear the large brown hazy patches that impeded my vision. After a 2nd opinion to confirm this was appropriate and safe, I had the surgery. It has been a year since the surgery and I am thrilled! My vision is almost 20/20 now, even in the eye with a prior detachment that, before the surgery, could only be corrected to 20/50 vision. I no longer wear glasses or contact lens, my eyes no longer feel strained or uncomfortable, and I've never had better vision. He is a calm, skilled surgeon who explained things carefully and with as much detail as I needed. He never rushed me and was very respectful and caring. Every morning when I open my eyes, I am thankful that I found Dr. Francis and grateful for what he was able to do to save my sight.
