Hindsight,

If a foot doctor did Rag's eyes, I wonder what kind of doctor did
yours.

Actually.. the LVI surgeon was a replacement for the surgeon I was
scheduled to have. The replacement surgeon just got his license to
practice back 2 months before .. and has since lost it again.
There is a local surgeon who spent his life as a coroner, and was
brienfly doing LASIK before he was forced to stop due to his
incompetence.
I didn't have my surgery done at LVI. I was laying under the laser..
but escaped.

This isn't a LASIK issue in particular, but one that covers all
surgery. I would like comments on it.

A doctor's office employs 4 surgeons. Only one of them has any
credentials posted on the walls and has his name on the business cards
of the office. The other 3 are just referred to verbally, and no
first names are given, and those doctors' names appear nowhere other
than on documents in which their signatures are not legible. This
makes it impossible to know who that surgeon really is and no way to
look up their background.

Furthermore, none of the surgeons are board certified in the field
that they are practicing. For instance, lets say that this was an eye
care practice... and the surgeons are said to be board certified...
but they are board certified for podiatry (foot surgeon) instead of
ophthalmology. That seems misleading and unethical to me.
