Selecting an eye care professional is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. Eric J. Rothchild, MD., is a board certified ophthalmologist who specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of eye diseases. He has special interest in laser eye surgery, corneal and refractive surgery, and advanced cataract surgery.

- Is the surgeon a Corneal Specialist?
- How long has the surgeon been performing refractive surgery and how many cases
have they personally performed?
- How many national and international courses has the surgeon taught specifically for refractive surgery?
- Has the surgeon had the procedure done and/or performed the procedure on any of their own family members?”
- How genuinely concerned did the surgeon and their staff seem about you as a
person vs. just doing the procedure?
- Is the surgeon using the latest custom laser equipment?
- Will the surgery be performed in a fully accredited and Medicare approved
ambulatory surgical center in a completely sterile environment?
- Did the surgeon personally meet with you personally during your initial consultation?
- Did the surgeon or their staff offer to have you contact former patients without you having to ask?
- Did the surgeon give you a reasonable expectation for a surgical outcome vs.
promising you’ll never need glasses again?
