Hey, this Keri Noble coming to you from Whiting Clinic and I am excited to have my first appointment,
my preliminary exam and conversation about whether or not I'm a good candidate to have
LASIK surgery on my eyes. I'm a little nervous because I hear there
is lasers and eyeballs involved. Anybody would be nervous, but let's just see what happens.
OK, so follow me. We are just going to really give you a behind the scenes of what is really
going to go down. Here we go.
Welcome to Whiting Clinic, my name is Martha. Here we have our welcome packets, go ahead
and choose a color. In here, you will find all the information about your visit today.
If you want to have a seat and look through that, someone will be with you shortly.
OK, thank you. Well, I'm here at Whiting Clinic. I'm in the waiting room. I don't feel like
I'm at a doctor's office. I don't feel like I'm at a doctor's office. This feels like
I'm kind of chilling, like just hanging out. OK, the reality is, I just sat back down,
I got my coffee. I got my pamphlet, but the anticipation is killing me. I need to know
now, what is happening behind the scenes at this place, so before someone comes and stops
me, let's go and do a little snooping. There is an Ipad, there is this video on the
procedure and there is chocolate. I hope nobody comes in, but I'm just going to watch a little
bit on LASIK surgery. I feel like a lot of my questions have actually been answered.
This is really fun. Oh... Hey Keri, are you ready. Do you want to come
on back we'll get get you. You know what, I may have had a few of your
candies. I hope that's OK. We've got plenty.
OK Guys listen, this is where I'm sure it gets
really scary because I'm going into an actual doctors office room. I'm pretty sure they
are going to put some stuff on my eyes, open them up, dysect them, cut them, put them back,
I don't know what is going to happen. I will let you know in a second. If you don't hear
from me, mom I love you. OK... Ahhh, that was no big deal. That was like
an actual eye exam. I don't know what I was so afraid about. I'm kind of leaning towards
doing this. I can kind of tell that you are a little nervous.
A little nervous. That is normal, but I think Dr. Whiting has
some time in his schedule. I think he is in the laser room.
OK, that would be great. This is Dr. Whiting.
Nice to meet you. How long does the actual process once I'm
in here and we get cracking. The whole procedure in here is probably about
10 or 12 minutes. It's very quick. The laser time for a prescription like yours is going
to be about 20-25 seconds. It is just clear that you are a perfect candidate. You should
end up with 20/20 vision. We want you to feel secure. We want you to feel safe and in an
environment that we are going to take every effort to take every measure to make sure
that everything is done perfectly. I just heard Dr. Whiting tell me that it's
quick and it's painless. I got to be honest. That is what I want to hear. I think I'm sold.
Let's do this. I came I saw and I kind of feel like I conquered.
I got a lot of information and it all felt really good. It's fast. It's painless. I'm
going to do it. I'm going to get LASIK surgery, right here at Whiting Clinic, so I'll let
you know how it goes.
