Dr. Franz Michel, MD

I had a Pterygium identified on my right eye for 3 years. I live in another state. Dr Michel had a telephone appt with me and explained everything and we decided I was a good candidate for removal of the Pterygium. The day of the surgery was so calm and pleasant. The actual surgery was easy. I was awake and felt no pain or discomfort. My feeling was that it went perfectly as planned with no surprises. Even though living far away, it was worth the trip for me. Dr Michel has many patients traveling distance so they dealt with my situation perfectly and were totally accommodating. Dr Franz Michel is the real deal with the best bedside manner. He really is The King of Pterygiums. The women who run his office are also all absolute professionals. I can’t thank them all enough.

Dr. Michel removed a pterigium from my left eye. I was understandably concerned about possible negative impacts on my vision from the surgery, but the operation was a complete success and the irritation that had been increasing for several months is gone. Also, the pterigium had begun to deform my cornea, which was affecting my vision in that eye, and that has been reversed. From my first exam to my final exam, Dr. Michel provided outstanding service as did all of his staff. They were incredibly efficient and welcoming from the beginning and answered all of my questions. Dr. Michel performed the operation, as well as the follow-up treatments that were needed to ensure my eye healed completely, with skill and assurance. He has a calm professional demeanor that I found extremely reassuring. I am completely satisfied with the results of Dr. Michel's treatment and I recommend him without any reservations whatsoever for this type of eye surgery.
