There are a significant number of one week PO cataract surgery exams on his schedule that should be scheduled with Dr. Straut.
Dr. Straut can see all patients for their one week PO cataract surgery appointment, except:
- Those patients that Dr. Darlington specifically requests to examine personally;
- Patients referred by outside Optometrists;
- Patients referred by Dr. Michael Mandese – they should see Dr. Mandese for their one week PO visit, unless he is out of the office for the week;
- Patients who have had a multifocal or accommodate lens implant (ReStor, Tecnis Multifocal, Crystalens, or Trulign).
Patients who have had toric IOLs can be placed on Dr. Straut’s schedule, unless they were Optometric referrals.
(One week exams on patients referred by outside Doctors’ of Optometry typically see that doctor, but this refers to cases in which Dr. Darlington wants the patient seen here one additional time prior to the return to their family eye doctor).
If a patient refuses to see Dr. Straut for their one week PO appointment for any reason, email the particulars to the CEO, cc’ing Dr. Darlington, Scheduling Supervisor, Clinic Leads.
For clarification:
Cat, Cat/istent, YLC can be seen postop by our OD or referring OD.
Glaucoma, Cornea, Lid will need to see Dr. Darlington postop.
