Choosing the Right San Francisco Lasik Surgeon

There is a wealth of LASIK providers in the City proper and in the adjacent communities. Finding a San Francisco laser vision correction surgeon with whom you're comfortable, however, is not always easy. You simply don't have time to meet with every possible prospect. So how do you find a LASIK eye doctor who you can trust?

You can start with our CPR framework, which focuses on the Credentials, treatment Protocols, and Regulation practices of your LASIK doctor. While it's not intended to be a comprehensive framework to qualify your LASIK eye surgeon, CPR could help you better organize your approach to sorting through the San Francisco laser eye surgeons that use LASIK:

• Credentials represent the education and experience of your LASIK doctor. Evaluating the San Francisco LASIK doctors that perform laser eye surgery on the basis of his credentials is a time-tested approach to stratifying the intellectual powers of a group of doctors or specialists.

• Protocols represent the design and implementation of the patient care process your San Francisco LASIK surgeon follows. You might think treatment protocols would be fairly consistent from one LASIK eye surgeon to another. But this is far from the case: of all the CPR factors, protocols are likely to be a major differentiating factor among LASIK surgeons.

• The last CPR criterion, Regulation, represents the degree of control your LASIK doctor exercises over the patient care environment, from processes to people to equipment. It's like the master chef who controls all elements of your food preparation and presentation — the ultimate in artistic and quality control. As we'll see, in the case of your San Francisco LASIK surgeon, he may control all, some, or none of the patient care environment.

By using the CPR approach, you'll be better organized to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your LASIK doctor, so you can make a more informed decision.
