Has anyone heard anything about Dr. Gary Kawesch at the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley? I'm scheduled for LASIK surgery with him in a couple of weeks.

Hi Erin,
I read your post. Did you do your lasik with Dr. Kawesch? I am scheduled to do Lasik next month with Dr. Kawesch. Do you recommend Dr K lasik? I would appreciate any information on the Doctor. Thank you for your help!

The Kawesch name is associated with some troubling circumstances, but do not confuse the two brothers. Glenn Kawesch was a San Diego refractive surgeon who ran into difficulties and no longer practices. Gary Kawesch practices in Silicon valley and has no professional affiliation with his brother.

I suggest you use our 50 Tough Questions For Your Doctor at http://www.usaeyes.org/faq/tough_questions.htm to evaluate a potential doctor.

I am not a doctor.

Thanks Glen for the info. I went to check G. Kawesch office, he have alot of sport player clients, looks very professional. I will check out the link.

My regular eye doctor is affiliated with the Turner Eye Institute, ran by a surgeon named MD Stephen G. Turner. Heard the name on radio commercial, but when I search online, I can’t find a THING about him. Not even a photo of his bio on his website. Not sure if he’s just an old-school guy or what..

I read a lot about Dr. Gawaesh online..

Here is a photo and bio of Dr. Turner.
