We have some "SUPER" talented and creative team members. Check out the winners of our costume/pumpkin contests!

To celebrate Halloween, Cornea Associates of Texas was staffed with Superheroes (Our team is full of Superheroes every day, they just came dressed a little differently today)!

Hello Cornea Associates of Texas,

I went to another Ophthalmologist yesterday (10-JUN-2020) to see if he can fix the mess that Gregory Nettune made of my right eye.

SUMMARY:
Dr. Gregory R. Nettune, MD was negligent due to:
(a) Gregory Nettune removed the stitches too early;
(b) Gregory Nettune allowed right eye to leak fluid for 40 days (17JUL2019 to 27AUG2019); Gregory Nettune refused an earlier appointment when eye was leaking, and allowed the right eye to leak for 40 days before adding back stitches; it also allowed the pressure to fall to 7 mmHg (normal is 12 to 22 mmHg);
(c) Gregory Nettune added back stitches (at my expense), which severely warped the cornea (see images below);
Because of the negligent mistakes above, it resulted in now being legally blind in my right eye (worse than 20/200; very blurry and cloudy; see images below); and I also still have stitches in right eye;

I’m sure Gregory Nettune has helped many patients, but not in my case. When Gregory Nettune was confronted about allowing the right eye to leak for a month, he claimed no responsibility for it whatsoever. Also, had I not insisted on an appointment earlier than 90 days (but was only allowed an appointment in 34 days), the outcome could have been far worse.

CHRONOLOGY:
04-OCT-2018: Dr. Gregory R. Nettune, MD performed cornea transplant (said 18 stitches would remain in right eye for 1 year).
17-APR-2019: Nettune removed 10 stitches (6 months earlier than expected). Vision worsened.
17-JUL-2019: Nettune removed last 8 stitches (3 months early). Vision worsened, the cornea came loose, eye leaked, & caused light flashes (for a total of 40 days), despite calling Dr. Nettune's office about the symptoms on 25-JUL-2019 (reported excessive fluid in eye and light flashes);
25-JUL-2019: I called Nettune's office & reported symptoms mentioned above. They said "don't worry". I still requested an appointment anyway, but was told that the soonest appointment was on 21-AUG (34 days after last 8 stitches removed);
21-AUG-2019: Nettune said cornea was loose. Eye pressure had fallen to 7mmHg (normal=12 to 22).
27-AUG-2019: Nettune performed 2nd surgery (added back 3 stitches). Eye had been leaking for 40 days. Vision worsened. Failure to address leaking sooner risked infection, complications, and I am now legally blind in right eye (very cloudy, blurry, and legally blind). I also had to pay for the 2nd surgery;
17-OCT-2019: vision is worse than the beginning before 04-OCT-2018; Hundreds of dollars spent on new glasses & contacts don't help; I cannot read anything with right eye, and I still have 3 stitches in my right eye.
11-JUN-2020: Right eye is still leaking, pressure has fallen to 11 mmHg, and is now in early stage of rejection (despite using 1 drop of Prednisolone each day as instructed); I am now legally blind in Right eye due to rejection;

It is such a privilege to work with this amazing group of physicians! Beyond thankful and blessed to be a part of such an amazing network of medical professionals that truly care about their patients and their well being and health!

I’ve called 4 times and left messages and never got a response to schedule an appt. I was recommended also by a patient of theirs.

Update to my previous post below. Practice manager, Jennifer Fleming and my surgeon, Dr Zaffos are working diligently to address my issues and to correct the organizational issues with problem escalation. I feel confident that the issues I encountered are beling corrected and that this organization is very concerned about patient care.

My cataract surgeries appeared to be going well, then disaster. I can only see out of the bottom of the lenses. Looking up causes double vision with objects stacked one above the other. This is causing headaches, nausea, disorientation, and disrupting my ability to work.
I have not been able to get any help from this organization. As far as I can tell my surgeon, Dr Zaffos, has not even been informed. When I was finally sent to an associate, Dr Nettune, he began by asking what Zaffos had to say. I have no idea because I can't seem to talk to him. Then Nettune, with obvious irritation, said he doesn't know me, he has no idea why my eyes are doing this but it appears my eyes are 'out of alignment' so I need to see a specialist in strabismus because he doesn't have the tools to assess the alignment. His only referral can't see me for 4 weeks, which he said was fine, then he had them set an appointment with Zaffos in a week. Meanwhile, good luck? I am appalled at the lack of concern about how debilitating this is for my life.
God help you if anything goes wrong with this group. They are geared to fill surgeries, not follow up on problems.

After 31 years on my drivers license, restriction code A is finally removed. Thank you Dr McCall and Cornea Assoc team!

Dr Boman performed my LASIK surgery and it was a success! The staff was wonderful and my experience was great. I recommend them for LASIK surgery.

It's been over a year since I had my LASIK at CAT and I can't tell you how happy I am with it! I'm able to do so much more without the frustration of glasses and contacts. Spending time at the pool, on the lake and at the beach this summer has been the best feeling in the world! I only wish I would've done it sooner!! Thank you again!

Today is my 1 year anniversary of my cataract surgery. Thank you Dr. Beebe and staff for a great year of wonderful, clear eye sight!

This is specifically for Dr. McCall and staff...I can see! Awesome clear lens this morning. Nice to see things once again sharp and clear. Many thanks! Vicky Herr`

I had my second and last cataract removed today ( I decided my third eye had already had clear enough vision, at least on a transcendental level). So, in the last two weeks here is my assessment of this ocular journey:
PROS:
* I went from 20/400 uncorrected vision to 20/30 uncorrected vision.
* I will be able to drive at night and see separate, individual tail lights.
*No more of those pesky clip-on sun glasses! I have already bought several pairs of 'for-real' shades.
*Now when I go to the beach (because I go to the beach so often you know) and get into the water I'll still be able to gaze at the sweet things cavorting in the water without just seeing blurry human apparitions (and hopefully not get accused of sexual gazing).
CONS:
* I have been near-sighted all my life (wearing glasses since 1st grade), now I am far-sighted...gonna take some getting used to.
* I can drive and do other things farther than three feet away, but for closer work and reading I'll need glasses. I could have opted for the high dollar replacement lenses, but I'm cheap and figure reading glasses is no biggy.
* Having reading glasses at arm's reach when you need them is a habit that will take a while to get used to.

I wish to thank the professional staff at the Texas Eye Institute of Texas for helping me keep calm and not letting me run out of the pre-op room screaming like a little girl. And of course Dr. Jamie Alexander at Cornea Associates of Texas (and her very friendly surgical staff) for her excellent surgical skills and helping me through this somewhat anxious time! And my better half Debbie for toting me around here and there during this process!!
