Lawrence S. Frank, M.D.

I visited Dr. Frank last October for cataract removal. Although the staff was very pleasant, Frank seemed unhelpful and dogmatic, perhaps because of his military background. Although I had already decided to keep looking, Frank made it easy by refusing to do the surgery. He said that I was expecting too much and the results would not be adequate. I had the surgery done at the Shady Grove Ophthalmology Center a couple of weeks ago and currently enjoy ²⁰⁄₂₀ vision with full color and brightness in my eye.

I had great recommendations on Dr Frank. Sadly even though I had symptoms of serious concern this office sent me away.

I can’t recall ever having had such a good experience at a doctor’s office visit. First I was given a series of vision tests by three different associates or technicians (not sure what’s the right term), and each was personable, informative, helpful, and pleasant. Dr. Frank himself was even more so! I won’t have need to return for a while, but if and when I do, I know I’ll be in for a realllly good experience. I highly recommend this practice!!!

Dr. Frank is obviously very experienced. The other doctor in the practice (can’t remember her name) was also pretty good. However, it’s a bit pricey for me since they stopped taking my insurance.

Dr. Frank is great! I’ve been going to him for years. Back in the day, I had glasses and contacts. I had REALLY itchy eyes so he popped in these plugs which block the eye’s drain ducts. It helped more than anything in the past but I still had insanely itchy eyes when I had my contacts in. Sooooo, I decided to get custom lasik eye surgery and what do you know… Dr. Frank is an ophthalmologist and has done thousands or lasik surgeries so I got my lasik done with him as well. It felt like my eye’s were on fire after the surgery but the surgery was soooo cool and I was amazed that after literally 5 minutes, I could read the hands of the clock on the wall that I couldn’t read 5 minutes before. To this day, I still say it was the best $ 4−5k I’ve EVER spent. My eyes are no longer dry and itchy from contacts and when I wake up and open my eyes I see a whole different world.
I still go to Dr. Frank for yearly checkups and I’m still ²⁰⁄₂₀ in one eye and better than ²⁰⁄₂₀ in the other. It’s been about 9 years now. Oh yeah, and Dr. Frank’s a really nice guy, considerate, speaks the truth, and you can rely on him for an accurate diagnosis… and he kind of looks like Dr. Drew from TV. Just thought I’d throw that in there but I THINK he’s taken… sorry ladies. DAMN I’m happy with this place!
