(sent by email to Dr. Boothe’s office)
For Dr. Boothe and his exceptional staff -
Thank you for everything that you have done to me.
I wore glasses for over twenty years and thought that it was my only option. While working on a trading desk for very long hours, I noticed that my vision significantly got worse. It is hard to sit the whole day in front of a monitor and the strain is overwhelming. Some of the people who work in my office had Lasik done and were feeling better.
As I did some research on Laser Eye Surgery, I was still skeptical of getting this procedure done. I was scared that it would be unsuccessful and would only hurt my eyes more. I live in Houston (Texas) and never thought I would travel to get this procedure done. After hearing a lot of good stories about Dr Boothe from friends who live around Dallas, I decided to visit his office and see whether I would feel comfortable to pick him to do the procedure.
After my first visit to Boothe Laser Center, I knew that I was in the right hands. Not only the staff, but the ambiance of the office was very welcoming and cozy. I was able to get the operation done
Thank you so much for everything! You changed my life!

Dear Dr. Boothe & his dedicated staff,
I thought that you would like to hear my story. I lived in New Jersey for many years and moved to Dallas, Texas almost three years ago. At the time, I met an amazing woman, Leona, who worked with me in an office downtown. I fell in love with her, but did not feel confident enough to ask her to date me, due to problems I have with my physical appearance. One of the major issues had to do with my eyeglasses. I have been wearing them for years, especially since I spend most of my time in front of a computer and contact lenses tend to irritate me over time.
I was thinking about doing a laser eye surgery for a long time, but was not approved as a candidate in 2003. I decided to go again and check whether technology improved and if I may be able to do the procedure with Dr. Boothe. I visited the Boothe Laser and Eye Center and was re-examined by the staff, which found out that the Intralasik technique can be used to solve my hyperopia (farsightedness). They explained to me the benefits of using Intralasik - unlike eariler technologies, a computer activates the laser and makes sure that the eye is mapped prior to surgery and maximizes accuracy.
When I saw the office and understood that I can do a Lasik surgery, I wanted to go ahead as soon as possible. I was operated by Dr. Boothe the same day, and he was calm and extremely professional. The results were very satisfying - after a few weeks, I got used to see without glasses. Everyone at work, including Leona, commented on how I look much better without glasses, and this encouraged me to change my hairstyle and even my wardrobe. I look quite different now, and it literally changed my life. I found the courage to ask Leona out, and she agreed and started dating with me. We have been together for a year and last week I proposed to her - SHE SAID YES - and we plan to gewt married in the summer. I want to thank you for the great care and be sure Dr. Boothe will be an honored guest in our wedding.
Best Regards,
Ely J.

Plano, Texas 75075
Dear William,
I wish you all the best - thank you for helping me to see again without eyeglasses! when I began considering lasik, I spoke with my mom and friends who all said that Dr. William Boothe is a brilliant surgeon and so it was a natural choice to come and do the procedure in your office. For me, the most important thing was to know that I’m in safe hands, that the doctor saw a lot of similar cases (my left eye -6.00 prescription, and the right one had -5.5) and knows how to treat my condition. I felt reassured when I saw the office and spoke with different people including Dr. Boothe who examined my eyes, devised a solution, and had the patience to explain the different stages of the operation, and what to expect, in terms of my eyesight after doing the lasik. Everyone was willing to answer all of my questions, making me feel comfortable to even ask about simple stuff that I would not ask otherwise, such as whether I can wash my eyes with water or something else in the days after surgery.
I felt that you all cared about me and wanted this to be as pleasant as possible. I was a bit anxious before the surgery, maybe because I thought it would hurt me or maybe just the thought of having a surgery on my eyes! Fortunately, Dr. William Boothe knew how to come me down and as we went thought the process (there is only a local anesthesia, so I was conscious all along) he was telling me what to expect and how long each laser would take. The surgical part was done in a few minutes.
I stayed in the office for a couple of hours before I was released home. Dr. Boothe asked me to come back for a follow up appointment which went great. I now have almost perfect vision, and I keep asking myself - why did not I do it earlier? I hope that you share my story with other people who think of doing lasik - go for it!
Happy holidays to you, the Boothe Laser Center staff & your family,
Yours,
Diana I.

The following note was received in an overseas envelope addressed to the Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center in Plano, Texas:
“To the great medical team at Boothe Laser Center -
As I promised, I’m sending you an update on my condition. It’s been six months since I was operated at the center and my eyesight is better than ever! I decided to fly to the U.S. after a cornea specialist in Belgium advised me to find a surgeon who specializes in Intralase technology.
I read about Dr. Boothe’s vast experience with the technique and came to Texas to have the procedure done on my eyes. I really enjoyed my stay there and the friendly welcome I received from the center’s caring staff. You made this trip very enjoyable and I was pleased to find it cost-effective, combining a vacation and a surgery and paying less than what it would cost me to do it in Europe.
I told all of my friends about the Boothe Laser Center and wish you all the best.
Hugs & kisses,
Florence (Brussels)”

Hi Dr. Boothe,
I hope you remember me… I’m a junior at SMU and was treated by you a month and a half ago. I came to the Boothe Eye Care and Laser Center after hearing about it from my friend, who had astigmatism problems and was operated by you. She highly recommended you and said that you are very professional and that the office staff was really nice. My short-sightedness became a real issue in the last couple of years, as I was struggling with some of the daily routines of being a student. As you explained to me, the medical term for my condition is myopia, and it can be treated by Lasik surgery. I felt relieved to know that I won’t need to show up any longer to class with eyeglasses to be able to read what professors write on the board or to identify my classmates when they come into the classroom, for example.
I admit that I was afraid prior to the surgery, but my friend told me not to worry and you also helped by showing me what you are going to do and giving me the feeling that you did many other cases before and have the knowledge to help me with my condition. The procedure went smoothly, I felt some kind of intense pressure on each of the eyes, but this lasted for seconds each time.
I guess that going to school without glasses (contact lenses irritate my eyes) was the biggest change I felt so far. I’m so pleased with my new eyes. Thank you so much Dr. Boothe!
Yours Sincerely,
M. G.

Dear Dr. Boothe,
I wanted to express my deepest feelings of gratitude, following the successful Lasik surgery you performed on both of my eyes. I’m a semi-pro basketball player, and since I started to observe a decline in my eyesight about 9 months ago, I was using special set of eyeglasses while playing, and contact lenses during the rest of the day.
I saw your ads on TV and how you helped many other athletes, and began to research and find out more information about laser eye surgery. I decided to do the surgery with you, since your office staff was very informative and friendly, and you have more experience than any other surgeon in town.
My wife came with me to your office on the day of the surgery. You told us what to expect and how this will be done, and I was surprised by the ease and the swiftness of the operation. An hour later, while resting in your office, I was already seeing much better, on my own. You made a big difference in my life, and I am very happy with the result.
During the last check up we determined my eyesight to be 20/20, which is more than I expected. I now play basketball as usual, and my shots are more accurate than ever!
Thank you for everything,
Sincerely,
Joey T.

Plano, TX 75075
This letter is written as an expression of my sincerest gratitude for
helping me see better than ever! I am truly amazed at the outcome - my
vision is now 20/15.
I can honestly tell you, there is not one person more skeptical about
surgery than me. I researched everything I could find about the LASIK
procedure. After meeting with you I felt a strong sense of security
and belief in your skills as a surgeon. There was no question that you
were the right person to preform surgery on my eyes. Anyone
considering LASIK should meet with you first.
They will be as confident as I am that you are the only surgeon for them.
I would also like to acknowledge your staff, with special recognition
to to Nick Shoffner and Darrin Vick. They were always available for me
and answered all my questions. Your entire staff should be commended
for their courtesy and professionalism.
Thank you for my beautiful seeing eyes!
Sincerely,
Victoria S. Gossett

Dr Boothe,
Michelle and I wanted to say thanks for taking great care of her eyes. Her vision is unbelievable. As an ER Nurse, Michelle has to be able to rely on her eyes in critical circumstances. After having LASIK she is completely confident in her vision.
When we were initially looking for an eye doctor to consult with us about the procedure, your name was the one that we kept hearing - and I am glad we did. You and your staff made us both feel so comfortable about her surgery. We asked a million questions, and you and your staff answered every one.
I hope you will post this letter as a complete endorsement of the Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center.
Thanks Doc!

They say, “Practice makes perfect!”
Naturally, most people when they contemplate the idea of having a surgical procedure done, involving their eyes, are uneasy and have many questions and/or concerns. Let me tell you that when I considered the idea of having laser vision correction, it was necessary that I would only trust my eyes to the hands of a proven and experienced doctor.
Well, in talking with friends of mine who had the procedure done, I learned that Dr. Boothe was one of the most experienced doctors in laser vision correction. Each person I talked to also indicated they had a pleasant experience and positive results. It seemed as though Dr. Boothe was the man for the job and I am glad I chose him.
From my personal experience, I can say that before the operation even began, I was well informed of what the procedure involved and had answers to any questions I had at that time. During the day of the operation, everything went smoothly with no pain at all, and just a little bit of pressure. The follow-up appointments were comforting, because I knew that my eyes were further being closely monitored after the operation to ensure success. Overall, I was impressed with the level of care and meticulous detail, which also included visiting with Dr. Boothe personally on multiple occasions. Throughout the whole process, everything seemed so systematic and orderly. Additionally, there were many personable assistants who aided in the process.
I walked in legally blind, without the aid of contacts or glasses, and left with 20/15 perfect vision.
Certainly, when it comes to Dr. Boothe, I am convinced that practice does indeed make perfect!

Dr William A. Boothe
Boothe Eye Care and Laser Center
Dr. Boothe,
It has now been over a year since my lasik surgery at Boothe Eye Care and Laser Center. Not a day goes by that I don’t feel grateful for the miracle that that you and your astounding staff performed.
To be able to see clearly without contacts or glasses is something I never thought I would be able to do. Now, over a year later, I’m still enjoying nearly perfect vision.
To anyone who reads this who is considering whether to have lasik at Boothe, take my word for it: Do it. You won’t regret it. I waited more than a year after my surgery to write this letter because I wanted to make sure that the restoration of my sight wasn’t a fleeting miracle before I recommended the procedure to others. I can now give it my wholehearted endorsement.
Thanks again, Dr. Boothe!
Best wishes,

The Ticket SPORTSRADIO 1310/1700
Dear Dr. Boothe;
Thank you for making my Lasik Surgery a pleasant and pain free experience. You and your staff were professional, efficient and comforting throughout the entire process.
As the Program Director of Sportsradio 1310 the Ticket I spend about twelve to fourteen hours a day at the office attempting to keep all the crazy talk show hosts in line. During those many work hours I use a computer that would cause my contacts to dry up and irritate my eyes. Since having the Lasik Surgery at Boothe Eye Care and Laser Center I no longer have to worry about that daily irritation, itchiness and discomfort. The Lasik surgery really has improved my life.
Thank you for explaining the process and for being clear on the expectations. Your patience in answering all of my questions and addressing all of my concerns put me at great ease. The procedure itself was quick and totally pain free. In addition, I experienced very little post-operative discomfort. Best of all, I was 20-15 the day after my surgery.
I greatly appreciate your service, professionalism and expertise and I will gladly recommend you to all my friends and business associates who could benefit from the Lasik surgery.
Sincerely;
Bruce Gilbert
Director of AM Programming

Before LASIK I worried about my eyes and really felt like my vision was steadily worsening. I wondered how bad it could get if it continued. This is not to say my vision can never change now that I’ve had LASIK, but it has been steady at 20/20 for almost 4 years now and the steady decline no longer seems to be a concern.
I had nearly constant discomfort from contacts. They didn’t hurt, but after a few hours they seemed to dry out and I had to yawn or use drops to keep them moist. It was hard to see through dry contacts. I’m happy to be free of that, plus the dents in the bridge of my nose that the glasses caused. 
Even with glasses and contacts, I wasn’t 20/20. I was especially inhibited while driving. It was hard for me to see road signs until I was right up on them and sometimes even then I had to squint. Now I can see them from a distance. And the trees and the tops of the buildings on the side of the road are well-defined. It makes the drive to work a whole lot prettier.
Since LASIK I’m 20/20???��?� better than I ever was with glasses or contacts. I could never have achieved this degree of clarity without LASIK. It has given me renewed quality of life: waking up in the morning and being able to see immediately without having to fumble around for glasses, eliminating the step of having to put contacts in while I’m putting on makeup and fixing my hair, and being able to exercise without worrying about sweat getting into my contacts or glasses slipping down my nose. All of these frustrations are gone. LASIK is freedom to me!
Many thanks to Dr. Boothe,
Jen

Dr. Boothe how I can’t thank you enough for making a difference in my life. I had glasses and contacts since I was 13 years old. Now I can live my life without ever worrying if I am almost out of my contacts or losing my glasses.
Before I could not drive at night, and during the day when I did drive, I still could not read all the road signs, even with my contacts on. Now I cannot believe how perfectly clear the road signs are and how well I can see at night. Most of all, my headaches are gone. Jose and I can enjoy more sport activities together now, plus he does not have to drive me at night anymore for simple errands.
I will say that Jose and I interviewed other doctors for my lasik surgery and you were the most impressive in this area of expertise. With all the time you and your staff take with each patient and all the latest laser technology that is offered today, Jose and I were impressed with your professional demeanor. Other doctors bombarded us with other types of treatments such as botox, eyelid surgery etc. which was not what I was looking for.
I had total confidence in you and your staff knowing you specialize in lasik surgery and lasik eye surgery only. This made all the difference to me… I wanted a doctor who really cared about my eyesight, not selling me other surgery that had nothing to do with my visit.
Thank you so very much for making it possible in giving me the corrected and perfect vision I never thought possible. Jose and I will always be grateful to you and your staff.
Sincerely,
Jose and Monika Guzman
