Dr. Macaluso appeared well informed, and knowledgeable of his field. In exploring LASIK/PRK options, I (in hindsight) would have appreciated further discussion around drawbacks and/or troubles that folks have post-LASIK/PRK, especially seeing as how it is an elective procedure. In June 2018, the New York Times reported a story ("Blurred Vision, Burning Eyes: This Is a LASIK Success?') around post-LASIK/PRK consequences. Some doctors were found to be shielding patients from significantly likelier negative consequences of an elective procedure than were widely advertised. I feel overall positive about my experience at Asheville Eye, but I do think sharing all sides of the story/experiences, would be a confident move if one is sure of their service offered.

I have a lifelong history of high myopia. After a retinal detachment repair in 2013, I asked Dr. Mac to replace a subsequent cataract in 2014. The surgical outcome was 20/20, and I no longer need a corrective lens in that eye. After 5 years, my other eye needs the same procedure, and I am happy to have Dr. Macaluso perform this as well. Highest recommendation from a fellow MD and surgeon.
“Highest recommendation. Excellent physician appointments, and surgical results were 20/20.”

Dr. Macaluso performed cataract surgery on one of my eyes. Appreciated his pleasant "bedside manner" - he is very down-to-earth, not at all condescending or pompous as so many physicians can be. I felt comfortable with him right away and would recommend him to anyone.

A totally outstanding experience with Dr. Mac. From the moment he entered the examining room and assured me that that my cataract procedure would be easy, I felt assured about his abilities. His explanations of what to expect made me very comfortable and at ease. After that, everything went exactly as he had explained. Now, 2 months after the procedure, the most important thing is that I am experiencing the best eyesight that I've had in years. Outstanding clarity and crispness.Now it's all HD!
“Best it could have been. Cataracts gone. Clarity and Sharpness back.”
