My dad went to John Davidson of Lynn Eye Specialists for what was expected to be a simple cataract surgery in June 2022, and woke up on August 2, 2022 not being able to see anything in his right eye. He made an emergency appointment with Dr Davidson and was informed that he had a detached retina. To date, my dad has attempted to make a follow up appointment with Dr Davidson to understand what went wrong in the surgery, and has repeatedly been refused an appointment. This doctor is dangerous and is not accountable for his actions. I recommend you look elsewhere so you can avoid the trauma that my dad has been through for over the past year.

Last June I contacted Dr. Davidson for a second opinion as I was having blurry vision one month after cataract surgery done by another well-known Health Care Facility. Dr. Davidson examined my eyes thoroughly and scanned both my eyes. After his examination, I was informed that I was misdiagnosed by my surgeon. Once I provided Dr. Davidson’s 2nd opinion to my ophthalmology dept, they started giving me different eye drops to cure the retina eye issue I was having. Three months later I started having 20/40 vision on both eyes. Thanks to Dr. Davidson, as now I can see with both my eyes clearly. Dr. Davidson was very knowledgeable, kind and professional. His team was also very professional, helpful and courteous. I would recommend his service to anyone who has vision issues related to eye surgeries.

My instinct when I read about the doctor, Dr. Davidson, in this office was not good. When a doctor says submit your questions in writing, I think that is a red flag. Why not reassure your patients in person? Well, I will tell you. Dr. Davidson has a horrible bedside manner. I teared up because my cataract operation was not successful. .And he started yelling at me until I burst into sobbing tears. They inserted a torc lens which did not improve my vision. Then he wanted me to pay another $4,000. for the other eye and he would make the two eyes work and see together and no guarantee (so I could be out $8000.) This was not what I wanted. I wanted one eye for near and one eye for far. He agreed to fix the problem when my husband was with me but then gave me a scenario (which was probably easier for him) when I went to the office alone. Oh, and prior to the cataract removal, Dr. Davidson questioned me as to why I did not have the covid vaccine. I told him that I was allergic to one of the ingredients. ( I have done tons of research on the vaccines because of my allergies). He goes to his office and returns with his computer with something that says there are no allergy reactions from the vaccine. He knows nothing about my history with allergies and the research I have done. He treats me with such disrespect for my intelligence and my awareness to my condition with vaccines of all kinds. Another red flag...trust your instincts and run when it feels wrong to you. One of his assistants actually admitted that he doesn't deal with emotions very well. If you take your husband with you, he will treat you better, but why subject yourself to this abuse. The whole office reflects this man's attitude best illustrated by the following: 1. After spending all this money, ($4,000 which was wasted because there is no guarantee) they actually made me pay $1.00 for a mask to wear in the office. 2 .The front office asked me to fill out the same forms several times and then argued with me when I said I had filled them out. 3. The wait time averaged about an hour after my appointed time. The explanation I was given was that if a person was late, they tried to accommodate them and it would push up my appointment even though I was there on time. 4. When I would go for a follow-up on my eye. The office nurses would start examining my other eye. When I questioned them, they said the examination was for that eye's cataract removal, which was not why I was there. Apparently, there was nothing noted on my folder about the problem I was having with the original operation because each time I went, it was like I was there for the first time. My frustration was enormous and being a sensitive older woman who questions everything, I became very emotional. They all looked at me like I was some nut case and I received very little compassion. This is a cattle car number and if you have no questions and they make no mistakes. and you do not care about bedside manner, then maybe you will be lucky and have some success. Otherwise, do your research on picking a better doctor. I trusted a friend's recommendation.

Im very happy with the lens replacement... great doctor

Dr. Davidson seemed very rushed during consultation, and just like the review from Mistreated in Ojai above I felt he was trying to upsell me to a multifocal lens with laser. His flyer even wrongly stated that there would be no vision correction at all with scalpel surgery. The lens manufacturer told me a lens without correction doesn’t even exist. That dishonest brochure was part of his upsell effort. When I consulted Dr. Trotter he told me that I wasn't even a multifocal lens candidate, and quoted me $1800 instead of $3500 for laser surgery. I opted for traditional scalpel surgery and couldn't be happier with results. I don't think it could have turned out better. I want to repeat that I'm not disparaging Dr. Davidson's skills at all since I didn’t use him. I opted for another doctor because I felt that he was upselling hard and he just didn't seem to listen or take serious time with me. My consultation with him lasted 5-7 minutes, while Dr. Trotter spent 20 mins or more with me.

After a botched cataract surgery by another doctor, I went to Dr. Davidson for a consultation. He was very patient and answered all my questions. He reassured me that replacing the lens would be the best thing to do. 2 weeks later he removed the questionable lens and replaced it with the proper one. I can't say enough about Dr. Davidson other than he was wonderful and i am extremely pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Davidson to anyone needing cataract surgery.

I just had cataract surgery by Dr. Davidson and it went really well. The whole experience was made easier from start to finish by a sympathetic and professional group of staff, from the initial consultation, through eye measurements and scheduling, and especially during the surgery itself. The nurses make you comfortable. There is no pain and the surgery goes very quickly. I got the laser operation with multifocal implants, so my vision will be corrected. The whole thing is amazing and I have great respect for doctors and nurses in general after the experience. Be sure you get the best doctor for your surgery like I did, because we are talking about your eyes, and that is the rest of your LIFE!
