If he hadn’t of come here (Calais) I don’t know when I would have gotten this done,” says Dennis Jones of Pembroke when speaking about his recent cataract procedures. Mr. Jones was the first patient treated by Vision Care of Maine’s Dr. Curt Young when he began providing cataract surgical services at CCH last month. Mr. Jones was so pleased with the results he came back last week for Dr. Young’s second CCH surgical day to have his other eye completed.
Mr. Jones described a positive experience with the CCH surgical staff and Dr. Young – and a great outcome of tremendously better eyesight.
Other patients treated last week described very similar experiences:
“Before I even got out of the chair I could see. It was unbelievable. This has opened up a new world for me.” — John Baxter, Eastport.
“I had no vision before and can’t believe how well I can see now. They are an amazing bunch of staff and doctor.” — Richard Petty, Waite.
Along with Dr. Young, community members can expect to see the familiar faces of CCH Surgical nurses caring for them as well. The CCH Surgery Department staff worked diligently over several months preparing for this service and is excited to add cataract surgery to the list of offerings available locally.
“We have found our model of bringing this state-of-the-art surgery closer to home for our patients invaluable in restoring vision and profoundly convenient,” stated Cristy Hewitt, RN, Director of Clinical and Surgical Services for Vision Care of Maine. “Dr. Young and the rest of our physicians proudly look forward to offering surgical consultations and surgery now in Calais.”
