Spectra Eye Institute

Feb 2024

Left in the pre-op bed for 2 hours while patients who arrived long after me were taken to surgery before me, and they were having the same surgery. A retired physician was treated with special care while I was left alone for 2 hours. BTW, I found out that I was actually scheduled before this physician. I felt totally neglected even though 2 weeks I had the same procedure on my other eye, and my treatment was do much better.

This place has all the charm of the DMV, but worse service. Spectra Eye Institute is a total crap-hole. Literally the worst service from the front desk staff. Sketchy neighborhood to boot. Beg your physician to use another out patient clinic. The crowd in there is pretty rough. Not for fancy pants folks. You will be concerned about your valuables while waiting.

Very terrible experience with Dr. Barakat. I came to him with some floaters and wound up 5 surgeries later, double vision, scereal buckle (extremely uncomfortable plastic device he sewed into my eye) and macular puckering which I will never be able to see anything I focus on out of the eye he worked on. I seriously question his financial motives bringing patients into surgery from Retinal Consultants of Arizona, especially since he is part owner of Spectra eye institute. I had to go to another surgeon to get my issues to come to an end.
