Dr. Brian D. Haas, MD - Orlando, Florida

I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my ptosis repair surgery performed by Dr. Haas. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Dr. Haas is not only incredibly skilled but also genuinely caring, taking the time to explain the procedure and address all of my concerns. I’m very happy with how everything turned out.

The results have been nothing short of amazing! Both of my eyes now look symmetrical and natural, exactly what I wanted. His work is truly exceptional, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Highly recommend!

My husband was seen at the Eye Boutique because he has a history eye problems which have led him to experience excessive drainage from his eyes. This visit was on June 25, 2020 and I took pictures were taken on that date around 3:20 PM.

Yesterday 7/6/20 my husband returned to have his tear ducts dilated. According to Dr. Haas the procedure was unsuccessful. He then rushed my husband into making a surgical appointment for 7/15/20. After forty-five years we consult with each other before making treatment decisions but despite my request to be included, we were not given that opportunity. He was also scheduled for a CT Scan for 7/9/20.
Because my husband was uncomfortable with the rapid scheduling and had unanswered questions he asked that I cancel all of his appointments which I did on yesterday once the surgical scheduler, Jared, returned from lunch.
This morning my husband received a call from the office of Dr Haas and was subsequently connected with him. The call was on speaker and I heard Dr. Haas ask for me. He also asked why the appointment was canceled. My husband told him he was uncomfortable with having the procedure at this time.
Dr. Haas was quite forceful in his speech and began to name dire consequences of the 'infection' he now claims is present. No antibiotic was prescribed but on the aao.org website this excerpt is found:

Sometimes, more than one treatment or procedure is needed before a blocked tear duct is fully opened. If an infection is suspected, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics.

We can not recommend.this practice based on my husband's direct experience or the manner in which Dr. Haas spoke to me this morning. He was quite arrogant and began speaking at the top of his voice when I mentioned the condition of his office and lack of his staff wearing masks. The pictures verifing lack of social distancing and improper use of masks are below

Dr Haas complete cataract surgery on both eyes and it was a wonderful experience. I had an injury in my left eye from sports in1982 which made it difficult but Dr Haas found the perfect way to remove the cataract and insert the new lens. Extraordinary effort and great explanaos a Care afterwards. Highly recommend him.

I've been treated by Dr Haas over the past two years, first for a dry eye condition, and most recently for cataracts. The results have been fantastic. I never realized the problems caused in my eyesight by the 'dry eye' condition --- but the outcome has been great - I've never had less eye strain and can see better than ever. Last month we did cataract surgery and had correcting lenses implanted --- once again perfect results, I can now see 20-20 without glasses. Love it! Very knowledgeable doctor with great support team.

Totally dissatisfied. Unprofessional service rendered at this office. I went for a cataract assessment and looking to have it removed and having an insertion of lenses . Receptionist assured me I will not be charged with additional 65 dollars related to an exam for prescription glasses. And to sign the form anyway as a formality. Be aware!!! At the end of the 2 hour wait and a brief exam done by a technician and 5 minutes with Dr Haas. It was determined I had to come back for another exam. Which I was making an appointment for but then a different receptionist wanted to charge me the additional 65 for a test a did not need since I did not go for prescription glasses. Totally ignored the oral agreement the receptionist let me to believe. A billing woman wanted me to pay regardless my disagreement since I did not make, I repeat, did not make an appointment for prescription glasses. I read about the poor reviews on that end, but I did not think it will happy me. After this bad experience, I will not come back to this greedy place.

I am 24 and have had ptosis my entire life. About two years ago, I noticed it had started affecting my vision, so I began seeking surgery. I was referred to a different doctor first, and the result was awful. The lid looked worse than before and was barely any higher. I was pretty devastated.

Thankfully, I was wiling to try again, and after doing some research, I found Dr. Haas! My insurance was about to change so I needed surgery ASAP, and Dr. Haas was very understanding and was able to get me in for surgery just a week after I saw him for consult.

I was nervous after my first surgery went so poorly, but I am very happy with the result! The lid looks great, and it is no longer in my line of sight.

Dr. Haas is also very kind and seems to genuinely like being able to help his patients, which I really appreciate.

I absolutely recommend Dr. Haas!

Worst pain I have ever experienced!

I contracted with Dr Brian Haas for surgery to remove excess skin on both my upper and lower eyelids in December, 2018. During the procedure I became aware of my surroundings a number of times. I realized that there was something seriously wrong when I was able to feel the incision being made across my eyelid. Although it was painful, it was tolerable. However, the next thing I became aware of was my eyelid being stitched. I could feel the needle entering and leaving the lid and the tug of the suture. It was the worst pain I have ever felt – the sedation and local anesthetic were apparently not working properly. And I have a very high tolerance for pain. I immediately attempted to move my hand and could hear myself trying to scream.

Later in recovery, I expected that Dr Haas would say something about the incident – but not a word. There was also no follow-up from him or his staff after the surgery. I had to call the office on my own to find out what the next steps were, when the stitches would be removed, etc.

During that first follow-up, I expressed my extreme disappointment in the procedure itself, described the pain I endured, and asked why he never said anything about the problems. His response was, “ You have good results – what does it matter?” He commented that I required more sedation/local anesthetic than most patients – as much as he was allowed to administer. And that he never expected I would remember anything.

The possibility that any of this might happen was never discussed with me prior to surgery. Nor was I offered an option for anesthesia. I would never use Dr. Haas again for anything. His arrogance and cavalier attitude towards his own errors are appalling. And there is no excuse for the lack of follow-up from staff.

My husband had a very bad situation with Dr.Haas: 5 years ago my husband was told by doctor: there are cataracts in both eyes, surgery is necessary, best implants are not covered by insurance, price of implants $6,000.00. Surgeries should be done in timeframe of 6 months. Doctor immediately ordered sophisticated tests without explanation that they are a part of preparation for surgeries (we didn't say a word that we are going to have surgeries yet.) For unnecessary tests we paid about $400.00. We asked another doctor for second opinion. Second opinion was: in age of 59 everybody has some stage of cataract. Yes, my husband has a medical problem in his eyes, which will make cataract surgery in the future "a drop more difficult". His cataracts were not mature, and with his glasses my husband had 20/20 vision. That's why second opinion doctor said in 2014: he will not do any surgery himself and will not recommend to do in now.
In 2020 my husband still has 20/20 vision with glasses and no significant signs of progressing in cataracts.
