Dr. Gary Wörtz, MD — Local services in Lexington

The office staff is friendly but wait times are lengthy. The doctor I saw wasn’t the one doing the surgery. On 2 of 3 visits, only one doctor was in the office and the waiting room was pretty full.

The only person in your office who were excited about my surgery were Dr Patel and...

I was literally the most myopic patient Dr. Wortz had ever operated on, so the stakes were pretty high. Numerous other eye doctors (ophthalmologists and optometrists) said that I should have either Gary Wortz, MD or Michael Snyder, MD (Cincinnati Eye) operate on me. I chose Dr. Wortz as I live in Lexington. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I could see better a few hours after surgery than I’ve seen in all my 59 years of life. I don’t use the word, “miracle,” very often, but that’s what it...
