“I had an extremely troubling experience at Eyecare Associates with (Dr. Jared Vincent) in Metairie. I went in for a small chalazion issue, instead of just giving me a local anesthetic and taking care of it then. He set it up for a later date at the surgery center, and it was clearly documented that only my left eye was to be treated. Keep in mind nothing was wrong with my right eye, except for the fact that I have rubbed it earlier this morning, and it was a little irritated. Before the surgery, I refused the drugs He tried to push on me are extremely dangerous drugs—propofol and fentanyl—without any screening for interactions. offered by the anesthesiologist, and Dr. Vincent became visibly upset. After that, he worked on my left eye. I thought he was finished, but he then without no warning he aggressively handled my right eye without consent or any anesthesia, despite the written instructions. After that rushed procedure, which took maybe 10 minutes, I then saw a highly trained plastic surgeon independently, who repaired my eye on the spot. My co-pay was only $35, and he used just a local anesthetic—no risky drugs. My eye is now fully repaired. Meanwhile, Dr. Vincent charged my insurance and left me with an extra $435 bill. I still can’t get my billing records. I will attach photos of the damage and the pain I endured was excruciating. I strongly advise anyone considering Dr. Vincent to stay away—this was a dangerous, unprofessional, and unacceptable experience, and I am incredibly grateful to the plastic surgeon who repaired my eye.”
