U.S. National Short Track Speed Skating Record Holder Bridie Farrell Achieves Incredible Vision Under the Care of Dr. Pamel

“Waking up each morning and clearly seeing the numbers on my clock is a constant reminder of Dr. Gregory Pamel's impeccable LASIK surgery. I only wish that I had gotten the surgery while I was still a competitive speed skater!!!

Flying around the corner at nearly 30 mph with blades sharp as knives all around ... being able to see is as important as being physically fit! Nothing is worse than having a contact lens fall out or fold up in my eye! If I could do it all over again I would have had LASIK corrective surgery by Dr. Pamel. He and his staff showed the utmost care and professionalism.

And it is without reservation that I recommend my former teammates, friends & family to Dr. Pamel!”

“Having LASIK Surgery is like switching from regular TV to HD! I didn't realize what I was missing. The operation was stress free and I couldn't believe how fast it went. LASIK has had a huge impact on my golf game. My depth perception and ability to see yardages has improved a lot. The biggest difference I have noticed has been my ability to read the greens. I'm making more putts then ever! Thank you so much Dr. Pamel!”

Former NBA star with the world champions San Antonio Spurs and current Director of Basketball Operations for the NBA, Brandon Williams underwent lens implant surgery to treat his extreme nearsightedness.

“I had been extremely nearsighted with my prescription in the -12 to -13 range for all of my adult life. Contact lenses were becoming intolerable and I knew lasik was not an option. The Verisyse lens implant Dr. Pamel placed in my eyes restored my vision as if I had perfect contact lenses on all of the time. I wish I had undergone the procedure while I was still playing professional ball, it would have transformed my career. The procedure was painless and the results were amazing even the next day. Dr. Pamel and his staff did an outstanding job from start to finish.”

ESPN Sportscaster for the New York Jets, Rangers and Knicks has LASIK with Dr. Pamel

"From the initial consultation with Dr. Pamel I felt very comfortable and certain that he was the surgeon who should perform my lasik surgery.  I was impressed with the performance of the Wavelight laser technology he uses and he spent time explaining the surgery to me as well as the potential risks associated with it.  His staff was very professional and courteous in accommodating my hectic schedule. The procedure went very smoothly and my post operative course was uneventful.  I regained my sight the next day and was even able to drive in to see Dr. Pamel!

As a play by play broadcaster, whether I’m calling a New York Jets, Rangers or Knicks game, or working college basketball or football for ESPN, I owe my entire living and career to my eyesight.  It is critical for me to be able to see players and uniform numbers, often times from great distances.  Having lasik with Dr. Pamel turned out to be a great decision for me and my career. I’m enjoying 20/20 vision in both eyes.  I couldn’t be more pleased with my outcome and the quality of care I received."
