Louisiana Cornea Specialists - Dr. Satya Reddy

Some years ago I had an eye problem that I thought was pink eye. I saw a local optometrist and he suggested that I see a specialist immediately. He called Dr Reddy. I was not then a patient of Dr Reddy's, none the less he was good enough to check out my eye problem. I recall he was about to go on vacation, and to make matters worse it was a Friday. Dr Reddy prescribed medications and in a few days the eye problems went away. I had a serious staff infection, and I'm sure he saved my vision that day. Years later I suffered a bleeding retina. I immediately called Dr Reddy. After a visit in his office he suggested a retina specialist. His recommendation placed under the care of the right doctor at the right time. After months of care I regained my sight. Recently it became clear that I needed cateract surgery. Once more I sought out the medical services of Dr Reddy. I'm happy to report that the operations were a glowing success. I now have better vision in both eyes than I've had for decades. I would highly recommend Dr. Reddy to anyone for any eye related concerns. I truely feel that he saved my vision on three separate occasions. A better medical professional cannot be found. We are very fortunate to have him in within easy reach!

I am amazed they are not more reviews but I assume the fact that so many older people go to the eye doctor and they don't really use the Google reviews feature or don't know about it or don't have the ability to use it I would think that there would be a lot more one and two star ratings. None of this went the way we expected none of it went the way we were informed about it before the surgery

Going through the process of cataract surgery is one of the most disappointing medical experiences of my life. At the end of June 2024, I was told by Dr. Daniel Dodson in Hammond that I would need to have bilateral cataract surgery. He shared the different options for maximizing my vision post-surgery, and I opted for the Light Adjustable Lenses option. I was told I would have near-perfect vision for the remainder of my life. After jumping through a few hoops, we finally got my insurer to approve the procedure and was told I would be responsible for paying $1,210 as my out-of-pocket cost for the eye surgeon's fees (Dr. Dodson's), as well as $1,154.70 for the surgical center's fees (Pinnacle Surgery Center in Covington), where the procedures would be performed, each eye a week apart. His office provided me with excellent pre- and post-surgical instructions. The surgery went well, and my healing was on track, per my follow-up visits with Dr. Dodson. I was then scheduled on Aug. 28 (a month later) to see Dr. Satya Reddy at Louisiana Cornea Specialists in Covington to have the Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL) process performed. Once I was checked in, I was directed to an exam room, where a clinician asked, "Were you told you would be paying Dr. Reddy $3,900 to have your eyes adjusted?" I was incensed, to say the least. I responded, "No, I wasn't told at any point that I would be paying $3,900!" [Above what my insurance covered and what I had already paid.] The clinician then said, "I didn't think you had been. We've had this issue a few times before." I then met Dr. Reddy, and I expressed my anger with just learning - on the day of the adjustment procedure - that I'd be responsible for $3,900! I told him I would keep my vision as it was and would leave his office. Dr. Reddy then said my vision would go back to the vision I had before surgery. As you can imagine, I was left with no choice. As upset as I was, I handed them my credit card for the $3,900, and a few moments later, I heard Dr. Reddy ask the clinician if the $3,900 had gone through. Once she confirmed it cleared, the LAL process began. Afterward, my vision was 20/25. What knocked it further over the edge was almost a year later, I received an invoice for anesthesiology fees in the amount of $90.48! Again, at no point before the initial eye surgery, was I given a statement with all of these fees broken out. Had I been informed, I would have just had the cataracts removed and would have been satisfied with whatever my insurance covered, keeping my out-of-pocket costs as low as possible. Today, my vision is just a bit better than it was before my first surgery. I can still see long distance (as I could before), but I have to wear reading glasses for anything up close. My advice: Don't make any decisions based on what you are told or what you see in any marketing video. Insist on being given a full breakout of fees in writing before you make any decision.

Dr reddy is an awesome doctor. Such great results on my eye surgery. His staff is amazing as well. Do not hesitate to use this doctor. He is kind and very caring as is his staff.

Dr Reddy has a wonderful gift! My eyesight is restored! I have 20/20 distance vision and use reading glasses for up-close. What a blessing he has been!! I recommend him 100%!!

Such a gifted surgeon!! Thank you for your expertise. Dr Reddy is personable and made our 13 year old son feel valued and respected after his eye injury and during the surgery and follow ups.

Dr Reddy did a great job with my daughters cross-linking surgery for her Keratoconus this past December. The procedure went off without a hitch, but what what made this 5-stars was the treatment afterwards. Because of her autoimmune issues for another medical issue we knew her recovery wouldn't be like a normal patient. Dr. Reddy, kept such close tabs on her and would see numerous times through the next 4 weeks, whether on the weekend or late in the day, he went way beyond the normal Dr duties. Speaking with a friend who's son had the same surgery at a different facility the following week wished they had the same post op care that we received. I would highly recommend Dr. Reddy for your eye surgery.

Dr. Reddy has been a God sent to my particular situation. In 2015 he performed a cornea transplant. I did difficulties after the surgery due to my extreme condition. He was there for me every step of the way. Now I am wearing corrective lenses and do have acceptable vision and I owe it all to him. I highly recommend Doctor Reddy, as he is confident , knowledgeable and very very friendly and listens to what you have to say. If you are having cornea problems he your man! PRC
