Testimonials
Since high school days, I had peered at things, looked at colors, and read prescribed literary works through prescription glasses. After having recently gone through cataract surgery under the skillful hands of my eye surgeon, Dr. Kootman, I am now experiencing the wonderment of truly seeing – without those awful owlish glasses!
French novelist Marcel Proust once said, “The real voyage of discovery consists of not seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.”
It is truly amazing how I can now literally view the world in a totally different light. How vividly orange the hummingbird trumpet flowers are, how scrawny the browning desert thorn had become, how agile the startled jack rabbit scampers behind the brittle bush, how beautiful the soul that peers out of people’s eyes.
Thank you, doctor, for this miracle of rediscovery. I once was “blind,” but now, I see.

Dear Dr. Kootman,
One might easily complain about the protracted healing time of the DSAEK surgery, but that is nothing compared to the amazing benefit of the procedure. I was going to wait until the healing process was complete to write to you, but the improvement of my vision in my left eye has been so phenomenal that I need to send this note now and tell you so. Considering what you are doing for my vision and me, I wish I could gift you a chateau in Flagstaff, but alas I am just a poor retired teacher and an appreciative letter is the only thing I can come up with. I am herewith promising you a super, super superlative letter when the healing process is complete; and I can read Time Magazine and The Economist without a magnifying glass.
I feel so blessed to have you as my eye surgeon. Please accept my sincere wishes for a great holiday season.
Sincerely,
Erika F.

Dear Dr. Kootman,
How fortunate I am to be your patient! In my emergency situation, you were supportive and efficient. As always, your front office staff was stellar! Since my puppy had chewed my glasses, Kathy in Optical helped me select a wonderful new pair which were provided to me in 48 hours!
Thank you so much!
Cordially,
Michelle L.

Dr. Kootman,
You walk on water!
At my first appointment, I was so apprehensive. My hands held papers with a million questions, to say nothing of my mind. I thought you'd toss me aside, but I was pleasantly surprised! Yourself and Dr. Huber were supportive and attentive.
I was led along the "road of many tests" with kindness, "tons of patience" and consideration for my nervousness and, as it were, unfounded fears.
You made this experience very comfortable for me. No pain, ever. (Maybe I was a pain in the rear, though).
The day arrived! My first cataract procedure! I was a basket case. My daughter flew in from CA to be my support.
Spectra Eye Institute was another wonderful experience. Those women, and men (one in particular, Daniel), were so gentle and kind. I still have a hard time believing the care I was given. Again, no pain!
You were a gentle, caring Doc Kootman. Your assistants were top of the class. Donna is an Angel. She actually held my hand through the procedure. How she did that and helped you as well, is amazing!
Number one eye now done and looking great. I couldn't believe "my eyes" (ha) with how clear I could see. You promised, and you delivered!
No glasses, beautiful clear concise colors, etc. I could go on....
The day arrived! My second eye will now be done! I am so excited, I can hardly wait! My daughter stayed in CA. I had a friend help me the drive home. I stayed by myself, and all was well with the world. Again, all was done with extreme care for "my" well being. I now have two "seeing eyes"...... Thanks to YOU!!
I am so proud of myself. But it's you, Dr. Kootman, and your staff in both offices, that went to make this "scary old kid" feel safe and not afraid anymore. You did more than fix my eyes. You gave me a new outlook! How can I ever thank you..... Feel free to use all, or whatever portion, of this you want. I write it with respect and appreciation for all the folks involved. Not to forget Mo and Cindy and Daina..... Great people! Great staff! Great experience! It truly was "a piece of cake"..
If I can help someone else, please let me know, ok?
Your scardie-cat patient,
