- ArthritisYou are in good health and do not suffer from any autoimmune conditions like Sjogren’s syndrome, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis that may make it more challenging to recover after LASIK.
- CryotherapyIt was deemed necessary that I have the melanoma surgically removed. Dr. Mehan took the time, as if I were his only patient, to explain the entire procedure to me. Living over 60 miles away, he called me frequently to check on my condition following the surgery. This brought a great deal of comfort to me knowing that he was just a phone call away if I needed help. The biopsy revealed that I had a very aggressive malignant conjunctival melanoma and would need further treatment. I had cryotherapy with surgery followed by several weeks of chemotherapy. I was amazed and enthused by the results of these procedures as I now have excellent vision in my eye. This could not have been possible without the special gift of knowledge and caring that Dr. Mehan extended me. Due to his unique ability to care for and treat me in this warm personal manner of his, I was able to put complete faith in him and feel very safe and secure in his care.
