Full-time laser good news for South Georgians
As LASIK surgery becomes a more popular way for correcting vision, the demand for the service in South Georgia has increased. Dr. Scott Petermann is meeting that demand. Petermann, an ophthalmologist with the Affinity Health Group, added his own laser to his Valdosta office in February 2007. Now, patients can choose to have all of their pre-operation and post-operation visits in Tifton or Valdosta while having their actual surgery in Valdosta. Previously, the laser used in the procedure was not available on a full-time basis - leaving little flexibility in scheduling.
