Went to MANN EYE for cateract surgery.  met Jennifer Meltton and immediately liked her. She was sweet caring and informative.   I had no way of knowing it was an act.    I had interviewed a couple doctors and I felt very comfortable  and safe with her.   When I got to surgery, she was like and unfeeling DIFFERENT person.   While starting the removal procedure she  pinched  the skin on the side of  my face.  I cried  out and told her it hurt badly, her response was :'YOU CAN GET UP AND GO HOME"  She didnt care that she had hurt me  and allowed the skin to remain pinched  ( I'm 80 yrs old) I repeated that it hurt and she again told me I could get up and go home, what do you want to do?   I was already on the operating table  and drowsy from the valium, so  I let her proceed.   I canceled the second procedure.  BEWARE. she is not what she appears to be.
