We first met Dr. Traverse about 3 years ago after my husband sustained an eye injury while hunting. A branch slapped him in the eye. We went to the emergency room where he was given an antibiotic. The concern was about an infection from the fungus a tree can have. He was directed to see his eye doctor. His usual doctor wasn’t available so we saw Dr. Traverse. This was the best thing that could have happened.
My husband had penetrated 9 layers of his cornea. He had had lasik surgery and that makes the injury even more traumatic. Dr. Traverse prescribed a much stronger antibiotic to ward off infection.
My husband was having trouble with the healing process – meaning the area would heal a layer and then he would go to sleep and upon waking it would tear the healed layer off. This became unbearably painful.
We ended up calling Dr. Traverse at home at 2 a.m. He lives in Elk River and we lived in Plymouth at the time. We explained the situation and he drove in and we met up in the Plymouth office. He inserted a contact of some type to protect the flap that was trying to heal. It was the best possible solution. With this in place, the eye continued to heal.
Because of his willingness to help us and make that drive in, I am convinced it probably saved my husband’s vision. For a time, he needed to wear glasses for distance. The long term healing process has been that his eye has healed so that now he does not need to wear prescription glasses any longer. To this day, my husband has perfect vision in both eyes.
Since that time, the only eye doctor we will see is Dr. Traverse. He has never viewed us as a patient with a number. He always greets us by our first name and we have a relationship beyond just patient/doctor. Even though we now only see him once a year, he remembers not only our names, but those of our daughter and granddaughter. When it is time for our granddaughter to see an eye doctor, it will only be Dr. Traverse.
He has always taken time to explain anything we asked him about in terms we understood.
I recommend Dr. Traverse without reservation.
