Dr Delarusso was talking about Lasik eye surgery financing when cosmetic surgery like LASIK, which is used to get rid of glasses at about a rate of 1.5 million a year is increasingly being financed, sometimes at no interest penalty at all.

Lasik is not covered by medical insurance so it can be a great drain for many people. Depending on a person’s credit rating, one may have lasik with Dr. Delarusso of New York and New Jersey and get a 12 months credit after which time the loan comes due and may to be paid without any interest at all.

Dr Delorusso says that the patient arranges with the credit company to pay him and will then repay the lender according to their agreement either with no interest or heavy interest. The doctor himself plays no part in this arrangement, except to make the introduction of the patient to the lender and then allow them to work out their own particular agreement if any.

Dr. Delorusso says that financing has allowed those who cannot pay in full at the time of surgery an opportunity to undergo much needed lasik eye surgery. It has encouraged patients to undergo LASIK surgery and everyone benefits. Delarusso says that it took him some time to get used to accepting independent financing in his office.
