On April 12, 2022, Dr. Michael Chappell, with the Moyes Eye Center, performed what should have been a routine removal of a chalazion on my eyelid. However, when he attempted to inject lidocaine into my eyelid before the procedure, he injected the lidocaine into my left eye. The lidocaine included ingredients toxic to my eye, leading to excruciating pain, permanent eye damage, and disfigurement. My pupil is now fixed and I have a lifetime of aftercare and surgeries ahead of me. I was only 34 years old at the time of the incident, and it has caused immeasurable distress in my life. To make things worse, neither Dr. Chappell nor his employer, Moyes Eye Center, have taken any responsibility for their actions, despite Dr. Chappell admitting this under oath during his deposition: "Q. Are you aware that one of the allegations in this case is that you inadvertently injected Lidocaine into her eye? A. Yes. Q. Are you able to rule out that that occurred during the procedure? ** A. I cannot rule it out. ** A. There's a number of possible causes for her postoperative post-procedure course. Q. And I know you went through some of them with me, but my question for you is are you aware if the doctors at Moyes who were -- who saw Ms. Dehnert in 2022, if you all were able to reach a consensus about the cause of her postoperative issues? A. Through many discussions and many evaluations, we have possible intraocular injection of medication as the most likely cause, with a number of other possible causes." I have been forced to hire an attorney and this matter remains unresolved, with Dr. Chappell denying my claims and offering me no compensation for my injuries. I am a single mom to a young daughter, which makes the emotional and financial stress of this incident even worse. I am sharing my story in hopes this will not happen to anyone else. I do however recommend Doctor Stiles out of Overland Park and Tim Cavannah as they've both been there and provided an abundance of care and empathy towards me.
Excellent care at Moyes Eye Center!
Dr Park,Angie and Kim were amazing. They took great care of my husband’s eyes today. There is such professionalism from the very beginning until the very end of the appointment. Very caring people working here.
