Dr Michael George Death:- Dr. Michael George, MD, owner and chief surgeon at Tylock-George Eye Care and Laser Center in Irving, Texas, passed away unexpectedly on June 14, as reported by Fort Worth Inc. on June 17.
The news of his sudden death has led to the temporary closure of the practice’s offices in both Irving and McKinney, Texas, as the staff and community navigate through this challenging time.
Dr. George acquired the practice in 2016 from Dr. Gary Tylock and quickly became renowned for his expertise in advanced eye care procedures.
He specialized in 3D LASIK procedures, cataract surgery, and lens implant surgery. Under his leadership, the Tylock-George Eye Care and Laser Center continued to uphold its reputation for high-quality eye care services.
A significant milestone in Dr. George’s career was when he and Dr. Tylock became the first surgeons in Texas to utilize the advanced WaveLight Refractive Suite Laser. This cutting-edge technology significantly enhanced the precision and outcomes of refractive eye surgeries, setting a high standard in the field.
Dr. George’s sudden passing is a significant loss to the medical community and the patients he served with dedication and care. His contributions to the field of ophthalmology, especially in Texas, have left a lasting impact.
“We appreciate the understanding and patience of our patients, staff, and community during this challenging time,” the practice said in a statement shared with the news outlet. “Further updates regarding the reopening of our offices and ongoing patient care will be communicated as soon as possible.”
