laser eye surgery clinics

Considering laser correction eye surgery. Get referral from eye doctor or just go to the clinic directly?

Hi,
well I guess it’s a matter of trust and some psychology. I will explain:
Do you think it is better to get a referral from an eye doctor to bring to the clinic?
one advantage I can think of is this might increase the motivation of the surgeon (who is also an eye doctor) to treat you a bit better because you are not just coming “on your own” but rather in touch with/under the care of another eye doctor so the surgeon “better” do a good job…
Does it make sense? what would you do?
If you already had a surgery, did you just go directly to the clinic and trust them 100% or came with a referral from your/another eye doctor?
THANKS.

doesn’t matter much IMO
