5Fantastic experience at LasikPlus. I had scheduled with three other LASIK surgical centers, but cancelled my appointments after my initial visit at LasikPlus—they were just that good. I was able to schedule my procedure the next day, but waited a week due to my work schedule. The day of the procedure was a wonderful & quick experience. Dr. Ellis is fantastic, as is all the staff at LasikPlus. The best part? I CAN SEE NOW!! My only regret is not coming to them sooner. Wonderful experience with wonderful staff.

5Great staff. They were great about working with rescheduling when I had something come up. Day of the procedure was great. They walked me through everything very thoroughly and calmly. Not going to lie, the procedure isn't super comfortable, but it's over quickly and they do a great job of coaching you through what is going on. Jessica was the one talking me through everything and she was great. Dr. Ellis was very reassuring also, and then called me personally that evening to see how I was and if I had any questions.

5This is a long one, but if you’re nervous like I was and looking for info please read:
The week of my appointment I was incredibly nervous and looked at the reviews for them. I was immediately skeptical at the amount of 5 star reviews, thinking they must give patients an insentive to leave a good review, however I can now confirm that isn’t true at all and they are just that good.
I had no reason to be nervous.
They were playing music (pretty good 60s and 70s classics) in the OR and the whole procedure only took about 4 songs. I wish I could remember the woman helping me and Dr. Ellis’ name, but she had the most soothing voice and made sure I was calm and comfortable the whole time. Dr. Ellis was excellent as well. I was in and out and back home to take a nap in less time than it would take to get my nails done (and the minimal pain was probably comparable to a nail appointment too).
The staff that wasn’t in the OR was excellent too. Joel was very helpful and reassuring and Stella (who doesn’t work at that office but on their 800 number) was so nice and helpful too.
If you were a contacts wearer, dry contacts or one breaking in your eye is 100x more uncomfortable than the most painful parts of this procedure. It has been exactly a week since my procedure and i am 100% healed (at least it feels that way).
Long story short:
The staff is amazing, there was no pain, and it was 100% worth every penny. My life has been forever changed. Hope this helps someone!

5Recommend! Amazing doctor and staff! I have anxiety on regular basis so one can imagine how stressed I was about this procedure. One of the ladies had an extremely soothing voice and was talking me through the whole procedure making sure I’m breathing and understanding that what I’m experiencing is normal and okay. The time went by extremely fast and felt like the doctor only took 30 seconds per eye! Today is the next day and being able to wake up and see everything perfectly clear is amazing so I recommend it to anyone! Also the price for it wasn’t as much as I expected and it was so worth it!
