From the very first consultation visit to the actual procedure, everyone was so kind, patient, caring, and positive. I genuinely had very positive and happy experience and am so grateful I found this place! There is a reason they have great reviews and they are all true! I would recommend this place to anyone thinking of doing Lasik because there is honestly no better place to do it. I was impressed with every single person I met and I am truly grateful for this team! Thank you!

Everyone was so very nice and helpful! Dr. Smith is amazing. He makes you feel so comfortable. It was over so very quickly. I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Smith. I wish i wouldn’t have waited so long. The day after surgery my vision is better that 20/20!!!

I was scared that morning.. I thought it was going to be terrible! I did not even knew when the procedure was done, ! I am a jewelry maker, two days later I was in my bench working with my safety glasses soldering little tiny pieces of silver. Driving and preparing Spanish lessons. My vision is back to my twenties! No pain at all. Thank you very much to all the lovely people who work there!! Patricia Sepulveda

I’ve been in glasses since I was in second grade. During my second tour of duty, I did my research and found Dr. Smith. Having a surgeon who built the program for Air Force pilots to see gave me the confidence that I was in good hands. His team are complete professionals. They answered all questions and made sure I had no doubts about the surgery. The surgery took all of 5 minutes and by the next day, I was 20/20. I don’t write reviews but I would encourage anyone seeking Lasik to come visit Dr. Smith’s team.

A year ago I met Dr. Smith and the awesome staff at Lasik Plus. As everyone is saying, and I agree, they are all awesome! Speaking from a years worth of experience with this staff I just need to say that I would recommend this place and have many times. What you should know and what I didn't know before my first procedure last June was that I was in a percentage of patients that need multiple procedures to achieve the optimal effect. While I was very happy the very next day after my first procedure, I could read without glasses/bifocals for the first time in 20+ years Dr Smith has had to perform procedures on each eye individually since then and we're almost there, I hope to have my final enhancement soon, I will know next week. This is one of the reasons you pay for lifetime enhancements. Which I am grateful for. Good luck! You are in good hands, that I am sure of.
