I couldn't be happier with my surgery. The staff is so amazing at this location and they help you feel 100% informed and comfortable with the process. They're also just as amazing post surgery as they are when getting you ready to commit. My vision is perfect! I can't say enough good things about the process. Recovery is a breeze. I was driving 18 hours after surgery and never had a complication. If you're at all curious, definitely make an appointment here, you won't regret it! Thank you so much LasikPlus!

It's was awesome all the way from the initial phone call until my follow up appointments. Staff has passion for what they do not to mention doctor Smith who have me back my vision in a matter of minutes and few hours of recovery. They work with you for real and help you get your medication and surgery at a best great price that they can offer. Money well spent it pays back with their service. I recommend it. Try it. Is your health and it's painless. Just FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and it will be over in no time and SEE for yourself. Get your fighter pilot vision. Schedule an appointment and you will know what I mean...

The staff was thorough and helpful through every step of the process. Everything was explained in its entirety so I did not have to ask any questions, they answered my questions before I even needed to ask. Dr. Smith was very friendly and told me exactly how the procedure would happen step by step in the operating room, which helped put me at ease. Right after the procedure I took the recommended 4 hour nap, then slept off and on all through the evening and into the night. The next morning at my follow up appointment I was seeing 20/20. I could not imagine a better LASIK experience. Dr. Smith and his staff made something I was nervous about very painless and easy. I am very happy with my results and the experience I received from this office.

I have been wanting to get my eyes fixed for a really long time, but I wanted to find the best, I stumbled upon this center because of the amazing reviews online. I was super nervous, but as soon as I walked through that door Dr. Smith and his staff made me feel very comfortable. He's a fantastic doctor and my vision is perfect. I could not have asked for anything better!

Excellent experience! Called on Monday to schedule a consultation. Spoke to a young lady who was very helpful and scheduled my consultation the following day. Met with the doctor to determine my candidacy on Wednesday and had the surgery Thursday. I was in and out in under and hour! Dr. Smith and his staff were great! The actual procedure took 4 1/2 minutes! I wish I would have done this sooner and would highly recommend Dr. Smith, his friendly staff, and his colleagues if you are considering LASIK surgery!
