The staff is absolutely amazing. They are very kind and they remember your name. The procedure was very fast and painless and I was 20/15 the next day. It's been a month and a half since my procedure now and it was the best decision I've ever made. I can see better than I ever could with contacts and I don't have any dryness issues. I decided on LasikPlus after reading the reviews and it was definitely worth the drive from Mansfield. My experience was so good, my husband had his procedure 3 weeks later. Dr. Smith and his staff are the best and they have the reviews to prove it.

The office is super clean and nicely furnished. Everyone is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I was so nervous, but everyone was so nice and friendly, it put me at ease. Sandra and Alicia were super friendly and made me feel like family. Doctor Smith was great. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is thinking about getting this surgery. Just had surgery yesterday and my prescription today is 20/25...I was 20/30 before surgery, and it's only going to get better!

Absolutely Amazing! Everyone is amazing in this place. And you will not feel any doubt or any regrets choosing this place. Price wise its manageable but Vision of 20/20 that's all that matters. Awesome crew you got here!

I had my surgery in July 16'. This was my second time having lasik so I knew what to expect; however my first experience was over 15 years ago. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The procedure went as expected and I left with 20/15 vision. The follow up appointments were informative and reassuring. I would highly recommend this location to anyone. Lastly, don't be fooled by cheap advertising because we are talking about your eyes and we all know "you get what you pay for".
