LasikPlus Reviews on Google
Excellent staffing, comfortable and warm. Knowledgeable and thorough with my questions and examination. I came a long distance to Lasikplus and I am happy I did. I was lucky enough to have a great bill of health with my eyes and was able to do my Pre-op check, procedure and post operative check SAME DAY! Everything was so surprisingly quick and comfortable. Today is my second day after Lasik, and I am so happy I made this choice. Aside from a little light haloing, I wouldn't know I had this procedure at all other than that I can actually see without corrective lenses. Pain was minimal for me, and lasted only a couple hours after procedure. It just felt like I cut a bunch of pungent onions and then spent the rest of the day with a slight feeling of an eyelash or something in the eye, and a bit of fogging. When they suggest sleeping immediately after procedure, I would recommend doing that for that reason. Following my post-op instructions to the T and feeling great. I went from blind as a bat without my glasses, to 20/20 with minimal post-op discomfort. Always make sure you understand the risks and possibilities before undergoing any procedure! I was a perfect candidate and a success story so far.
I have had to wear glasses my entire life and this amazing place helped me to finally see without them! The staff and doctors are fantastic and kind. They went above and beyond what I expected and I'm so grateful for them.
My husband just had his consultation and they were able to perform the surgery the same day. It was a wonderful experience! Very friendly staff and well educated doctors! His vision is already so much better after one day!
Wonderful experience. After over 40 years of thick, heavy glasses, Lasik has set me free. I'm able to see clearly... Simply amazing. I cannot thank you enough!
Amazing experience, from consultation to surgery to follow up. Staff was amazing and made every part a great experience.
