Everyone was so great. I did the free consultation but almost left after they checked my eyes and told me how much it would cost, simply because I couldn’t imagine how I could manage the price. It was going to be hideously expensive but they worked with me to set up a payment plan that made it doable my dream was coming true! The surgery itself was uncomfortable but quick. The five hours afterward were incredibly painful and while they let me know about the stinging ahead of time, there was also burning and my eyes were constantly watering, as well as my nose. I called just to be sure it was all normal and, again, everyone was so nice. After the five hour mark the pain almost completely vanished. It was crazy. I had my follow up today and my eyes are doing great! Everyone was congratulating me and made me feel special. The whole process was so smooth and I can’t believe it happened after years of wishing for lasik. I recommend this place to everyone who asks about the process.
My Lasik procedure went great. Each step was explained in detail, so I knew exactly what to expect. And the morning after the procedure, I had 20/15 vision and no pain! I cannot recommend this location enough! My only suggestion would be to offer a vegetarian capsule for the vitamins prescribed as part of the treatment. Otherwise everything went perfectly. Thank you LasikPlus!
Had an amazing experience! Everything is explained well so you never have to guess as to what is going on! The procedure is quick and you are in and out before you know it! All of the staff is super friendly and really cares about you as an individual patient. Absolutely loved it here
I have worn glasses since I was 7, so these guys fulfilled a dream of being able to see clear with no glasses. It took about a month for my eyes to stabilize to the point of me practically crying as I'm driving down the road because I can see so clear. I am extremely happy with the results. I have two pairs of sunglasses so far, and I will wear them indoors until i get talked to by my boss, because guess what, I CAN WEAR REAL SUNGLASSES NOW!! THANKS LASIK PLUS!
Cannot recommend those procedure and this office enough!! I was so hesitant for so many years, I finally just made up my mind and did it, and LASIK is the absolute best thing I have done for myself in many years!! I have almost no pain at all and I woke up with perfect vision!!! Life changing and worth it!!
