LasikPlus Reviews on Google
Both of my adult sons have gotten their freedom from contacts at LasikPlus in Spokane. Staff is welcoming, patient and professional! Doctors are TOP NOTCH! Great experience and super thorough. My younger son has special needs and it didn’t phase the docs one bit. They walked him thru the process and took the time w us that was needed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND LasikPlus in Spokane!!!
So happy with the results and experience here! The staff are all really nice and fun to talk with. I was able to schedule the consultation online easily for the next day. The free consultation is more thorough than any eye exam I have had before which was nice since I learned some things about my eyes I never knew. I had a light prescription so I was able to get the promotional $250 per eye rate! I was able to schedule surgery two days later which was super helpful. The waiting room for surgery day has snacks and sodas. The procedure is quick and straight forward. After going home and sleeping like they recommended to avoid the time when the numbing eye drops wear off, I woke up the next day and my eyes were crisp and pain free. Now I have 20/15 vision within 4 days of making an appointment online. They have great charity and referral programs too! If you have ever thought about it, at least get the free consultation... And don't forget to say I referred you too ;-) Plus, I love the sunglasses you get after surgery!
Great pre-op, op, and post op care. I got PRK surgery last August and was a little nervous going in. I saw great results and my eyes corrected to 20/15. When I had to go in a couple of months later to get another post op for a job application, they did it free of charge. Highly recommend to anyone who is considering! Staff was incredible as well!
Everyone at LasikPlus-Spokane was super friendly! The receptionists really tried to make you feel welcome, and the doctors have such amazing bedside manners. During my entire operation Dr. Bogard was just talking to me and keeping me calm, making jokes, and really trying to make the procedure as easy as possible for me. It was a very comforting atmosphere. Also, the LASIK totally worked, my eyes are the best they’ve ever been and I love it!!
Great and efficient staff. Easy financing. Dr I called himself to check on me postop. It's an amazing feeling to walkup and be able to see without stressing that I forgot to take out my contacts. I highly recommend this facility.
