Dr. Andrew Makela, O.D.

It's been over 5 years now since I had my procedure. Not a single day goes by that I don't express gratitude through my internal monologue for having this life changing experience. The price has dropped so much since I got mine done but I would have paid double for the effect it's had on my every day. Check Groupon for discounts, found one the day after my procedure. Everything was simple and we'll explained. The laser vision hasn't kicked in yet but I can see better than 20/20 now. Highly recommend.

I could not be happier with the entire process: from the initial consult to the procedure, everyone was kind, friendly, and answered any and all of my questions! This is by far the best investment I’ve made in myself. I’ve had glasses since the 2nd grade so being able to wake up and see clearly still boggles my mind! Dr Allen was awesome and even checked in on my later in the evening! Overall a very positive experience

I had such a great overall experience. Dr. Allen and his team were awesome! I felt very comfortable and at ease during my procedure. Dr. Allen has a great personality and made sure I knew what was going on at all times which made things so easy on my end. I finally have 20/20 vision after being in contacts for years and having a -10 prescription. I can’t thank Dr. Allen and his team enough for this wonderful experience!

I cannot even believe I went through this procedure! I am STILL in shock! I have heard from many people that Lasik was definitely worth the "hype" and I could not agree with them more! Being able to wake up and not depend on glasses or contacts is just life changing! I ended up getting 20/15 vision too!! I decided on a whim to go in for a consultation August 27th. I did not expect to have my surgery the next day! The staff at LasikPlus was so sweet and welcoming from my first meet to my follow up. They convinced me to go for it! I'm glad I was able to get in the next day so I wouldn't chicken out and change my mind! They calmed my nerves and helped with my anxiety. Kate was the first person I met with, she measured my eyes, dilated them, and looked to see if I was eligible for the procedure. She answered my questions and concerns and explained what it would be like and what to expect. I had a couple more questions to ask the next day before my procedure and both doctors took their time and answered them thoroughly. I did not feel like I was being rushed by them or pressured. The laser machine I had was from 2020, so that was comforting to know they used new technology on your eyes! It helped that a couple of the ladies got the procedure done themselves, so they were able to speak from experience. Of course, they all say that it would be so quick and naturally my anxiety didn't let me believe that ha-ha, but it truly was a really quick procedure!! Ally and Lisa were so nice too!! They held my hand throughout the procedure and Dr. Allen helped ease my anxiety from the moment I met him. He talked to me during the whole procedure which helped my mind focus on that instead of my anxiety. I liked that he counted down for each eye, explained what he was doing, and how long I had left of the procedure. I made an appointment for a week after my surgery and the new doctor I met with was just as friendly and knowledgeable. I am not good with pain, and I am thankful this procedure was painless. I did feel a little more pressure when they were using the stint to hold open my right eye, but it was not painful. They first prep you by checking your eyes and then add numbing drops. The doctor then checks to make sure that is set, and you are directed to one machine that preps your eyes to open the flap of your cornea. Once that is complete the staff helps assist you to another machine where the actual laser does its magic! Once that is complete the doctor uses this cute squeegee to clean your eyes and close your flap. He then adds a few drops (that kind of stung) and then you're on your way! You receive a cute "goodie" bag filled with all the drops you'll need (I ran out, Target sells the same brand they give you), antibiotics, goggles, and instructions on how to take care of your new eyes! Instructions were well written and answered any questions you may have! They tell you to take a nap (if you cannot that is okay) but at least close your eyes for 2-5 hours following your procedure. I finally fell as asleep and when I woke up, I was able to open my eyes and see clearer. When you leave the procedure you initially can see but it is hazy, sort of like you are under water. Eventually that clears up and you can see perfectly! If you are hesitant on getting this done, I would say just go for it!! Don't be scared! It is such a surreal, overwhelming (due to my anxiety), and amazing experience all in one! Thanks, LasikPlus for making my experience great and helping me not be dependent on glasses and contacts!! And because of the wonderful experience I had with everyone at this location; now my identical twin, her husband, and my uncle want to get it done! Oh! And thank you for taking a picture of me in the procedure room and afterwards!! Such a nice surprise and touch to end my visit!!

Very friendly staff. No pressure to buy. They were very informative. Surgery was successful and doctor is good on calling before and after surgery to check with you. Would recommend to anyone!
