LasikPlus Reviews on Google
Incredibly professional and sincere from the first phone call through the last exam. They truly understand customer care. Everything was excellent...try it for yourself!
I was nervous going in for sure. Read enough online and anyone would be scared the lasik wouldn’t work. I can say though that the staff is all very friendly and helpful. They answer your questions and want you to experience the best outcome. And after 46k procedures Dr. Allen has done—you’d think reviews would be bad if they weren’t doing things right here. But they are doing it right and awesome! I had the lasik procedure a few weeks back. I’m sitting in the office for my check up with 20/20 vision. You know how amazing it is to not be wearing glasses or contacts!!?!! I’m not searching for my glasses anymore wondering where I put them down. I feel my eyes can better handle stress as well...long days or looking at computer screens for long hours. They used to feel tired and dry—now it’s not a problem. If you do decide to get it done and they can do it for you—plan to have it done that month. That’s how you get the best pricing.
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!
This is quite concise but speaks volumes. I had a super positive experience. Meticulous customer service. Kind and friendly. Highly effective treatment. When my day for the procedure came, Dr. Allen worked quickly and with great skill, compassion, and efficiency. I walked in at 930am and left at 1015am. The procedure was very comfortable and it was as though each movement, phrase, and action was perfectly choreographed. This all happened with warmth and empathy. The total procedure time was about 1 minute per eye with literally no pain and just a bit of pressure for a few seconds...like 5 seconds for each eye. 3 days later at my follow up my vision was 20/15 and recovery has been a snap. Just make sure to stay hydrated, rest plenty, and follow the eyedrop sequence. Procedure was Friday and I went back to work Monday AM easily.
Thank you to ALL the staff members at LasikPlus. You truly work as a TEAM! You take that time to answer questions with care. Most importantly, during the procedure you continue to reassure and make the client aware of the time remaining. Thank you!
