Dr. Allen and his entire team were awesome. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with smiles. All the staff members are very knowledgeable and make you feel at ease. I actually was able to have my procedure done the same afternoon as my consultation. Before and during the procedure, Dr. Allen explains everything to you step by step. This was so calming and really made me feel taken care of. This is such an amazing team and I cant thank them enough for making such a positive impact on my everyday life.
So great! I had to go back for a second time and it was easier than the first. It was free/ covered under warranty. I like the word free better. Ha The procedure probably took half the time than the first time (and that only took 10 min tops). The people who work here are awesome. I feel like they are all my friends... It's just a weird (in a good way), comfortable atmosphere. Everyone is so nice. You never feel like you are inconveniencing anyone. Never afraid to ask questions. Just walk in and instantly you have friends. I'd trust these people with my eyeballs any day.
Scuba Diving is a passion of mine however let me tell you there is nothing more unnerving than losing a contact 115ft down in the ocean away from a 12 foot tiger shark. The procedure was made clear, simple and easy. The staff are all wonderful and are there for any questions or concerns you may have. Thanks to Dr. Allen and the staff for my perfect vision and helping continue what I love doing. -Anthony
Wow!! Cant recommend this place more. They care so much about you feeling at peace. DR. Allen personally called me days before the procedure just to see if I had any questions. Who does that? Office staff was so friendly and helpful. Procedure itself was a piece of cake! Nothing to be nervous about at all! Thank you Lasikplus! Guess what I'm not wearing!!!???
Everyone was so sweet, I’ve never been to a place with such friendly staff. The procedure was beyond easy! I still can’t believe after 20 years I can see! I literally cried out of happiness after my surgery! Btw Allie is a life savor when it comes to calming you and going above and beyond To make the whole thing possible! Thank you all and thank you to the amazing doctors my life is forever better!!’
