LasikPlus Reviews on Google
Dr. Sylvester and the staff at Lasik Plus are wonderful! They took the time to explain the process every step of the way. After wearing glasses and contacts for more than 20 years, I now see 20/15! I only wish I would have done it sooner!
Very professional and personal care! I know that I was family, highly recommend.
I’m glad I chose Dr Sylvester at LasikPlus. I originally went to the “popular” place advertised on the radio. You didn’t even talk to a doctor until your day of surgery. All they said is that I was a good candidate and then started the sale. LasikPlus tells you exactly what’s going to happen and Dr Sylvester himself answers your questions. The procedure was over in like 5 min. I’m glad I chose this place.
From consult to post-op, I was told about and reassured through every step. This was comforting and very needed for me. The staff was very knowledgeable and welcomed questions with every interaction. Financing was a breeze and it can be interest free! Dr. Carl Sylvester was super cool and put me at ease before and during the procedure. I researched MANY lasik offices before selecting LASIK Plus, I have only one regret, and that is I should have done this 7 years ago when I first considered it!! I completed my 24 hr follow-up Appointment today and I’m feeling fine!
