LasikPlus Reviews on Google
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.
Dr. Sylvester is very knowledgeable and does a fantastic job. The entire staff is very nice and informative. They all do a wonderful job of helping you make the best possible decision for yourself. Glad I chose Dr. Sylvester and his team.
Great experience and awesome results! Everyone was very helpful throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Dr. Carl Sylvester and his team for anyone interested in Lasik or any other procedure. Thanks, guys!
LasikPlus off Meridian has been very kind to me. I went in to be seen for a simple check to see if i would even be a candidate for treatment. I ended up having the procedure done 2 days later. Knowledgeable and friendly Dr.! Staff was amazing at explaining what instructions to follow, while being friendly. Thanks for making this experience a pleasant one. AND I can actually see again!
I had a great experience at LasikPlus! Everyone in the office is very friendly and professional, and I am enjoying 20/20 vision!
