Everyone was super nice! The facility was clean and comfortable. The call center was always available when I thought of questions at home. Email reminders were helpful! Surgery was yesterday so I’m still recovering - happy so far!
This was the best experience!! All the staff was so kind and helpful. I was feeling a little nervous about the procedure and everyone was so great. They answered all my questions and they all made me feel at ease during the procedure! Definitely would highly recommend to anyone interested in lasik :)
I would recommend LasikPlus and Dr. Ellis to anyone who is looking to have Lasik surgery. The procedure only took about 10 minutes for myself and immediately after the surgery I was able to see a lot clearer than I expected. I found that everything they say in their information is correct. I took a two hour nap after surgery and woke up looking around and able to read everything I looked at without glasses or contacts. Six hours after surgery my wife and I decided to have a date night and we went and watched a movie at the movie theater. Only six hours after surgery! And I was able to see the movie wonderfully. I showed up three days later for my follow up appointment and I was seeing 20/15 vision. This was One of the best investments I ever made. Thank you LasikPlus and Dr. Ellis for an amazing job!
This place is great I went from a very high prescription to 20/20 in a matter of minutes. The procedure itself did not hurt and took about a minute in each eye. The hospitality was great. I would recommend this to anyone that wears glasses or contacts especially if you have a high prescription like I did.
From the consultation, through the procedure, and the follow up, I've had nothing but positive experiences from this place. The initial exam is very thorough, they give you all the information you need to know if you're a candidate, and best of all, it's free, so there's no commitment. I'm thrilled with the results, and feel comforted knowing if I ever need to return for adjustments, it's free! Highly recommend LasikPlus!
