Was extremely nervous and they made me feel so welcomed and a nurse even held my hand through the procedure! I'm 4 days post OP and I already have 20/20 and still improving! Amazing staff. I would highly recommend going to this place.
This place is the bee’s knees! The staff is fun, knowledgeable, easy going, and get my poor attempt at humor. Not once did I feel they were pressuring me into some sort of up-charge either. The office is super clean, inviting, and professional. It was unreliable how fast I was able to get assessed, and then had my surgery in less than a week. And I was in and out of the surgery in less than 10 minutes! These guys actually CARE about doing the right thing for your eyesight, and that is obvious when you go through the process. There was no pain involved, at all. My eye wasn’t even irritated after the surgery. Doctor Ellis has done over 70,000 of these treatments to this point, and you should help him get to that 100,000 mark that he has his eye on! (No pun intended). I would give this company, the entire staff, and the whole process 1000 stars if that was an option, but today we will have to settle for 5. Use me as a referral and one of the staff members will tell you a joke that will leave you in stitches. Thank you for reading, and thanks to lasik plus for my amazing new vision!
I couldn’t be more ecstatic about my new vision!! This place is amazing. Everyone is incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Thank you so much, Dr. Ellis and everyone at LasikPlus! I feel truly blessed to have had this procedure and I would recommend it to anyone!
I did this procedure and it was the best choice I have made. I went in for a consultation and the next day I was able to get my procedure done that fast! I was seeing better than I was with glasses or contacts that very same night. Dr.Ellis and all the others working there are very professional and can answer any questions you have!
LasikPlus is fabulous! I had my consultation and "surgery" in the same day. The staff is wonderful and helpful. I had some slight issues healing with one of my eyes but they helped me through and answered all my questions as I had them. Now my vision is better than I ever dreamed. It's not cheap but was worth every penny! Highly recommend!
