Best decision ever! While I could see with glasses or contacts being able to see without the hassle of them has been incredible. I highly recommend LasikPlus! Staff is friendly and every appointment has been quick and on time.

I was nervous about the procedure, but the staff made the experience very pleasant and comfortable. Like Paul being healed of his blindness, it was a miracle. Truly Jesus is at work here; Peace, kindness, compassion, and working miracles is what my experience was.

Shout out to Lasik Plus in Creve Couer! Had my Lasik surgery done on 3/24 and feel amazing the next day. Able to drive with very minimal discomfort throughout the day. Amazing experience by the entire crew from consult to surgery. Sarah walked me through my consult and explained everything to set my expectations appropriately. It was great to see her in surgery as well helping Dr. Ellis with the procedure. Dr. Gaines is so sweet and kind through the eye exam and follow up appointment. I saw Dr. Ellis during surgery and he was very gentle and thorough during the procedure. The surgery crew was quick and super kind. Procedure took maybe 5 minutes total. 10/10 would recommend this team

I saw a good deal through my vision insurance and somewhat impulsively signed up for a virtual consultation. Everybody was so nice to me. The whole process was complete within basically 2 weeks of me first reaching out. Couldn’t believe it. I was met with patience, kindness, and genuine excitement for me that I was about to see perfectly!
