LasikPlus Reviews on Google
From the moment I went to get consultation until my post-procedure checkup, the staff was friendly. I never felt like my health was at risk (staff and patients wore masks, temperatures taken, seating 6 feet apart, cleaned each machine before/after). Staff answered all questions I had and made me feel comfortable with what was going to happen. I had Lasik done, and it took about a week for my vision to stabilize, but I was able to drive home from my parents' house the day after the procedure was done. It wasn't particularly painful -- the pressure when cutting the flap is definitely the worst part but it's over in a few seconds on each eye. Now, it's been nearly a month and I can see perfectly. I still have to put lubricating drops in regularly, but the dryness is definitely going away already. Only complaint is a very small one -- they give you 4 boxes of drops which is 100 single-use vials. However, you have to use two vials a day for 90 days since they're only good for 8 hours a day. I'll have to buy more separately. Hardly a big deal, just something to consider. Over all, I'm delighted! I see as well as I did with contacts and better than I did with glasses without any of the irritation and frustration.
My only complaint was the wait time which was the longest process. Anticipate giving 4-5hours of your time in the waiting room... The positives: Staff is friendly and bubbly. The surgeon is quick, knowledgeable and they will do their best to ensure you have an enjoyable experience. The actual procedure is very quick. I would recommend them.
So glad I did not go with Georgia Eye Associates! This experience was so much better and pleasant ! I couldn't see my phone clear without my glasses and now I can see down the block in less than 48hours. First day after surgery I literally just had to sleep all day the next day I was feeling better just slept a little more and by the third day I was back to normal! I am so happy I am glasses/contacts free!
Upon my first visit, Ashley set me at ease. She answered all my questions. Dr. Patel was kind and thorough. She thoroughly explained the procedure and guided me to the best procedure for my eyes. Surgery was scheduled quickly. The reception area was clean and run efficiently. Dr. Smith was wonderful. I was very nerveous and my small eyes made his job a little more difficult but he was calm and counted down so I would be aware when each step was over. I highly recommend Dr. Smith and LasikPlus.
