Everything about my experience was great! Amazing staff and amazing Doctor! Answered all of my questions and more importantly they were able to squeeze me in last minute to work with my schedule. It’s only been the day after and I can somewhat ready 20/15!

These guys made me feel super comfortable. They talked me through the entire procedure and kept me informed about what was happening at all times. Life changing!

I went in Monday for my exam, I had my surgery booked for Wednesday morning at 8am, they had me come back at 4pm that same day to do my check up. I was seeing 20/15 already in total 20/15 with my left only and 20/20 with my right only. It’s been 4 days now and my vision is still a little fuzzy but way better than it was with contacts! Can’t wait to see how much better it’s going to be in the coming weeks and months until full potential is obtained.

I’m extremely happy with the results. I can’t believe I did not hear about LasikPlus before! It’s life changing it’s the day after my procedure, and I could not have asked for better results! The team at this location is incredible, knowledgeable, and make the experience the best it could be. Thank you guys for everything!

Such an easy and quick experience! Incredibly friendly staff and overall positive experience. The price held me back for a long time, but it is absolutely worth it. I wish I had done it sooner - being able to see without my glasses is probably one of the best feelings ever!
