Oh my goodness, there aren’t enough kind words to say! From the moment I scheduled the initial appointment on the phone to my last check up appointment, the ENTIRE staff was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient. They were just excited for me as I was for myself! In less than 2 weeks I was able to complete my procedure and they went above and beyond to fit into my schedule, not the other way around. Even behind masks, you could tell they were smiling. They even offered to take my photo when I got to drop my glasses into the jar! Not only was this an absolutely life changing procedure for me, but it was the most seamless process. I will absolutely be referring everyone I know here for all their lasik needs. Seriously- such an amazing place!!!

Got my exam and surgery done in the same day. If you do this, expect to do your exam first then do the surgery about 3-4 hours later (for eye dilation). The surgery went really well, though it was a bit more than I expected (probably because I didn't listen 100% to their explanation of how it would go)... Either way, I can see perfectly (20/20) with no problems. Day 1 will be more foggy or fuzzy (just a little), but you're fine the next day. Recommend it :)

I had a great experience here. They provide lots of information on what to expect from the procedure and send informative videos. My procedure was performed by Dr. Heuer and it was over in less than 10 minutes! I was able to drive and get out the following day. I love not needing contacts or glasses anymore. I wish I had done this sooner!

👁 Dr. Straub did an amazing job! I’m 36 hours out of surgery and I’m already 20/15 with both eyes (individually the eyes are 20/20 and 20/15)! Magic it seems...I can see! All of the people that work here are fantastic!! 😁
