They were the BEST! I had my eye surgery in November. I was so scared of the whole process but they made me feel so comfortable! They answered all my questions. They took their time and didn't rush me at all. Everyone was so nice! As soon as you walk in they make you feel so welcome. I would highly recommend to everyone.

Amazing!!! Dr Heuer and all the staff at LasikPlus did an awesome job. They are friendly, professional and proficient. I’m extremely satisfied with with LasikPlus. I have been wanting to have this procedure for more than 15 years and I was finally able to get it done. I was really excited when I started this journey and strangely right before the surgery my nerves kicked in and made me question weather or not I wanted to go through with it. I faced those doubts head on and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thanks to all the staff for making this experience so wonderful.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. Great experience. Worked with Joanna who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Surgery was easy. The doctor makes you feel calm and comfortable and talks you through each process. I can now see 20-15.

Everyone was super helpful and super polite the whole time. Even though they could tell I was nervous they still did whatever they could to help me feel comfortable. During the procedure they were still all so polite and friendly and they never got irritated with me. It was the best decision I’ve ever made and I’m glad I made it with them.

I was dreading the procedure and almost cancelled. I am so glad I did not! It went really quick, and I felt no pain at all. I felt a little bit like I had a hair in my eye after the numbing drops were off, but I went to sleep and slept 10 hours. I woke up with my left eye feeling a bit dry when I blinked but it went away about 18 hours after the procedure. I was really amazed how well it went. The next day driving it was a nice feeling to drive and see everything without glasses! All the staff were extremely nice and helpful. The doctor put any anxiety I had to rest as soon as I walked in the room.
