Life changing experience! 28 years of bad vision gone in under 20 minutes! Everyone was extremely friendly and informative. They didn’t make me feel like I was just another patient. They were just as excited for me as I was and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend LasikPlus! Amazing results! Thank you Dr. Straub and your terrific team at the Lakewood facility!

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!

Great experience and such a helpful staff. They answered all my questions throughout the process and after my procedure. Lasik feels strange, not bad, but definitely weird. Would highly recommend because the outcome is worth the few minutes of strange. I'm glad I finally got this completed.

I live in Wyoming and traveled down to get lasik from LasikPlus. They did my consultation and surgery the same day and had a follow up the very next day. From scheduling the appointment to the follow up appointment the schedulers, the assistants, and the doctors every was so nice helpful. The surgery was extremely fast and felt more like pressure than pain. The two hours after the surgery my eye were very watery and felt like sand in my eyes but after two hour it felt better and I was able to see clear with no glasses or contacts after a 6 hour nap. It's so amazing they can do this! And it's really a life changing procedure. I was able to resume normal activities the next day. Highly recommend LasikPlus in Lakewood, CO!

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!
