Great experience beginning to end with my corrective surgery. I came out with better than 20/20 vision the morning after my surgery. The staff was helpful throughout the whole process answering all my questions. Would highly recommend to anyone! Such an easy procedure.
Experience was great from the start.. was very nervous but they were comforting. All the nurses and assistants were very helpful. Joanna answered all my questions. I am 2 days post op and just feel so amazed that I can see. All together best decision I ever made. Thank you thank you
What a great time! You keep seeing that, people. We're talking about doctors here. "Great time at the doctors", let that sink in... After watching a video, Olga did a number of tests to make sure I was a suitable candidate. She was very confident and reassuring and the whole process felt comfortable. After that, Dr Charisma (maybe not actual name) will do some final tests and again instill confidence that these people know what they're doing and care about every person that comes in. Obviously the procedure made me nervous, we've always been told NOT to look at lasers, but again the staff makes you feel very comfortable. It was an incredible, quick process in the end. It was actually a beautiful thing to see. After a nap, my vision was better. I swear it was the minor irritation that made me tear up when I realized I could see without plastic on my face. We're talking hours later, people. At work the next day I was seeing better than I ever have in my life and I can tell it's getting better every day as it heals. Get the procedure! Olga and the rest of the staff really do want you to see better, and they'll make it happen!
The staff was very educating and comforting. I was definitely nervous but the surgeon talked me through the whole thing which helped a lot and it was super fast! I’m on Day 2 with my new perfect vision and my eyes feel better than they did when I wore contacts. I wish I did this sooner! -3.75 in both eyes with a slight astigmatism.
Everyone was super helpful and friendly. They’re very organized. They make the whole process easy. Very grateful for my experience there. Highly recommend this place!
