LasikPlus Reviews on Google
I would highly recommend this lasik office. First, the cost is unbeatable. Even though it was the cheapest place, the service was not compromised. The staff was amazing!!! Joanna and Lucy took care of my husband and me. They where are the best health professionals that I have ever met.
I absolutely recommend getting Lasik here. I qualified for that $250/eye promotion (I know, I also thought it was made up!) and that made it extremely affordable for me. The staff were excellent and very professional. After a 6 hour post-op nap I could already see better than I had before, and by my follow up 3 days later I could read 20/15. I am so glad I finally did it.
I had my free consultation last week. I was greeted kindly and all my questions were answered. The staff carefully explained to me everything about the tests and the surgery itself. I left with no questions and more confidence in the procedure. I am having my surgery done today as of writing this review. I am nervous, but also excited. I highly recommend those who are looking into Lasik to check out LasikPlus in Lakewood. You are treated more than just a customer, but a guest that everyone is happy to help.
LasikPlus in Lakewood is like no other place. Dr Straub was so pleasant, calming and comforting through the quick but thorough process. Every single person who works there is so professional, friendly and clearly very hard workers. They don't miss a beat, everything just runs so smoothly here, I am so pleased to be able to drive, watch TV, go to a Rockies game and more without uncomfortable contacts or glasses. Thank you so much for taking great care of me!
Dr. Straub literally held my hand through the procedure and talked me through it. He and the techs were great about constantly vocalizing what was happening throughout. And now I can see great without glasses which is awesome as I could not wear contacts!
