“My LASIK philosophy centers around the patient and their individual needs and concerns. Our team provides an environment of comfort and understanding while having fun with what we’ve been entrusted to do. It’s AMAZING to see patients so overwhelmed by FINALLY being able to see without glasses or contacts for the first time in their lives.” J. Ryan Brewer, D.O

My husband did it and loved it! He wished he would have had this procedure done sooner! The staff was always very nice and the procedure was painless and so quick, just like a blink of an eye!
My lasik experience was uncomplicated and quick. I did my research in advance and applied for the care credit before, knowing that if approved I’d have the means to pay. I scheduled a next day appointment and went in and got everything cleared. The staff was friendly and the location was clean and corona-safe. The measures they’ve taken to ensure your safety are top notch. I now have clear vision and it was a pain free experience. I would def recommend LasikPlus to anyone and everyone due to the amazing experience I had with them.
I had wanted this for the last 5 or more years, and I finally got LASIK this month after I watched the video of clients right after their procedure. I did a same day consultation and procedure, and it was a phenomenal experience. The office is comfy with easy parking. The staff are very friendly and helpful. And the surgeon, Dr. Brewer, has an impeccable combination of command presence and bedside manner. Everyone was so warm, professional and comforting. My procedure took what felt like maybe eight and a half minutes. I'd describe the sensations as "weird" and kind of annoying. On par or even less annoying than a dental filling. Way easier than an obstetric or gynecologic event! If you've been afraid, don't sweat it. Just go. Three days later and I'm seeing 20\15 when I've lived with a -5.5 prescription for 37 years. Recovery is three days of "dry contact lenses' sensation. Dude. Just go.
Every interaction I had at this location exceeded my expectations. Check in, intake, and consultation were courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I highly recommend Dr La and team. The online notification system could use some work. I never got an email appt confirmation and got a text reminder morning of. Seems like more a corporate issue as opposed to this location.
