My initial consult went very smoothly, took about 90min total very similar to a regular eye exam and they go over all the aspects of what to expect for the surgery day of and post op and all financial obligations. Very helpful and hassle free! I'm currently 1 week post op. I had my surgery on a Thursday, went back to work the next day, and enjoyed a beach day (no swimming) the next! Very happy with my experience thus far!
This place is great. I went from wearing 1/2 inch thick glasses (no lie) to having my favorite part of the day be reading fine print. Everyone was friendly and answered all the questions before I even asked them. The doctor was professional and talks you through all the steps while they are happening which is very assuring. They also had the best deal around the Tampa area. I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone (except those few people with naturally perfect vision).
I was surprised when I walked into the office for my free consultation. They have a nice waiting area with free coffee. It’s a place where I don’t mind waiting a little. The front desk staff is friendly. The nurse I had was also nice and knowledgeable. The same is true for the doctor I met with. They also use technology for check-in / new patient questionnaire. Lastly, they provided sound advice. They presented options and made a recommendation that was not based on making the most money. Their recommendation was a less expensive option than all the options available.
Thank you for giving me the gift of clear eyesight. It’s priceless to me since I have worn glasses since I was five years old. Great job, great staff. All the best to you and your team
I did A LOT of research before choosing Lasik Plus. I started with my Eye Doc, talked to people who had it done, and researched on line. My first impression of this very busy office was the organization! The people are very helpful and the wait times are minimal which is, I feel, because of their excellent team work! I was nervous about the procedure, but the Doctor and the staff are great at keeping you informed of what will happen which is very calming. I could see instantly after the surgery, which was amazing after wearing glasses for over 45 years! Follow their advise and nap when you get home. It really helps. The only suggestion I would have is to have a written procedure on the eye drops and the times to use them. I was kind of confused about it after getting home.
