LasikPlus Reviews on Google
This place did a good job in correcting my vision. I was able to see 20/20 the next day. All the workers there are friendly and have good customer service, which is something I appreciated. The only issue I have with the place is getting my inside the building. The doors are locked unless you work there and can badge in. A easy workaround is just knocking on the window or giving them a call. Other than that, I do recommend this place.
This place is absolutely phenomenal, I had the surgery same day! I personally as a younger person love when I walk in to a doctors office and am able to relate to the office staff, most down to earth people ever! Not only was the surgery quick I am seeing better than 20/20 as well (20/15) to be exact and could not be happier, and the plaza is lovely, right next to one of the largest malls in Florida, love love love!
I couldn't have asked for a better place to get my Lasik surgery done at than LasikPlus. Everyone there is so patient, kind, and attentive. They are all so supportive and were constantly making sure all of my questions were answered and that I felt comfortable throughout the whole process. I have wanted Lasik surgery from the moment I first got glasses over 13 years ago. However, I was still nervous about the procedure. But the whole process was a breeze and I felt comfortable and confident the whole time. The consultation was very informative and assuring that I was a good candidate for the procedure. The day of the surgery was so smooth. I was still nervous but everyone there walks you through everything and they all soothed my nerves. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Groden. He was so kind and is truly an incredible surgeon. During the surgery, he talks you through everything that is happening and ensures you that everything is going well. The whole LasikPlus team was just absolutely incredible and I can't thank them and Dr. Groden enough for giving me the blessing that is perfect vision and for giving me a truly wonderful experience in the process. I cannot recommend them enough!
