LasikPlus Reviews on Google
Everyone is nice & pleasant to talk to. They walked me through everything step by step including details so I'll know what to. The free consultation is actually free so there's no catch. The procedure itself only took about 10 minutes. My eyes were red from the procedure just like they said but I was able to see the same day. Overall they were great.
They did a phenomenal job… seriously this was easier than your annual checkup and I don’t say that lightly because I have a phobia when it comes to my eyes. I could never wear contacts, hated wearing glasses and my eyes finally got tired enough of my nonsense so I decided to look into this. I read every review, and obsessed over it for a few days before my appointment. They were able to book my procedure only two days later. The staff were so sweet and the doctors were very informative, eased any concerns. The procedure itself was not at all as bad as I had in mind, a few minutes and the whole thing is over. My husband was even able to watch! I went home, slept and woke up able to see things better than ever before! I teared up a little today seeing dolphins in the distance that I never would have noticed… what an incredible thing! Thank you all so much! You were all fantastic! If you’re reading these reviews just get it done! I swore I never could and I’m so happy I did!
Finally decided to make the change, I’m only 3 days after surgery writing this with my new and improved vision. Excellent and kind staff. Doctor who operated was very calming by describing everything you should be experiencing while under the laser system. Total 10/10 would recommend.
I just got home from my follow up appointment (which only took a total of 10 minutes from when I walked in to when I walked out) and my vision is now 20/15! Every person in the office is so kind and make it a comfortable environment. During the procedure, Dr. Groden talked me through everything he was doing, which really helped relieve my anxiety. It was painless and quick! I've already recommended getting this done to my family and friends!
Incredible environment, staff made me feel safe and informed from start to finish. The procedure itself was straight forward and the staff made sure I was comfortable the whole way through. 100/10 would recommend to anyone
