LasikPlus Reviews on Google
I had my procedure on Friday the 7th. The surgery was quick and the doctor lets you know exactly what is going to happen each step of the way. My eyes felt pretty healed after two days. I can already see clearly except everything seems to be a little bit brighter than usual. Now just waiting for my 1st month check in. I’m so excited to never have to wear glasses or look for my lost glasses. I did the lifetime plan so I feel very re-assured if something goes wrong that I can call them back.
I recently had my surgery done at this location and I will have to say I’m delighted by the splendid services I’ve been provided with. The whole staff team has been beyond helpful and easy to work with. Definitely recommending it to everyone who is interested. The doctor was very patient in guiding you through the whole procedure and explaining exactly what was going on.
Going to LasikPlus in Rockville has been such an amazing experience! ALL the staff, doctors, and the surgeon were welcoming, informative, kind, and helpful! I was very nervous about doing this but they made sure I was comfortable each step of the way! I had this done yesterday afternoon and I am here this morning for my check up and I can tell you that my eyes do not hurt and I CAN SEE WONDERFULLY without contacts or glasses!!! If you have been debating or unsure about getting this done make that leap! I don’t think you will ever regret it!!!!!
I had my procedure with Dr. Houghtaling a couple weeks ago and everything went so well! I have been in glasses for over 24 years and have never been able to see without them. When I opened my eyes right after the procedure, I could see for the first time. I now have 20/20 vision!! All staff members are extremely helpful and kind. Highly recommend!
