AMAZING staff. Couldn’t ask for a better team to help me with my Lasik. Astounded by the absolutely tremendous customer service through out the whole process. They made me feel right at home! Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else! This is the place to go!!! Lifetime warrantee, great people, great memories and laughs along the way. I can’t tell you enough how great of an experience I had. 10/10 worth the money and time. Shout out to Katie for holding my hands!
I had my lasik consultation. It was very fast and never sitting for more than 5 mins. The staff at the oakdale location killed it with customer service!
It's been two years this month since my surgery. I am beyond grateful for my 20/20 eyesight. A million thanks!!
