Great staff - friendly doctors and surgeons! I would 100% suggest setting up a free consultation and seeing if you’re a candidate. Well worth the money. Goodbye glasses!
Super positive experience from start to finish! I'm seeing better than 20/20 and had the procedure done only 24 hours ago!
I absolutely love this place! Excellent staff and very fast and pain free procedure. Honestly I don’t ever remember seeing this well. Thank you !!!
Awesome experience at LasikPlus in Oakdale! I am so happy with every aspect of my treatment, and all of the people who helped me through the process were exceptional. I could not have asked for better results or better vision! I highly recommend LasikPlus to anyone considering Lasik!
I have had glasses for 25 years. I was super excited to find out I was able to get Lasik as my prescription was almost a -6 in both eyes with an astigmatism. I contemplated the procedure for years and finally took the leap. The consult was thorough and they didn't leave any questions unanswered. Everyone from walking in the door to completing the procedure were SUPER nice and always made sure I was happy. I was able to go home, rest, and then wake up to being able to finally see without stumbling around for my glasses. Today was check up day and im seeing 20/15! Definitely recommend the procedure to anyone who has been sitting on the fence. Take the free consult and guarantee you will walk out with and appointment for surgery!
