I highly recommend! The staff at this location is amazing! They made me feel so comfortable. Their personable and extremely knowledgable. I am so glad I did it. You will too!! ?? Best decision I've ever made!
Everything was great, went quick great experience with them
I can't thank the wonderful staff here enough for helping me through my fears ?? Today I can see out of my own eyes ? and its a trip! They said at my check up today medically my eyes are healing great and my vision is 20/20 ??? I can not say enough wonderful things about Dr Awad ? Not only is he AMAZING at what he does but while they were very busy with back to back surgeries all day he took just a few minutes to just talk to me n help me calm down before the surgery...he's just a lovely human!! Thank you all so much! I've waited 20+ years for this and I'm so glad I was able to do it!! ?
The entire process was so easy and seamless! The staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe. I wish I would have done this years ago!
From start to finish, I?ve never felt more confident in my decision than I did with the LASIK team. Consultation was thorough and answered every little question I had without batting an eye. All details were explained with care and caution to ensure I understood everything. Come the day of the procedure, surprisingly no nerves at all! The team is such a well oiled machine, they really take the time with each patient. Dr. Awad made sure to go into detail on expectations in the room and talked me through everything. I cannot thank Dr. Awad and his team enough for truly changing my life! I never thought I would have the guts to get the procedure and I?m just mad I never did it sooner! Thank you just doesn?t seem to cut it; I?ll forever be grateful for your amazing gift!
