LasikPlus Reviews on Google
I HIGHLY recommend LasikPlus! I wish I would have done it sooner. I had my free consultation on Thursday and had the procedure done the following day. It’s 3 days later now and it’s so wonderful not having to worry about glasses or contacts. The laser procedure was way quicker and easier than I expected. If you’re thinking about getting it done, DO IT! Dr. Smith is amazing!
I had a wonderful experience at LasikPlus! Everyone was extremely nice and professional including Dr. Smith, who did an impeccable job on my eyes. I honestly feel like I got my life back! I can’t thank this clinic enough for their excellent customer service and amazing staff! Highly recommend!!
My brother found Dr. Smith several years ago, so when I finally decided to get Lasik, I knew where to go! The process was incredibly quick yet informative. I had all questions answered thoroughly, usually before I even asked. The surgery was fast and professional. Following the after surgery nap at home, I was seeing clearly on my own, without glasses for the first time in 21 years! Thank you LasikPlus!
Made an appointment for a consult after told I was not a candidate due to my strong farsighted prescription and astigmatism. They got me in the same day, and it took less than 2hrs for the consult, pre-op, and procedure. Staff were absolutely amazing. The surgeon was competent, and easy to work with. I left the office feeling well-informed, and already seeing better than I did before while using glasses.
Getting LASIK is truly the best investment I have ever made. I’ve needed glasses for 21 years, and I feel so free now that I don’t need them anymore. Everybody I dealt with was completely professional, nice, and helpful. They are also so fast and efficient! I had an exam and the procedure, and was on my way home within about 2 hours. Just do it! You will not regret it, as it is a gift that will just keep on giving. Thank you to all of the team at LasikPlus in Plano! I will be forever grateful.
