LasikPlus Reviews on Google
I have had nothing short of the best experience here at Lasik Plus in Plano. From my consultation, all the way to my post operation appointments, I have been treated with such kindness and patience. The whole staff is amazing!! Dr. Smith is such a great surgeon, he completed my surgery with such time efficiency. I was thoroughly walked through all steps and carefully instructed there after on how to care for my eyes. All in all, a great experience and I send my warmest and most sincere, thank you! 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!
100% recommend. Nurses and Doctor were great. My experience was great. Eyes started burning...as previously warned...on the way home. Took my 4hr nap as instructed and woke up 100% fine. No pain. Eyes felt somewhat swollen but already have amazing vision and am so happy I did it!! Been in glasses since 4th grade and wish I would have done it years ago.
Great people!!
I had a great experience at this lasikplus. All the staff at lasik plus were polite and helpful and were very patient answering all my questions. I had a consultation on Monday and was able to schedule my surgery the following Thursday. A day after and my vision already looks perfect!
