LasikPlus Reviews on Google
10/10 recommend! They did everything they said they would! I got my Lasik surgery yesterday and despite the couple of hours of pain in 1 of my eyes, I would do it again. I pretty much have 20/20 vision now and it’s awesome! Great discount off the price too! Great doctor and staff! They really know what they are doing and helped ease my nerves!
In / out very quickly for the procedure. The initial appointment took a little long. The post-op appointment was literally 15 minutes. So far I'm very happy with the outcome, one eye is 20/20 the other eye is 20/30, but over the next few months it should be even better.
Never in all my years wearing contacts/glasses would I have thought I would be able to see clearly without them! Thank you to Dr.Smith and team to making this possible! The process was super simple and fast it is amazing!! If you are thinking of getting lasik get it, it is the best decision you could make.
