LasikPlus Reviews on Google
Choosing LasikPlus was the best decision ever! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, they make the process slot smoother. The procedure was fast and painless. Dr. Smith was amazing and helps you feel comfortable the whole time. Immediately after the surgery I sat up and could see perfectly. So glad I finally decided to do this procedure. Recover was quick and easy, just follow the simple instructions they give you. I’ve worn glasses and contacts for over 15 years and I’m excited to be done with them and have 20/20 vision.
I did a lot of research before choosing to do lasik and LasikPlus was the best decision! The staff is friendly and welcoming and very helpful, especially if you're nervous like I was. it was a quick and simple procedure and right off the bat I could see perfectly, I actually cried because it's been years since I've been able to see clearly without glasses or contacts! this was definitely the best choice and LasikPlus is the best place to have it done!! Will recommend to all I know
I am so happy i decided to go through with this procedure. Its amazing to be able to see all the time with no glasses or contacts. The procedure did not hurt and was very quick. Its a little uncomfortable but no pain. The Dr. Smith was gentle and quick and really knew what he was doing. He walked me through every step. The 4-5hrs after the procedure are a little painful. It will feel like sand in your eyes. But that little 4-5 hrs of pain is totally worth the outcome. Perfect vision..i have no regrets and would do it again for this same out come. I recommend this place to anyone wanting lasik.
If you are considering LASIK, you MUST check this company out. Dr. Smith is very professional, but extremely helpful and his staff is second to none. I was apprehensive about the surgery but they put my mind at ease. Very cost efficient and have a life time warranty. Also have financing. Very glad I had this done at this location!
