The only thing I can say bad about my experience is I should of had it done sooner! From start to finish the ENTIRE team at LasikPlus have been fantastic. I went in on a Monday for my free consultation and had my procedure done on Friday. I never felt rush or pressured to make a decision, I felt very informed of every single thing that was going to happen. Every single staff member was courteous and extremely helpful, from the front office staff who checks you to the surgeon and every staff member in between! They have a fantastic set-up. The best part of all after 30 years of wearing contacts and glasses I drove myself to my follow-up appointment the next day without any corrective lenses! I was able to see 20/15 the very next day, that is amazing to me. The procedure itself was super quick and painless. Thank you again LasikPlus!
For 37 year I have been pretty much legally blind, but thanks to the great staff and doctors at LasikPlus I can finally see, without the need of my coke bottles and contacts. I was hesitant at first to even go in for a consultation, since my prescription was so bad. I thought it was a waste of time, but I’m glad I did. The staff and doctors were great! Dr. Smith did a great job. For the first time in my life I can actually see, and it’s only been 7 hours since my surgery. Thank you guys! Oh yeah... did I mention this was the best money ever spent. Very inexpensive and affordable. I will recommend everyone to y’all. And when my kids are eligible they will be going as well.
Like a well oiled machine! These guys are fabulous. A great experience! Went with the mono vision. I’m 63 and was skeptical of what I could do. Right eye reading , left distance. Super great. I now can apply make up ( not for a week though) without a 10x mirror! And I can drive without glasses! I’m a happy woman. Special shout out to Amber. She made us ( husband had his procedure last summer) feel like family, as did the entire staff!
I had a great experience at LasikPlus! I’ve worn glasses since Kindergarten and was able to go in for a consultation and there was no doubt that I was not going to go through with the procedure. The staff was so kind and always very energetic and helpful! And Dr. Smith was very efficient and professional during the surgery! I highly recommend coming to get your free consultation and changing your vision/life for the better!
Wonderful experience! The staff and doctors are very friendly and knowledgeable. They were transparent and properly communicated what I could expect before, during, and after my procedure. Had my follow up today and that was painless. Would definitely recommend LasikPlus (especially this location). Thanks y’all!
