LasikPlus Reviews on Google
Incredible experience. I was a -5.3 and -3.85 with an astigmatism. Making an appointment was easy, the free consult was quick, easy and very informative. The staff was nice and professional. Dr smith explained everything in detail before the actual procedure. The procedure itself was so quick! Had my done on a Friday, And I walked out that day. Went in for my follow up on the following Monday and I now have 20/15 vision ! So amazing. Would recommend 100%. Not sure why I waited so long to take the plunge.
Went in on Monday for a consult and they were able to get me in Friday! It was a very clean and safe facility especially during the pandemic. I felt like the staff were very friendly and helpful when it came to any questions or concerns I had about lasik. When I came in for my procedure yesterday, It all was fairly quick. Went in a room for my numbing drops, they double checked my eyes and I waited for the doctor. When he came in to greet me, I was whisked away to the laser room. Once I got in the first bed, it all went SO quick. Then the next bed, even quicker and then I was pretty much done. So far, so good the next day. Hope it all holds up without any side effects. Even if there are any, I doubt it's their fault. Just apart of getting a procedure. There are always some cons. However, I drove to my appointment just fine and could actually see the signs! If you are thinking of lasik, this place is a great place to look to! Also, I didn't have to show them a review to get a shirt. This is all my personal experience and a true review. I'll update if anything goes horribly wrong. Thank you again LasikPlus for my improved vision!!! 😍
For most of my life I've relied on contacts and glasses and it's the best feeling ever to be able to see first thing in the morning! They really made me feel comfortable and answered any questions I had. The staff that helped me was amazing and I highly recommend this location! The process was surprisingly quick and easy!
A TOTAL LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE. EXCELLENT SERVICE AND PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR PATIENTS. DR. SMITH AND HIS STAFF ARE GREAT AND SO VERY PROFESSIONAL. A QUALITY ORGANIZATION AND PEOPLE WITH INTEGRITY. PAUL MAY
I have worn glasses for the last 48 years of my life. I had a lot of anxiety about having the Lasik surgery. The staff at LasikPlus were very comforting. The level of professionalism they displayed allowed me to trust them. I had the most outstanding experience. My vision has improved so much its unbelievable. I would recommend them to everyone. They are the best!
