LasikPlus Reviews on Google
LasikPlus has wonderful employees who take their time with you. With me, they were very thorough and answered all my questions. I enjoyed my experience with them. The surgery itself was painless, quick, and I felt comfortable going into the whole thing. They gave me a discount and helped make sure I was prepared even having to reschedule my surgery several times while I was taking training classes for work. After going to three other lasik places for consultations, LasikPlus was my favorite and made sure they had the correct status on my eyes to ensure what was best. I enjoyed the experience with the staff here, it really makes the difference :)
My experience with this facility was great! The staff is very friendly and answered any questions that I had. My procedure was easy enough and all went well. I was a little nervous, but the staff made me feel completely comfortable. I would definitely recommend! Also my aunt got her procedure here as well and it went smoothly just like my procedure.
Amazing, never imagined eyes could see so clear and far. Outstanding job well done. Like I’m seeing for the first time. Excellent staff and customer service. Everyone was so kind and informative very professional 5 star experience. Thank you lasik plus. I highly recommend them.
The staff is very helpful, informative and friendly. Dr. Smith was super nice and made me feel at ease before my procedure. I also liked that they have a 24 hour emergency line you can call if you have any issues or pressing questions after your surgery.
After years of wearing glasses and contact lenses. It was an amazing experience to be able to be contacts and glasses free. The staff is AMAZING, super friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. They make the process so easy from beginning to end. I define recommended this place to perform your LASIK surgery.
