I had a wonderful experience. I am very astonished by their customer service. I came in for my consultation, and they provided lots of information. They were very eager to help. The staff were very nice and professional. Also, They were able to work with my schedule. Overall I’m very happy with my experience.
I give my Highest Recommendation to Dr. Smith and his Team. They were tremendous from the Front Desk to the Surgery Room. I could not believe when he helped me up from the table that I could already SEE and READ a sign on the wall across from me.. I have gotten better each day!!! It is such a UNBELIEVABLE, AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO!!! WHAT A JOYOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU ALL TO GIVE BACK TO SO MANY!!!
They explained everything that was going to happen. Less then 24 hours he has the same vision as he did with his glasses. It will get better as he heals. I have nothing to complain about. Everyone is VERY helpful and so friendly. I tell everyone about it.
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 :)
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.
