Came in for my consultation on Thursday, surgery scheduled for Friday and consultation on Saturday. Thank you LasikPlus Dallas for the amazing quick and convenient service!! Dr. Chad was amazing for my consultant and follow-up. Dr. Smith was the absolute best for the procedure! So quick and a pleasant experience. Dr. Smith made the surgery so fun and an amazing experience!!! Thank you so much, 100% recommended!
Thank you so much! I love my new vision. It was pretty amazing today to wake up and be able to see clearly. Your staff was lovely. It is amazing what an easy, pain free procedure this is. I wish I would have done it 30 years ago. Thank you!
Great experience so far. Had better vision than I have ever had in my life within 48 hours after the surgery (which lasted maybe 5 minutes). Just make sure to follow all of their instructions and the outcome will turn out great.
Top notch place all the way across the board! The whole staff was very professional and made my process from the beginning to the end very smooth! As for my eyes, I can see perfect! Dr. Smith was awesome, he walked me through exactly how everything would happen and it went down just like he said. I highly recommend LasikPlus and Dr. Smith!
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!
