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!
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.
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!
Great experience here! Everyone was so friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend to family and friends! Set up my free consultation where I was talked through options and if I was a good candidate for LASIK surgery. Set up my surgery date for the week after. I got my surgery literally yesterday and can see so much more clearly now! I’ve lived with glasses since elementary school and have been completely reliant on glasses and contacts since until yesterday! I honestly almost cried after the surgery was complete because even though things were still blurry, I could already tell a difference. I was walked through aftercare procedures thoroughly and just had my follow-up appointment today, which also went very smoothly. Amber is awesome, by the way! She hooked me up with a nice discount! Super grateful to be able to see so much more clearly. 👀😎
