LasikPlus Reviews on Google
I was not manipulated to write this review. Be sure to have 4K prepared with discounts included. The staff members were so friendly and they were so calming. The procedure went perfectly. They talked me through everything and answered ALL of my questions. When I came back for the follow up, they remembered me and my name and even gave me a free t-shirt (although, I believe I paid for it already). 2 days in with very little irritation and 20/20 vision. It’s still unbelievable. I understand why they receive 5 stars now. I’ll definitely recommend the Plano location for anyone interested.
I had my pressure on Thursday December 31 2020. It was the best thing I had decided having my 20/20 vision back and I love it, thank you so much to lasik plus I have my pressure done so fast.. it's crazy to know that it only took one day to have my vision back. Thank you so much lasik plus. I highly recommend if you thinking about it do it.
They have exceptional customer service skills from the moment you walk in the front door....to the moment you take your after pic with the Dr and they help you out the door and on to recover. I never realized how bad my eye sight was until now. Recovery has been a breeze and my follow up appointment was eye opening. (No pun intended) Thank you To Dr Smith and the entire staff of LasikPlus for making this experience great from beginning to end.
Great people!!
