Absolutely the best experience! Dr.Smith and the entire staff are so friendly and wonderful. The doctor answered all my questions and the lasik process itself is so quick. It took only 7 minutes for me to get my 20/20 vision back. Best thing I have ever done. Highly recommend!
I was a little Nervous about the whole process going in, but the staff was amazing. They actually took the time to explain everything step by step. They did a awesome job making this experience simple. This is day one after the process and I feel great about my decision. I still can’t see close up , without my readers but they told me that up front. Yes I do recommend this team they are good!!
Went in with pretty terrible vision half expecting to not be a candidate. Much to my surprise I was on my way to never having to wear glasses again. I especially appreciate Rose for taking the time to answer all of my questions as well as having a smile the whole time. Dr. Smith did an excellent job during the procedure. He was very quick and efficient and got it done and over with in no time. Would definitely recommend this LasikPlus location.
It's a great experience. They do everything to make you comfortable. The slightest issue and they stop until you are ready. Thank you so much. They are great team and a great atmosphere to get your vision corrected and shed those glasses.
Wonderful experience! I was able to the surgery the same day I came in for my consult which was a huge blessing as my husband was workalso off for the holiday week. The staff was not only super sweet, but very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. Dr. Smith was very kind, quick, and caring. Grateful to finally be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts!
