LasikPlus Reviews on Google
It's been exactly one week since having my procedure and all I can say is, I can't believe I waited so long to do this. The entire Team at LasikPlus was amazing and super friendly. I have severe anxiety and they were completely great in making this experience calming for me. If your thinking of doing, stop thinking and go do it! And be sure to go to LasikPlus to have it done. Trust me, you will be thankful you did.
I’m so glad I decided to trust LasikPlus with my corrective vision treatment. Dr Smith and the whole team at LasikPlus are professional, friendly and efficient. I was pleasantly surprised at how simple and painless the consultation and procedure were AND the affordable pricing and flexible payment options. I almost forgot...I could see clearly without my glasses as soon as the procedure was done and my vision keeps getting better! Can’t beat service and results like this!
Dr. Robert Smith and the whole staff was so great and friendly! I was scared but they made me feel comfortable and were so patient. They walked me through every step and I woke up seeing better before even 24 hours. So impressed and highly recommend. They also gave me a discount through my insurance and a referral and it was a very reasonable price.
Great staff members and doctors! Friendly, and attentive. All questions answered. Surgery was brief and almost completely painless. I came in with lots of anxiety but left super satisfy. Here’s to glasses-free vision! 😄
The surgery was so fast and easy. Took maybe 3 minutes total. The first day is a little hard but I feel like a different person today! I have 20/15!!! 😭😭😭 so glad I got to do this. Everyone was so helpful and kind. This place was great and super clean.
