Best money I’ve ever spent. I was a little hesitant but the doctors and staff made me feel at ease. Procedure and processing are extremely efficient here. Hardly any wait at all, which is nice. I now have 20/15 vision the day after. Can’t believe I spent 35 years of my life not seeing things with such vividness. Thanks to all the doctors and staff. I highly recommend!
Staff was very friendly, professional and efficient. It was obvious that Dr. Smith has years of experience in this procedure. He explained the process well and the procedure was quick, smooth and painless. The next day, I had my follow up and was 20/15 vision. Very happy with my experience and would recommend LasikPlus to anybody interested in getting their vision corrected. Thank you Dr. Smith and the entire Plano staff for making my experience enjoyable.
The process is super simple and clear from beginning to end. The surgery is super quick and all the information provides really helps after. All the drops needed and follow ups are provided and included. It was an awesome experience and now l can see with our my glasses I highly recommend it!
From start to finish. From my initial examination, to the day of the operation, and the follow up. The Service was Excellent! The staff and doctors were super helpful, answered all of my questions, and gave guidance on what to after the operation. Now I can see again without the help of glasses! Thank you Dr.Smith and the Staff at LasikPlus!!
I was a slow healer but after 2 weeks I CAN SEE! I love it! The staff and doctors were amazing and treated me like family! Amber is the best and I love her! Thank you so much!
