I love being able to see....
The doctors and staff were nothing short of amazing throughout the entire experience. They were very straightforward and there were no surprises when it came to the procedure. During the procedure, they made sure I was comfortable and walked me through to the end. They are very attentive when it comes to questions or concerns. I would recommend lasik to anyone, especially at this location. They left a very positive lasting impression. They care about their patients and it shows! They're the best, hands down! 🙌
From start to finish the experience I had with this staff has been amazing. I had a very quick and thorough surgery. Irina was an absolute doll. The doctors were straight to the point. All questions were answered thoroughly. Cannot recommend it more :)
I am 3 weeks in to recovery. I wish I would have done it sooner in life. The appointments all went well, I was never pressured to move forward with the surgery. The surgery itself was less stressful than I imagined, it is no big deal at all. I was in the surgery room for only a few minutes total. All the staff are wonderful, helpful and caring. I followed all the post op directions and the healing is going very well, no complications. At my 1st follow up a few days later my vision was 20/15. I do recommend you plan to stay home the next day, I bruised a little and the dark glasses they gave me were a bonus to my look. I was a little exhausted that entire day and the next day was just light sensitivity. I recommend this location 100%
I couldn’t put contacts in I don’t like touching my eyeballs. Lol Everything from start to finish was great even during Covid-19 everyone one was nice, quick and everything was super clean and sanitized. At my consultation I was given literally all the answers I needed and they answered all my questions and concerns. The price was VERY reasonable I’m so so happy I got of my glasses I can see and do so much now. Thank you!
