Such an amazing experience! Definitely would recommend people to look into having the surgery. I was up and about the next day. Some sensitivity to light but overall painless. Time to go on vacation without the hassle of carrying glasses, contacts, and all the extra jazz they come with! I feel so much lighter now ;)
So I finally made the decision to get Lasik, and I do not regret it! The staff here, first off, make me feel welcomed and at ease about the whole procedure. Each of them speak from experience, which helps a lot when you’re doing surgery on your EYES!! Now I don’t ever have to worry about contacts or glasses. Secondly, they talk to you throughout the procedure to help you stay focused. I feel so refreshed to wake up with 20/20 vision. I recommend LasikPlus very much! I love my vision and I think you will too!
Awesome job! I came in with a bundle of nerves and everyone was very supportive and kind. They really help put me at ease. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent experience! The procedure went smoothly. 2-4 hours later I could see well without my glasses. 1st day - I can see better than 20/20. Highly recommend Dr. Lustbader at LasikPlus !!
From start to finish, they were incredibly transparent and made sure I was comfortable with every step of the process. Procedure wise - Dr. Procope called me both before and after the procedure to answer any questions or concerns, which I really appreciated. He was fast and careful during the surgery. A month since my procedure, I couldn’t be more happy with the results. Definitely recommend this office!
