LasikPlus Reviews on Google
I should have posted this review a while back, but was initially waiting to make sure nothing went wrong with my eyes. I'm VERY happy with the results. I was initially a bit hesitant to make such a major life change, but I had lasik done on both eyes here in December 2019, after being quite nearsighted and needing to wear glasses or contacts all my life. My eyes were stable but I'm >50 so was needing reading glasses anyway. The doctors were great, the prices were competitive, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient. My recovery from the surgery was pretty quick (lots of eyedrops for the first month or two) and the results were fantastic! Distances are clearer than glasses and contacts, and I don't have to wear glasses except for reading up close, as expected. They have a guarantee in case your eyes need a touch-up procedure, but that was not necessary for me...everything worked well the first time! I highly recommend LasikPlus!
Very Friendly and knowledgeable staff procedure was quick and painless.
Had PRK with Dr. Summerfield, great experience and worth it!!!
Had surgery on Friday, very happy with my results. Thank you!!!
