LasikPlus Reviews on Google
Overall great experience. From the consultation all the way to the procedure, Lasik Plus made it seamless. Dr. Horn and Mercedes were great along with the rest of the team.
The experience has been great so far. The doctor made me feel comfortable about the procedure and my vision is incredible just 2 days later. I highly recommend this location.
The staff is very polite and friendly. They greeted me genuinely coming and going. Dr Burgets and Dr Louis Probst exceptional service.
Great staff, great experience. Wild to be able to see again.
