LasikPlus Reviews on Google
I was very nervous about getting my vision corrected with Lasik because we only get one set of eyes. The staff at Lasik+ made me feel comfortable. Dr. Vu explained everything and answered all my questions over and over. Maria and the front desk ladies were very nice. Cassandra also helped to ease my fears because of her positive experience. I highly recommend this practice if anyone is considering getting Lasik.
Great experience, first information session through the follow up was super friendly
The surgery was amazing, the post op care was amazing. I had the enhancement surgery as well and they took care of me very well!
I’ve been wearing glasses since I was a kid and contacts for 20 years. I was EXTREMELY nervous to get LASIK done, however I knew I needed it because I slept in my contacts and didn’t change them as often as I should have. My vision was pretty bad (approximately -7 in both eyes with astigmatism) and post op I can confidently say this is the best investment in my vision/health I could have ever made. Pros: consultation was easy to schedule and was quick. Once I was approved for LASIK I was able to schedule an appointment to have surgery the next day. My appointment was quick and the procedure was painless, for the most part. Recovery has been simple and smooth and my vision is great! Cons: there was a slight discomfort during the procedure with the device used to keep your eye open, not painful per se just a bit uncomfortable. The post op burning and discomfort is the most challenging. They gave me Tylenol PM to take right before the surgery to help me sleep post op, however, I didn’t feel like it kicked in soon enough. The pain was bearable and did not require me to take pain reliever medication. Would highly recommend LASIKPlus to anyone on the fence or considering.
An amazing place for your eye lasik, my wife and I got ours done here and couldn’t happier, we both now having the 20/20 vision. Thanks to the staff, eye doctors, and surgery doctors for being very helpful and awesome!
