In all seriousness, I am still quite shocked when I woke up this morning and I opened my eyes and they just worked. I didn't have to fumble around on my night stand trying to find my glasses. I just had my procedure yesterday, I had been told I wasn't a candidate in the past for LASIK because of my astigmatism but now I can see!! I can't wait to go try on sunglasses...and actually see how they look. Also HUGE shoutout to Brandon at the front desk! So warm and friendly and just so nice!! 5 stars!

Came in yesterday and had my eye surgery. I had been carrying Dr. Brinton's business card in my…read morewallet for years after my eye doctor said that he was the only person in STL who could correct my eyesight. I had a -10 eyesight so LASIK wasn't an option for me. I filled out the form on his website, received a call within a minute, they asked some more basic questions, scheduled me for an appointment. The appointment was extremely professional with great customer service. They are very upfront and honest about what to and what not to expect. They put everything in very easy to read writing, provide you with videos they developed (you'll recognize many of the staff members from your visit). Was I scared during surgery, absolutely. You just have to put your trust in him. You lay on a table, (in my case) you see a purple light and a white jellyfish thing and about four minutes or so later it's done. You sort of have "underwater vision" right afterwards but by the end of the night I was playing video games. The next day I was driving without issue and there was never any pain at all. 1000% recommended, wish I made the call years ago.

My eyes decided they weren't putting up with glasses and contacts any longer. I started having so…read moremany problems with contacts drying out immediately. I also started having more and more frequent headaches, no matter what we did with the prescription. I decided to make a consultation to see if I was eligible for Lasik. I'm so glad I did! The consultation was fantastic. The front desk lady was also a tech and did all my testing before the doctor. She was soooo great and personable. She made me feel so at ease and comfortable. Next, the doctor did some other tests and decided I was a good candidate for LASIK. She was absolutely great as well and told me it would be life-changing for me since my eyesight was so bad. She was right! So, on my procedure day, we were told to be there around 230pm. I can say we waited sooo long before I went back, over 2 hours past my appointment. It was a bit frustrating, but not a huge deal. There were many people there, like way more than I expected to be there. Anyway, once I went back, my eyes were numbed with some drops, then it was showtime! The room with the laser has an "observation" area; my fiance was able to watch the entire procedure through the windows and on the monitor. I thought that was super cool. As far as the procedure went? Easy, so easy. The doctor made me feel so comfortable, talked me through everything, and it was a flawless experience. Makes me wish I did this a decade ago. It didn't hurt at all, and I couldn't believe how easy it was to get through. I had some stinging later that night, but nothing crazy. The next day, some photosensitivity, but nothing I'm not accustomed to anyway. Seriously, an easy experience! This was a great idea and I'm so happy I chose this place to do it.

I got lasik in 2018 & got an enhancement in 2025. 2018 LASIK…read moreprocedure/recovery first time around was soooo easy. Dr Gaines did my evaluation & she was so kind and patient and informative. Dr Ellis did my procedure & honestly in and out in ~10 ish minutes if that. Maybe 5 min lol. Recovery was very very easy. Maybe uncomfortable for 2-3 days but I just took Benadryl around the clock to sleep through those days. I was really happy with the result but over the years noticed I was having issues seeing street signs & horrible night vision. Which I always knew was a possibility so I got the lifetime warranty up front. Now come October 2025, I had some time off work & decided to get an enhancement. I can't wear contacts bc of some eye thing I forget, and I'm too active for glasses. Dr Gaines (again the sweetest person alive) recommended prk this time. Dr Ellis did my procedure again easy peasy but I will say it felt like it took longer? And a bit more pressure/uncomfortable than lasik but I didn't have Valium this time so maybe it was just in my head. It didn't hurt by any means but I think I was a bit more freaked out & in my head. Healing process sucked. Absolutely could not open my eyes for 2-3 days. Tearing up all the time. Horrible horrible. I was back to normal ish after 5 days & even then my eyes were so sensitive to light and I had to rest a lot. And everything was blurry and I won't lie I was spiraling and worried that I was going blind. I can't imagine working immediately after the procedure. I got the protective lens removed after 6th day & I'd say I was able to see everything clearly by then. But I'm two months post enhancement & im very very happy with the results. Dry eyes in the morning is real but I use ointment at night & that helps a ton. TLDR lasik in 2018, prk enhancement in 2025 (horrible recovery). doctors & staff amazing. No regrets.

As I am to be out of town for a couple weeks and not able to see my primary Opthamologist, I wanted to see an eye specialist sooner, to make sure nothing was wrong. Well, Tracy (sp?) from Galanis eye center--was super amazing and accommodating; she was able to set me up to see Dr. Galanis that same morning (I know the doctor and center are busy normally, so felt very blessed to be able to get in and see him so quickly) Gretta, the tech and Dr. Galanis were great as well, and Dr. Galanis provided me with helpful feedback and some drop prescriptions that will help with my eye discomfort. He and the office definitely helped give me peace of mind and I'm super impressed at the quality of customer service and how well the office is run!
