I can't recommend this place enough!
I was pretty nervous about getting Lasik done, but I was greeted warmly by Virginia the moment I stepped in. She walked me through the whole process and was very available when I had 1001 questions.
I was able to schedule my free consultation shortly after I came in for information.
I met with Chris who is simply hilarious and he took down a bunch of information about my eyes. He was really good at making me feel at ease.
Then, I met Tim who did the dreaded "which is better? One or two? Can you read the letters there?" Test. I was pretty nervous about that, since I have bad eyes and I already feel defeated after I fail the letter reading test, but nope! He also made me feel really relaxed and comfortable. I asked a billion questions and he was able to answer everything really clearly.
After booking my surgery which was about a month away due to my schedule, I called Lasik MD a bunch of times with random concerns and questions and they always happily answered with a smile.
On the day of my surgery, i mostly saw the same people that I've been in contact with before and it was really comforting to see a bunch of familiar faces.
After waiting in the lounge, getting a quick exam done, signing my consent forms and paying for my surgery I was lead upstairs by the wonderful Jamie and I waited in a smaller lounge with one other patient who just finished his surgery. We got to talk for about 20min and I went in!
Dr Johnson was the one who greeted me at the door and he was very approachable and he made me laugh a bunch of times. The surgery was really interesting and pretty fun actually (weird, I know)! There was no pain, just pressure as they will tell you. There's also a weird smell, but they warn you about that too.
Afterwards, I waited a bit more, got a second exam to see if everything started to heal, got my first set of drops and I was on my way!
The whole experience was amazing. The staff is just perfect. I can't stress enough how great the team is. It really made a world of difference for me. I felt well taken care of and I felt like they took a personal interest. My schedule is weird and they worked to accomodate me as best as they could. I could go on for days, but if you have more specific questions, feel free to send me a message. I'd be glad to elaborate further.
Reminder: Lasik is still a surgery, so it's not something to take lightly. It's important to consider all the factors and to talk to trained professionals before deciding to proceed with the surgery :) read more
