This a review written by an M.D. (just to give perspective, given I work in the field of medicine on a daily basis, and see how various practices run in different hospital and clinic settings).
.
First off, I had terrible vision (key word: HAD), about -10 in both eyes. I am a very active person who enjoys weight lifting, hiking, swimming, running, target shooting, and always have been hampered by my poor vision, the need for glasses, or getting something caught in my contacts, etc. You get the point.
.
24 hours after my procedure, I experienced something I haven't experienced since the 3rd grade.... clear vision after waking up from bed! In the span of a day, I've gone from wearing coke bottle glasses to basically having 20/20 vision. I am forever grateful to the wonderful clinicians and staff at LasikPlus in Schaumburg for this Life Changing procedure.
.
Staff: the staff were very helpful from beginning to end. From greeting me with a friendly hello, helping me with the paperwork, taking care of the initial parts of the eye exams, explaining the billing process, making sure I took advantage of all my potential discounts, and helping me easily set up financing options and followup appointments and answering all my questions along the way.
.
Clinicians: Dr. Ubhi was the optometrist who performed my screening exam, and was very professional and thorough, with excellent bedside manner. He realized I had not been out of contacts long enough prior to my initial exam, and asked me to come back for another re-check. (This actually was very reassuring, as it made me feel they wanted to genuinely make sure I was a good candidate, vs. just funneling people through without being thorough). He explained the various risks, benefits, etc., explained what made me an appropriate candidate for Lasik and what to expect on treatment day. Made sure I had all the prescriptions for eye drops prior to procedure day. And despite the fact his clinic day was packed, took the time to answer all my questions without making me feel rushed at all.
.
Dr. David King Aymond M.D. performed the actual LASIK procedure. He made sure to sit down with me and answer any last minute questions I may have had prior to the procedure. Walked me through how the procedure would go, step-by-step, and made sure to highlight certain parts of the procedure that tend to be more anxiety provoking than others and gave me tips on how to stay relaxed. The procedure itself went smoothly. At every point, I felt like I was in good hands, and he would make sure to check in frequently to see how I was doing (though it was a very brief procedure, literally about 38 seconds per eye!).
.
The staff are very thorough with their followup instructions, and give you a print out of a detailed guide of your eye-drop regimen post-op which is very handy.
.
All in all, a wonderful, life-changing experience that is affordable, and worth every penny. My aunt came to LasikPlus and had the same results. If you are interested in Lasik, I would highly recommend getting evaluated for potential candidacy at LasikPlus in Schaumburg.

Thank you again to everyone at this location, and I'll be seeing you at my next followup!
