5/5 totally recommend going here! I've been wearing glasses since I was about 7, and wearing contacts since my sophomore year of high school. So adding it all up, that's over 30 years of needing corrective lenses. I'm 38 and decided that enough is enough, I'm over the whole glasses and contacts game. Dr. Pasternak and his staff were extremely nice, informative, helpful, and understanding during the whole process. They assured me of the process and what to expect. Even during the surgery, Dr. Pasternak cracked a few jokes to ease any tension or stress. He should write a book! Lol From consultation to post-op check up, everyone has been very professional, polite and helpful. My vision is better than 20/20!! It's soo surreal!!! I couldn't have had a better experience! Very very happy!! read more

100% would recommend. Great people , great outcome and very satisfied with results. Able to see 20/20 vision.

Had a fantastic experience at LasikPlus in Towson! Got Lasik 3 days ago and am seeing great with minimal downtime. The Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient- all of my appointments were on time and well-explained throughout the process. I would definitely recommend! read more

20/15 vision within 24 hours. Very friendly and professional.. I was nervous to do same day but it went very well

The procedure was quick. Follow care not so good. Having many issues seeing out of one eye. After 7 months and many visits back,I was told I have dry eye syndrome. I tried 5 different over the counter drops with no success. I asked for a perscription for eye drops to help. My vision is now double in one eye. I was told I could NOT have a perscription but I could see one of their specialists in DC. Not helpful at all when you really need them. It took me 5 months of working double shifts to pay for this.......still can't see. read more

Overall a good experience at the Towson office for my LASIK procedure. Everyone is really nice and explain everything really well. I very happy with my results, from -7.50 prescription to 20/20. My only suggestion and on the day of the surgery I wish I would have taken an anti anxiety pill, I didn't know if I could or not and didn't think to ask because they make it seem as if it's so easy. Once I was in the table, my nerves were in 10 and there was no comforting. They were way behind as my appt was 10:30am and surgery didn't occur until 1:30pm, but maybe offering a squeeze ball since no one is allowed to come in with you I hyperventilated thru the whole procedure. And once the drops wore off at home I was questioning my decision for about 2 hours until I panicked myself into a deep sleep until 10:30pm, then I was fine. The pressure when they trying to do the suction hurts, the numbing drops don't help with that, it feels like someone is trying to push your eyeballs out, which they kinda are. It's fast thankfully but you're gonna feel it. I also didn't know who my doctor was, maybe because I rescheduled. I found out at follow up it was Dr. Robert's, who I had done no research on or even knew was performing at this center. I was scheduled with Dr. Pasternak but can't change it now and Dr. Robert's did well. Otherwise, I'm happy I did it. read more

Great experience. The procedure is quick and painless. The recovery is fast. And the staff at this LasikPlus location were so patient and kind. I highly recommend LASIK and I highly recommend this provider. read more

The staff are very friendly and help to make you at ease on the entire process. This is my first day after surgery and was surprised at how much my vision has improved without wearing glasses. I'm hoping to see better and better as time goes on. So glad I can say goodbye to glasses and contacts read more

I love LasikPlus! The doctor's and office staff are amazing. They are personable, knowledgeable and helpful. My PRK experience has been handled seamlessly. I have one more follow-up visit and look forward to going back. read more

I wish I could give this place more stars. I was thoroughly impressed with how my appointment went, from the consultation, to the surgery and the follow up appointment. I've worn contacts for over 15 years and I still feel like I have the same vision I had with my contacts in now after the surgery. I was a little nervous as far as what to expect but once I got here and talked to the doctor I felt like I had nothing to worry about. The staff was very attentive and and definitely made it more comfortable. The surgery went well and was super quick and painless. I went home and slept for the rest of the night and when I woke up I was good to go. The location was easy to find and plenty of parking. The office is clean and pristine. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

So much better than I expected!! Best decision ever!! Will definitely recommend...you won't be disappointed read more

Highly highly recommend! the process was fast and healing was easy! Dr P was so informative and made me feel comfortable. He has amazing bedside manner. extremely happy with the whole process! read more

I had lasik done yesterday and it feels weird being able to see clearly without glasses. All the staff from the front desk to the doctors were attentive and friendly. They all did their best to put me at ease every step of the way, Dr Goel most especially during the actual procedure. Their phones are on til late at night for any reschedules, no hassle at all. I've had a really good experience that my husband is thinking of getting a check up himself to see if he's a candidate. Prior to choosing LasikPlus, I've scouted two other providers, the other one actually gave me cheaper quote but I did not feel as comfortable as I did with the staff of LasikPlus. I also read reviews prior to going to my first appointment about how LasikPlus almost "forced" patients to make reviews. I would like to make it clear that I never experienced any of that. I work in health care and value a great experience coupled with a great outcome and am happy to report I got both at LasikPlus. read more

From the first time I called them to the post-op check up every person I have had contact with at LasikPlus has been friendly, enthusiastic, and welcoming. Scheduling was easy. From the day I called to schedule the initial appointment to the day of the procedure was 9 days. I was VERY nervous the day of the procedure. They walked me through the process. I have to say it was NOT BAD AT ALL. I was worried about nothing. My only regret is I didn't call sooner! I had I think 21/50 vision prior to the procedure. The next day after the procedure I now have 20/15 vision! Could not be happier. Priced fair and competitively. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

In short, these folks know what they're doing in the office and in the high-tech toy room (laser). The benefits far outweigh any fear or hesitation I had. Opening my eyes for the first time without things completely distorted nearly brought me to tears. It's remarkable, really. Long story... Exceptional experience from scheduling the appointment to post-op with LasikPlus. You're guided every step of the way, sufficiently drugged with Tylenol PM to make it thru the procedure then rest your eyes for the day. The eyes are more than sufficiently numbed to feel nothing more than a little pressure during the procedure. The success of this procedure appears to lie largely with the accuracy of their analysis of your candidacy, calibrating your prescription, and the patient's ability to follow directions. After nearly 50 years of wearing glasses and contact lenses, I vowed that the next contact lens induced eye infection was going to be my last, and so it was. I reached out to my friends to find out who performed their lasik surgery, and FOUR people screamed, "Sonny." Within seconds, Sonny's office address and phone number was in my text messages. Clearly, he's gained a cult-like following, because no matter where I've been, from Western MD to Ocean City and Baltimore, Sonny's practice was the only I heard. It should be noted that I compared lasik options with another large lasik provider in Baltimore. The difference was noticeable from the moment the the LasikPlus receptionist answered the phone. She was knowledgeable about the procedure, cost, insurance, and scheduling. She was patient and kind. ONE call gave me every answer I needed. That level of administrative precision was what I experienced throughout the process. Compared that experience to being unable to connect with a representative from the other large lasik provider in Baltimore. The fact of the matter is, if the administrative process is flawed before the procedure, it's bound to be flawed after. No thanks. Highly recommend LasikPlus, Sonny and ALL of the Optometrists, technicians, and administrative experts. It takes a community of caring people to do what they do every day. They've got it down to a science, in more ways than one. read more

I've been wanting to get Lasik for a couple of years now, and I decided that I would finally treat myself to it this year as an early birthday gift! I went into this knowing that my health insurance would not cover a cent of the procedure, so when I researched places to have Lasik done, I was keeping in mind cost, sanitation, and obviously qualified Opthamologists and surgeons. I settled on LasikPlus Vision Center. I called the center during the first week of August and I was able to schedule a consultation for the second to last week of August. When I arrived for my consultation I was instructed to fill out some forms on the computer in the waiting room and watch a Lasik introduction video. After this, I was called back to have my eyes and prescriptions tested. They placed a small string at the bottom of my eyes to test my tear production, I think. The lady that ran those tests was very friendly. Lastly, I called back to do tests similar to the ones done for contacts and glasses, only this would determine the prescription that would be necessary to achieve 20/20 vision with the Lasik procedure. After all of the tests were completed, I sat down with the front desk staff to go over financing. I was quoted $2,352 for the procedure with only two years of insurance included if I needed any revisions made, and $3,548.40 for the procedure with a lifetime insurance for revisions. The prices I was quoted included a 20% military discount. I decided to go home and sleep on it before making any major decisions. I ultimately decided to go with the lifetime cost, as it's seemed to be the most cost-effective choice for me, should I need any revisions in the future. I called the office and scheduled the procedure for that Friday. I was told two have my prescriptions filled, but when I looked in the folder, I didn't have any prescriptions, so I called back and they asked me to come in and pick them up. Thankfully, my husband goes to school in Towson, so it was convenient for him to stop by the office after class to grab my prescriptions for me. I had my prescriptions filled at Walgreens and I paid about $50 for both prescriptions. The LasikPlus Vision Center quoted me $150 for 10 25-packs of the Blink Tears Drops, but I decided to shop around to see if I could find anything cheaper. I ordered 10 25-packs from Amazon for $130, so I saved $20 with a small amount of research. The night before the procedure, I filled my bag with my prescriptions, my photo IDs, my debit card, and the folder that they gave me with quotes and medication instructions. I was nervous but excited to have the procedure done. When we arrived at the office there were about 5 other people there. They checked my eyes again to make sure that nothing had changed with my vision, then I paid for the procedure. I decided against financing, and paid in full. There was some waiting in between, and then I was called back to receive instructions and demonstrations for the antibiotic drops. Everything after this went really fast. I was given numbing drops and my husband was set up outside of the procedure room to watch me getting Lasik on a tv screen. Dr. Goel talked me through the entire procedure, and within ten minutes I was finished. Some people said that they experienced complete darkness in one eye for a second, but I only experienced some blurriness during the procedure. After this I was supposed to be given a Tylenol PM, but they forgot. I sent my husband back in to get the pills so that I could sleep and this did make me nervous because I had to wonder if there was anything else that they had accidentally forgotten to do. I was instructed to keep my eyes closed on the ride home and then sleep for 3-4 hours when I got home. I was also given sunglasses to wear for protection both indoors and outdoors. My eyes began to water incessantly and I wasn't able to sleep very well with the plastic eye covers that they provided, but I did my best to just let my eyes rest. I woke up at around 5pm and took the first doses of my prescription drops. I found it easiest to set alarms for the rest of the drops after that. I slept much easier that night, and felt better when I woke up. The watery eyes continue to persist, but my check-up showed that the flap was in tact and is healing appropriately. I was told that I could remove the sunglasses indoors, decrease the prescription drops to twice a day, and continue using the Blink Tears drops hourly. My vision before the procedure was -2.25 in both eyes and now I have 20/20 vision. I was given a "free t-shirt" and sent on my way! I will return in two weeks for a follow-up, but so far so good! read more

LasikPlus - Picture of my eye during the Lasik procedure! - Optometrists Near Me - Towson, Maryland

See all

Just over 3 months have passed since I received my LASIK operation with Dr. Sonny Goel and the LasikPlus team. Here's my take on the place and process, in full: LasikPlus- Dr. Goel operates at all three locations (Towson, Columbia, and Annapolis), depending what day of the week it is, and you can book your follow-ups at any of the three locations. I had my operation at Towson and had several follow-ups at the location in Columbia. Between these locations, the care I received from the doctors and staff was uniform and consistent. Consultation & Evaluation- Prior to LASIK, I was a contact lens/glasses wearer for approximately 15 years. At -5.75 (right eye) and -6.50 (left eye), I wasn't completely blind, but close enough. I visited Eye Doctors of Washington, LasikPlus, and TLC Laser Eye Center to get a better idea of how the process would go, what to expect, and of course, how much it would cost. At all 3 places, the staff took measurements of my cornea, checked tear production, and showed a video about how the procedure works. Because the technology they used was the same at all 3 venues, and all 3 doctors seemed equally competent, I ultimately chose LasikPlus because the price tag was about $1,000 less than their competitors. Pre-Op- After scheduling my surgery, I received several follow-up phone calls to confirm my appointment, to provide prescriptions for post-op treatment (2 different eyedrops), and to see if I had any questions. LasikPlus offers operations on every day of the week, including some Saturdays, which I found extremely convenient. Surgery Day!- The day of surgery, the staff re-ran tests to reconfirm my prescription and eye measurements to make sure nothing had changed since the initial consultation. I met with Dr. Goel to discuss the procedure in full detail. He gives you a complete rundown on what to expect from minute 1 to the completion of surgery, places some numbing drops into your eyes, and walks you into the surgery room. During surgery, he: 1) places a plastic ring around your eyeball that prevents you from blinking; 2) creates the "flap"; 3) lifts the flap; 4) uses the laser to reshape your cornea; 5) repositions the flap; and 6) repeats 1-5 on your other eye. The procedure took about 10 minutes total. Obviously while you are getting your eyeballs sliced off, panic signals will course through your head. Dr. Goel understands this and goes out of his way to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure. Post-Surgery Immediately after- The staff popped a pair of sunglasses on me, gave me tape and a pair of protective eye shields to put on my face while sleeping, and sent me home. I got home around 6:00 PM that day, PTFO-ed, and woke up the next morning at 7 AM. Immediately following surgery and into the afternoon the next day, my eyes felt slightly uncomfortable, as if I had put my contacts on backwards. Vision improved as the day went on, and I was able to drive that night with minimal glares/halos. 1st month- After the initial excitement wore off, I found myself with extremely dry eyes. Driving in sunlight was painful without sunglasses, and I found myself constantly feeling "tired" because my eyes wanted to close. At my follow-up, the doctor recommended 3600 mg of fish oil and a daily eye ointment, along with continued use of artificial tears. 1.5 months- My dry eyes hadn't improved at 1.5 months, so the doctor then put me on Restasis, a prescription drug that helps improve natural tear production. I started the Restasis regimen, but just before I hit month 2, I noticed my dry eyes gradually improving. 3 months-present- I rarely use artificial tears now, but continue to take the fish oil, mostly because it's good for you. At my 3 month check-up, I had 20/15 vision in both eyes! Overall- The doctors and staff at LasikPlus have all been very friendly and helpful throughout the process, and if I had to do this all over again, I would not hesitate to do so. One small qualm: prior to my surgery, I received multiple reminder calls. However, I did not receive any similar reminders for my follow ups. Based on my experience, I encourage everyone to get consultations at multiple eye centers, even if you ultimately decide on LasikPlus. This is your time to ask questions, educate yourself, and plan ahead. It's also good to mentally prepare yourself- the surgery and anxiety that may be associated with it extends not just until the day of the procedure, but also into the recovery months. Don't be afraid to ask for discounts or find ways to save: Set aside your FSA. Call your insurance to see if they offer a discount. Check your credit card to see if there are any cash back bonuses- I saved an additional $200 via my card's 5% quarterly bonus for 'health care'. Don't forget to budget for post-operative care (eye drops, antibiotics, etc.)either! Yes, the procedure is expensive, but in the end, it's an investment that pays off. LasikPlus made me feel sure of that! read more

LasikPlus of Towson has completely exceeded my expectations. I'll start off by saying medical things, even regular checkups are an issue for me. I get massive amounts of anxiety and become very nauseous. I was worried about being able to follow through with the procedure but I wanted it bad enough that I decided to tough it out. LasikPlus made me feel at ease; the staff/assistants that met with me before the actual procedure were happy to answer ALL of my questions and were so enthused about their jobs. It seems like a fabulous place to work. On the day of my procedure I met Dr. Goel and was blown away. He coached me through the entire experience and I couldn't have been more grateful. The procedure took all of maybe 8 minutes and I was up and out the door on my way home to nap. Later that night around 9:30, Dr. Goel gave me a call to check up and see how I was feeling; I was a little dumbfounded at first. Never had a doctor call to check up on me for anything. What a pleasant surprise. If you're even remotely considering it, go and see them. It is so worth the time and money. My referral code is 6041550, Meaghan Malinowski. You can get 15% off up until August 2015. Good luck! read more

I felt like I was dreaming on the way home. I woke up from my nap and could see perfectly. Every professional was helpful and pleasant and Dr. Goel explained the procedure in detail. I have not seen this well since I was very young. Money well spent. My husband plans to get a consult next year. I could see stop lights clearly and even read small print books. read more

OMG the staff at each location are absolutely AMAZING!!!! I was greeted and treated like a long distant family member being welcomed home. I had my initial consultation in the Annapolis office and before I could even answer the questions I had prepared before I came in, they were already answered and explained in detail. I had been putting off scheduling it and feared that since I waited until the last minute and set it online that I wouldn't show in their system or that my online forms wouldn't be ready the next morning - but they were totally and completely ready for me! I ended up staying longer than expected only because they completely took their time and reviewed EVERYTHING with me and even answered my questions about what I could expect in the future. The day of surgery was even better. I wasn't nervous at all and even my friend who came with me was made to feel at home. They had told me to expect to be there maybe 2 to 3 hours and we were in and out in less than an hour and a half!! The entire staff from the front door to the procedure room were so genuinely warm and personable. They introduced themselves, asked my name, just a level of service and friendliness that you don't encounter on a regular basis. And the best part was that everything went absolutely perfect - right away the results were amazing. Nothing happened that they hadn't already discussed with me and there were no surprises. I am so happy with the results - so many of my friends are not saying they want to have it done as well. I've worn classes since I was in elementary school and this one week after the procedure I am over the moon happy with the results!! Thank you all soooooooooooooooo much!!!!! read more

I had an awesome experience at LASIK plus in Towson. The office was very nice and comfortable. All the doctors and nurses were very helpful and described the whole process. The actual LASIK procedure was very quick. Dr. Goel was very nice and walked me through the procedure. After the procedure the discomfort was minimal, kind of like a contact was irritated. The best part is I could see clearly as soon as I was finished! I highly recommend LasikPlus and Dr. Goel. Overall an amazing experience! read more

My LASIK procedure was yesterday and already I couldn't be happier with the results. Everything from the initial consultation, procedure and follow-up visit was great! The doctors and staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend! read more

I was referred to LasikPlus Vision Center, in Towson, MD, specifically Dr. Goel, by a friend who had his LASIK surgery performed at this location a few years ago. He said it was one of the best decisions he had ever made. He gave the center an outstanding review, so I decided to do a little investigation myself. When I arrived home that evening, I immediately Googled LasikPlus and found the website for the Towson, MD location. I read all the material on the website, including the reviews. My friend told me about the CareCredit financing option that he used to pay for the surgery; his was two-years, interest-free. I applied online for the CareCredit financing and was immediately accepted by Synchrony Bank who I have two other accounts with already. I didn't know it at the time, but CareCredit also covers dental and hearing charges, besides vision. I wasn't quite ready to book my free consultation online just yet, I wanted to do some more research. I Googled more reviews, specifically looking for bad reviews, not good ones. They were hard to find, to say the least. With any operation, you take risks, but experienced surgeons minimize those risks with advanced education and continuous training. Then I began to watch YouTube videos of reviews and information related to LasikPlus Centers across the nation. I even found one video that was shot LIVE of the actual procedure being performed. I booked the free consultation and was ecstatic to learn that I was a prime candidate for the surgery. I have been wearing glasses since I was approximately 14 years old, then contacts since the age of 18. I am now 53 and switched back to glasses about a year and a half ago because I got an iPad and was doing extensive reading to the tune of 140 books last year. My contacts were one for distance and one for close-up, so it made it difficult to look between the iPad and the TV without having blurry vision, in addition to having severely dry eyes that I never had before reading so much. I scheduled my appointment for the procedure two-days later in the Columbia, MD office. See my review for the LasikPlus Vision Center, Columbia, MD, for information regarding the procedure. During the free consultation and the 24-hour follow-up, the staff and doctors were extremely professional, pleasant, and welcoming. I completed the online registration, so when I arrived, everything was filled-out for me and I just had to review and sign the paperwork. I was determined to get the procedure done as quickly as possible and the young lady working at the scheduling desk made it possible for me to schedule the procedure at another office, in Columbia, MD, to meet my needs. LasikPlus does offer multiple other financing options for those who don't qualify for CareCredit; no one is denied financing. I can't say enough positive things about my entire experience between the two offices. I would highly recommend having LASIK eye surgery from LasikPlus Vision Center, if nothing else, at least come to this location for the free consultation. read more

I recently had Lasik done by Dr. Sonny Goel at LasikPlus and I'm beyond glad that I did. One of the best decisions I've made and everyone at LasikPlus was great.

If you are a woman who EVER plans on having a baby, do NOT come here. It's common for vision to change during pregnancy. The lifetime treatments do NOT include the $150 outside optometrist appointment you'll have to go to. Nor the additional $75 fee the center charges you after they receive the report they require the outside optometrist to use and send to them. Their customer service is the worst I have ever come across, it's despicable. Lisa Manson, the representative I have been emailing is condescending and sends scripted information. I wish I had chose another place to get my lasik, I gave the wrong people $5k. Also, blink eye drops are terrible, systene is much better. read more

Eyes are still above perfect 20/15 with some occasional dryness 2 years later. Thank you LASIK!

Had a great experience and I was scared needless to say. Ms. Crystal hands down was professional and welcoming. She made the whole experience worth having. She made feel like a person and just not another customer. I recommend any body to get it if ur thinking about it. My vision is more perfect than when I was younger and I have astigmatism. So if you thinking about go and ask for crystal. read more

I was unsure of my eligibility and if I really wanted to spend that kind of money on myself when I went for my consultation. They gave me confidence in their ability to do great work and instilled confidence in myself. I loved their friendly staff. I am young and had a hard time understanding the financial aspect but they helped me understand the financing options and how affordable it really can be. Their support is what made this experience so far so comfortable. Jada has been helping me along the way and I could not be more grateful for her.

I have yet to get the procedure done but will check back in afterwards! So far so good!! read more
