Hmmmm, I've actually been thinking about this review...What I wanted to say and if the 4.5 rating would be rounded up or down, and you see I bumped it up to 5 (just know if 4.5 were an option, that's what it would be, lol).
So, my hairdresser who is in her 20s got LASIK here within the last year. LASIK is something I've been thinking about for over a decade, but between not wanting to take on the extra expense and being a chicken, I never followed through with any of the free consultations many places offer. Welp, in 2018 I decided to up my contributions to my HSA just in case I got the courage to follow through with this idea. 2019 arrived, I had an extra $1000+ going into my HSA for this and it was early in the year, and time to either pay for a contact lens fitting and the lenses, or finally go get this free LASIK consultation.
I actually mentioned this idea at work and two co-workers told me they also had LASIK and were very happy they did! Like any good Yelp Eliter, I came straight to Yelp to check out the reviews for the different places these ladies went, and LasikPlus DEFINITELY had the best reviews, and none that scared me. After all, my vision and my eyes are nothing at all to take risks or play around with. I actually sent a message to a different provider for an appointment, then read the reviews, saw they offered Groupons and cancelled the appointment! Now, I could have saved quite a bit over $1000 if I bought that Groupon and went elsewhere, but again, I'll pay more to feel confident that the procedure will work, with a reputable doctor and that my vision won't be jeopardized, so I did.
Only the afternoon/evening after I had the procedure was I freaked out and hating my eyes watering non-stop, but that was it! Seriously, one half of a day of actually feeling like I wasn't sure if I should have done this. Then I went to sleep, woke up feeling like I could see better than 20/20 and noticed my eyes weren't tearing uncontrollably anymore. Your eyes will be red and you have to use a lot of drops for the first week, but omg I could see! With no glasses, no contacts, no taking the time to clean my contacts or take one out and put it back in if it was inside out, or take the time to get it from getting stuck under my eyelid on the occasions that happened!
The procedure was really done in under 10 minutes, as others have said. It's pretty amazing! Now while most of the staff here is nice and friendly and pleasant, I won't even pretend I loved every single one of them, which is the main reason for the 4.5 stars. I mean, I'd love a lower price too, but again, I was going for quality over cost, or I would've gone elsewhere.
I had my procedure almost exactly a month ago, and my eyesight is great and I rarely can tell I've had LASIK that recently. Your eyes are still adjusting so I did have blurriness a few days, which is scary, but they assured me this was normal then it went away and I'm back to feeling like I have combined vision of 20/15! So, I wish I did this years ago and didn't spend money on contacts and fittings, but I'm glad I didn't wait any longer than I did! Also shoutout to my awesome fiancé for taking me to my appointment and putting the drops in my eyes the day of the procedure, when I was being a punk (don't tell anyone) because it stung a little and I wanted to keep my eyes closed so they could heal.
So you do sort of feel rushed sometimes with the doctors, and while sitting there deciding if you should do it after you hear the cost, but it's really a procedure that doesn't take long and either you want it or you don't. If you want everyone to kiss your butt and coddle you, maybe this isn't the place for you, but if you want a doctor you can trust and a lifetime warranty, essentially, should you need a free touch up in 10 years? Then this is the place for you!
P.S. They also have a referral program, so if you know me and are reading this, and don't know anyone else (that you like more) that's had LASIK here, reach out to me for my full last name so you can tell them I referred you! It's a win-win if it's something you've been thinking about, like I did for years and years! Oh, not sure if this is something that is always done, or if it was a special happening when I happened to go in, but if I booked the procedure within a week of my consultation, they'd take $200 of the price. So, yeah, I had my consultation on Tuesday and my procedure on Friday, all to save a little money. LOL
I was a nervous wreck, but Eric kept me focused on the goal and didn't let me chicken out. That's just another reason I'm going to marry that guy. :) read more
