From my first day at the consultation, to my post-op follow-ups, the staff at TLC Coral Gables has…read morebeen impeccable to say the least. I've been wearing glasses/contacts since I was 3-years-old (yes, it's been a confusing, blurry, journey), so to say I was nervous about LASIK is understating how scared I was about the whole thing. Despite my fears, the staff has been warm, friendly, reassuring, and most of all, knowledgeable through every step of the process. Not even a full 24 hours after I was operated on I already saw better than 20/20. The actual procedure can be daunting at first, but Dr. Aran guided me and literally talked to me throughout the whole 15-minute surgery (which is 100% painless). I can't tell you how crucial this was to my psyche. His reassuring words and step-by-step description of what he was doing kept me calm and focused. Dr. Stelzer, meanwhile, is a beacon of comfort and expertise, and he's THE driving force in making sure the recovery period is as smooth and delicate as possible. To put it in layman's terms: the guy knows his stuff. It's truly miraculous work Dr. Aran, Dr. Stelzer, and the staff at TLC Coral Gables take part in. You're in good hands the second you walk through the door.

* This review is based on my consultation experiences, not the actual procedure. *…read more I had been thinking about lasik eye surgery for a few years but recently started really looking into it because wearing my contacts and glasses were becoming unbearable. I began my research last month and also asked some friends for recommendations. One of them suggested TLC and said he had a wonderful experience. I scheduled my consultation appointment via their website for the following Monday 3:30pm. I scheduled that appointment after another appointment at another company, since I figured do two appointments in one day. Come Monday, my eyes were dilated from the first appointment, which I did not predict was going to happen. I figured TLC would not be able to check my eyes due to the dilation but I went anyways so I could ask some questions and schedule another appointment. The entrance to office was a bit tough to find for me, it was a very narrow road that I missed the first time and almost the 2nd time I went. The building was small compared to the other building next door. I parked and went inside the office. The waiting and reception area was small as well. The receptionist was pretty nice and had me fill out some paperwork. I waited a while and almost watched an entire show of Ellen DeGeneres talking to Bieber and then Shonda Rhimes. Finally, I was greeted by the Patient Consultant, Luisa, who seemed to be in a hurry. I explained to her what had happened and that my eyes were dilated from another appointment and apologized. She said they would only be able to do a simple screening then and that I had to be out of my contacts for 2 weeks prior to the consultation, which I did not know. She told me that she felt bad that I waited a while and I offered to come back another time, I just wanted to ask some questions since I had the appointment anyways. I went ahead and started asking her some questions, and was ready to jot down notes, but she said she'd be giving me a folder with the info later. Luisa went ahead with some tests and then had me watch a video on the computer monitor, which repeated for 4-5 times. Then Dr. Stelzer showed up to talk to me about coming back again in 2 weeks for a more in-depth exam because my eyes were still dilated and I haven't been out of contacts long enough yet. He went over the difference between Lasik and PRK, talked highly about Dr. Aran, and just spoke so fast that I still hadn't process the information. He said so far, I am a candidate for lasik, but they won't know for sure until the next in-depth exam. Afterwards, I was back in Luisa's office. She spoke really fast as well, seemed to be bothered by something, gave me a folder with some info in it about the center and doctors, and showed me a small brochure of Wells Fargo finance option along with the cost of the procedure: $2395 p/eye $4790 -$400 $4,370 After finishing, she closed the folder and was ready to send me out the door. I said, "Wait, I still have some questions to ask." She said, "Oh, sorry," but didn't seem sorry in my opinion. I felt so rushed and disrespected. I get it, it was close to their closing time, but let me ask my questions and don't rush me. My appointment was at 3:30pm and it took them a while to get to me. I was on time, I was polite, I waited, and I deserved some quality time instead of being rushed. She then told me to go to the front desk to make the next appointment. I left with such a bad taste in my mouth about TLC, but I still gave them a benefit of the doubt since one of my friends had gotten his custom lasik done here, and Cassie from Yelp as well. The receptionist scheduled me for 7/5 Tuesday. Days later, I got a call saying their doctors will be on vacation, so the center will be closed, therefore, they have to reschedule my appointment. At that point, I was annoyed. I canceled that appointment. Even though my gut feeling told me not to go back, and I had gone to another place for consultation during the 2 weeks, I went back to TLC anyways to give them another chance before my final decision. I called back and got an appointment for 7/11 Mon at 1pm. I arrived early, waited to get called. A staff led me to the room next to Luisa's office and did some quick tests. She was nice. Then she showed the results to Dr. Stelzer, who came by really quick, asked if I rubbed my eyes. I said, maybe when I woke up, but other than that, no. He said something about one of my eyes being funky, so I would have to come back in another 2 weeks to get tested, and not to rub my eyes. I was scheduled to come back in 2 weeks. When I got home, I made my final call of where to get the lasik eye surgery done and I am happy with my decision. Today I called TLC twice as a courtesy to cancel my next appointment, but was put on hold for more than 10 minutes each time. Overall, I did not have a great experience, but maybe you will :-). Definitely do your research.

If you are hesitant about getting LASIK, take it from me, just do it. I am 53 years old and have…read morebeen burdened with glasses and/or contacts for 47 years of my life, I have done Lasik consultations before and was always too scared to proceed. The staff at LasikPlus changed all of that. The entire staff was great from start to finish. Heather Mott was great and answered all of my questions during my initial consultation and after, she also did a great job of following up with me, even 4 months after my first visit. Denia Zolaica was amazing and was able to "talk me off the ledge" the day of my surgery last Thursday. As I mentioned before, 47 years is a long time to wear glasses/contacts and I could not fathom the idea of doing without them and almost walked out of the office the day of my surgery. The staff realized my anxiety and did their best to calm my nerves, and Denia in particular was amazing. She brought me in to her office and did an amazing job of explaining the procedure in detail and helping me deal with my anxiety (the 2 Valiums that she prescribed me did not hurt either). Finally, Dr. Karp has a way of making a patient feel welcome and exudes the utmost confidence in the service (a medical miracle in my opinion) that he provides. Since day one, Dr. Karp assured me that I was a great candidate and that all would go well, and the result far exceeded my expectations. The procedure itself is miraculous, the hardest part for me was the anticipation in the waiting room. Each eye takes about 30 seconds and after my first eye was done, I could already see clearly. Since then, with each passing day, my eyes feel better and better and today the staff confirmed that my vision is now 20/15. Like I said, a medical miracle for someone that has not known life without glasses for nearly 50 years. I still wear readers to see things up close but that is due to my age, distance-wise everything is now in HD for me. Do yourself a favor, do the Lasik, you will not regret it! The staff at LasikPlus will be with you every step of the way and I am sure you will walk out of there kicking yourself for not having done Lasik sooner, I sure did!

Dr. Karp's level of care is very high & reassuring. During my eye exam, he made sure to tell me what he was doing & why, all the while cueing me on what to expect. The part that really blew me away was his willingness to explain my condition, next steps of care, & expectations. He answered all my questions without once seeming bothered or rushed. From the eye care specialist in the local community that I've visited, Karp has a good reputation. He lived up to it during my visit. The staff was also willing to answer all my questions, even when it came to matters of cost, insurance, pharmacy location, etc. I strongly recommend them.

Bypass the main reception area and go directly to the LASER vision center to the left. At initial eval, you get a bunch of tests done at different stations. (Bring some work or reading to do while you wait.) Afterwards, you meet with the optometrist to discuss findings and see if you are a candidate. I was able to schedule the procedure quickly. I went w/ Dr. Sonia Yoo, who came highly recommended by my ophthalmologist friend who trained at same institution (Mass Eye and Ear). Had to wait some more day of surgery, but it was worth it. They give you 2 valiums (can take 1 or 2). You do another quick test. Then the procedure is done, which takes ~ 15 min. I felt no pain, and Dr. Yoo explained everything. You get a nice kit w/ a blanket, stuffed animal, eye shields, sunglasses, and eye drops - everything you need. They give you instructions on what to do. Best thing is to sleep afterwards, bc once the numbing drops wear off, some people experience burning/itching. I did not feel any of this because I fell asleep at home. The next day, I could see perfectly! I had no pain whatsoever. This is the best decision I have ever made, and the results are life-changing. Dr. Yoo is incredible. I had a lot of fear about the procedure beforehand and about possible complications. I am so happy about going forward with getting LASIK. Despite the waiting, I think this is the place to go.

Let me start off by saying the staff here are amazing, nice, and comforting. Over a month after my…read moreprocedure and my eye sight is incredible. My results are fantastic, but my procedure experience was not great at all and I think it's fair to tell my story. TL;DR: -All staff are super nice and professional -Great LASIK results -Should be more discounts available -Unorganized and excessive pre-op steps -Surgery appointment process is not ideal -Possible improper dosage of anti-anxiety medication? -Procedure appointment lasted 5 hours...yes 5 hours for a 10 minute procedure -Felt disrespected and forgotten on procedure day - - - Millennium Laser Eye Center is by far one of the most expensive laser eye centers in the state. The miniscule "discounts" you may be given at any point do not change the fact that you can go to other reputable laser eye centers and pay over $1000 less for LASIK. But I chose Millennium knowing about the high premium because I wanted the absolute best experience and results. Building up to the procedure you will have about 8 phone calls, 10 emails, 2 consultations, and the list goes on. It didn't matter that my eye doctor submitted my pre-op and labeled me as a perfect candidate. I still had to go through a long and monotonous process. And during these events you will be in contact with several different representatives all of whom do not talk to each other. So you may complete or confirm a process with one, and the other will ask you to complete that process a few days later. They were all so nice, but it came off very unorganized. I think one employee per client would be much smoother. Up to this point, I would still give Millennium 5 stars, but my procedure appointment was an absolute nightmare. First off, you can't schedule it yourself like an adult. They email you the day before and you just have to drop everything and accept it. I was given an afternoon appointment and was told to expect it to be 3 to 4 hours. Seems like a long time to set aside for a 10 minute procedure but I assumed they just estimate so long just in case things are running behind. Me and my brother left work early to be on time for the appointment. We got to Millennium 30 minute prior to my appointment and were called into an exam room after about 45 minutes. Things are going very smooth and I'm super excited. I explained to a staff member that I was super anxious because I had never had a medical procedure before and asked for them to give me something for that, and she said she would be right back with it. My whole family is watching the live stream now waiting for me to get my procedure. One hour passes. Two hours pass. Three hours pass. Around the 4th hour of sitting in this super hot exam room and seeing patient after patient get their exams, someone entered the room and I was given one valium. I didn't know this at the time, but when I told my doctor that they gave me (6'2" adult male) one valium he laughed and said that would do nothing to help someone who was so stressed and anxious. Perhaps they have extra strength valium, but I didn't notice any difference in my anxiety which I'm sure adds to my feeling that this appointment was a complete nightmare. One more hour goes by and I finally get called for my procedure. Yes, my brother and I waited FIVE HOURS. We left work early for no reason, lost money, had not eaten in 9 hours, and made our family sit through hours of exams from people who I assume must have shown up and had appointments after us unless they were all hiding in the back. If they had told me that my exam was at 7:30 I would have happily have shown up at 6:30 or even 5:30 to do whatever last checks they wanted. But I felt absolutely forgotten and disrespected to be left in that exam room for 5 hours. We received no apology at all from the doctor, but he did ask me to write a review which was a pretty awkward moment. I know friends who have had amazing experiences here and they were all stunned when I said I had to wait 5 hours, so it may be very possible that I just got them on a bad day. The only explanation I can think of is that they literally forgot about us in that exam room. I got home about 6.5 hours after I entered that office and had a post-op the next day. My post-op was literally 13 hours after my procedure. I'm pretty sure I wasn't even supposed to be driving by the next morning yet, but I'm just glad it's over now. Sorry for the bad review, but whatever caused my poor experience needs to be fixed or I cannot recommend Millennium, regardless of how well I can see now.

While my PRK eye still has some healing to do it was nothing like the internet made it out to be, and the team does everything to ensure you are comfortable and not in any pain. I have been working with the Katzen team since March of this year when I went in for my first evaluation. Because I was a long time RGP contact user, it took me a bit more time to be approved while only wearing glasses. Fast forward almost 3 months later, and I am writing this review without anything but my corrected eyes! It is truly amazing and the procedure was quick and painless (though you couldn't have told my nerves that the day I had it done). If you are on the fence about visiting Katzen Laser, DO IT. I did a lot of research before finally making the call for an evaluation and my only regret is not doing it sooner. I wouldn't trust my eyes anywhere else. Special thanks to Dr. McCracken as well for seeing me through the whole process, and Julie for her awesome bedside (or chair side in this case) manner!
