It has been almost 3 weeks since my LASIK procedure and I am in awe of my new eyes! I was very…read morenervous going into it, but looking back I had nothing to worry about! From the initial consultation, the staff were friendly, patient and understanding of my nerves. On the day of my surgery, Dr. Giles was great and made me feel comfortable the entire time. The procedure took less than 20 minutes and was painless. After the procedure I experienced very little discomfort and after a few days, any discomfort I did have completely went away. I experienced dry eyes for the first week, but since then that has also gone away. Being able to see is the greatest gift and I am beyond grateful to TLC for giving me the gift of eyesight. If you are nervous to get LASIK, know that I was too, but wish I hadn't been so nervous because in the end I had such a positive experience.

I am grateful and incredibly happy with my TLC-Laser Eye Center experience. They were extremely…read moreprofessional and attentive. They performed preliminary exams to diagnose the possibility of surgery. After that, they scheduled the surgery date and, finally, on the day of surgery, they assisted me throughout the procedures and, most importantly, always kept me calm and confident about the surgery. The rest was just personal nerves, a fact beyond their control or mine. However, everything went wonderfully well and according to their plan. I am truly grateful for their professionalism and passion for the work they do. Congratulations to the entire team, especially Dr. Christina La, Brandy, the doctor who performed the surgery, and the friendly lady who performed the initial exams. "I'm sorry I didn't write your name, but you know who you are." Congratulations to the entire team! Excellent work and keep loving what you do. You are the best.

Great at wasting your time!…read more When speaking with the person that makes appointments I was assumed that they take VSP. Upon arrival for my appointment, they informed me that they are out of network for VSP. I mentioned that the person that scheduled my appointment assured me that they take VSP, they said then said that they do. They told me to pay for the appointment then and they would give me a receipt that could be submitted to VSP and VSP might reimburse some portion of the visit. Obviously, they are out of network and don't take VSP. What a waste of time. Not fun getting jerked around either...

I tried this clinic out because I needed a new eye doctor and glasses prescription…read more The tech was friendly, but the eye doctor himself was dismissive. He wrote a prescription without talking to me about astigmatism. I can't wear my glasses without getting dizzy. When checking out, the desk staff was pretty rude. Then I got a reminder to attend my follow up? For what? They automatically scheduled me for two appointments without checking my schedule or asking me to attend. It feels very paternalistic, doesn't feel like I was involved as a participant in my care. I didn't feel comfortable there and won't go back. Why should my insurance (or a patient) pay for appointments every three months if there's no ongoing treatment?

Let's talk Lasik. Granted, it hasn't even been 48 hours since my surgery, so if my eyes fall out, I…read morepromise I'll update this review. I'm the type of person where if there's even a microscopic chance of disaster, I'm certain it'll happen to me. I prepped myself for this surgery by stumbling around my house blindfolded while asking "Could I live like this?" Even with that answer being a resounding "NO," I decided to finally take the plunge before my 40th birthday. In sum, so far it's one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I strongly regret not doing it a decade ago. The experience at Clear Advantage is streamlined and professional. You quickly feel like you are in great hands and that nothing can go wrong. From the front desk, to the initial assessments with the techs, everyone is extraordinarily friendly while also emanating an air of "chill out dude, we do this all the time." And really, that's all I needed to accept the frightening proposition of lasers slicing my eyes open. The surgery itself is quick and painless. Doctor Peters calmly explains the process, you're in the chair for maybe 10 minutes, and the laser is more fascinating than terrifying. I entered the operation legally blind. Immediately afterwards my vision was still blurry, but much clearer than before. After a 2 hour, Valium-induced nap, I awoke to 20/15 vision. I only had 20/20 with contact lenses. It was a revelation. You must avoid all tv/phone screens during the first day and are on a strict prescription and lubricated eyedrops routine for the next month. It's a nuisance, but easily worth it. I live nearly an hour from Clear Advantage and chose them after a recommendation from my local eye doctor. I strongly feel like they must be the best in the region. Doctor Peters and the entire staff make the process clear, casual and pain-free. It's been nearly 30 years since I've had vision like this without contacts/glasses. Don't make my mistake and rule out this operation from fear.

LASIK. I am writing this review less than 24 hours after my procedure and have already driven to a…read morefollow up appointment sans pain and with 20/15 vision. This is all truly surreal. I was so impressed with the kindness and thoroughness of the process and staff. I initially wanted to get both eyes done but after reviewing one of my eyes they denied it due to some scarring from a previous ulcer. They noted that their practice is conservative with the patients they take and let's be honest, that is EXACTLY what you want when you're going to have a procedure affecting your eyesight. In terms of the procedure I definitely had some nerves but they truly put me at ease with explaining how quick and foolproof the technology is, if your eyes move, the laser moves. How cool? If anyone is on the fence about getting this procedure, I cannot stress enough how incredible Dr. Peters is as well as the whole staff at Clear Advantage. The 1-2 hours of discomfort after the numbing meds wore off is nothing compared to the feeling of waking up being able to see unassisted and without pain. I live a hour away and I am so happy I made the trek to Portsmouth to get this done. 10/10, do it.

He is a highly skilled professional, very knowledgeable on the latest surgical procedures, and always takes time to answer questions, find solutions, and go above and beyond to ensure his patients get the best care. I recently had cataract surgery and had lots of questions prior to surgery about the procedure, expected results, and the potential for any problems. Dr. Rodman took a lot of time to answer my questions and ensure I was comfortable with the answers. I have always received excellent care from him and he's always found solutions for me. I have to say that for me cataract surgery was life changing. After cataract surgery, I am in awe of the improvement in my vision. I no longer need glasses except for "cheaters" for reading. I am very happy with the results and thankful to Dr. Rodman and the Microsurgical staff for their attentiveness and care given to me as a patient. All of the Microsurgical Eye staff is very professional, always greets patients, answer questions and gives their full attention to patients. It is a large practice, but always well organized and efficient. There is a lot of teamwork among the staff to ensure the patient experience is a positive one.

Cataract surgery is a mature and straightforward procedure, with traditional methods almost always…read moresuccessful. Dr. Jason Brenner has undoubtedly performed many successful surgeries. However, this was my first time learning that Boston Vision offers "upgrade options," requiring patients to pay extra on top of insurance coverage. I do not understand why such a simple surgery needs these costly add-ons, yet I chose the laser option at $2,400 per eye. From the very first night after my surgery on January 6, I knew the lens measurement and design were wrong. I could not see anything clearly within 1.5 meters. I could not read, write, cook, see food while eating, , phone, or use a laptop. Even connecting my laptop to a large screen did not help. The blurriness disrupts my daily life and affects my brain function. According to the surgery contract, my vision should have been targeted at -1.55 to -1.65, but the actual result is -0.75. Instead of showing compassion, Dr. Jason Brenner blamed me for "signing the agreement." Yet it was his surgical design and operation that failed to achieve the agreed target. Before surgery, whenever I tried to confirm that I needed to read, write, and use phone and laptop comfortably, he was impatient and dismissive, repeating only that I would "be fine." He never disclosed the actual target numbers. After surgery, he insisted the outcome was acceptable and let me toward invasive second surgeries--removing and replacing the lens, implanting a second lens, or LASIK. These are all risky, invasive procedures. How could I trust him again? I asked for a refund of the failed surgery and for coverage of future corrective treatment at another practice. He refused. Instead, he hired three lawyers to pressure me into removing my online reviews. He even canceled my already scheduled appointment with another Boston Vision doctor, which was meant to measure my vision and plan next steps. Dr. Jason Brenner then declared that I was "discontinued" as a patient at Boston Vision altogether. But I was not a patient just with him at Boston Vision, I saw several other doctors before the surgery. What is the purpose of offering a before-surgery measurement if the doctor does not take responsibility if his measurement and operation failed? Under his logic, patients must simply accept poor outcomes, undergo more invasive surgeries, or wear glasses. In my case, glasses do not work because his incorrect design makes my two eyes unbalanced. Meanwhile, my right eye surgery--done at another practice five years ago with traditional methods--was entirely successful, covered by insurance, and required no expensive "options." Cataract surgery is supposed to be consistently successful, with rare failures. When failures do occur, doctors should help patients resolve the issue--not silence them. Dr. Jason Brenner shows no care for my suffering. Instead, he frames my complaints as "attacks" against him. I fear I may receive even more legal threats from his three lawyers simply for sharing my experience as a patient.
