    Had my LASIK surgery yesterday. I'm uber excited to see what happens in the coming weeks…read more Dr. Will's and the ops team explained each move while under the scope, making the anxiety lessen. The staff was friendly as well. I would recommend, to be safe and have more comfort, take the day after off surgery and just relax.

    I had Lasik with Dr. Neil Wills in February 2001, fifteen years ago, and PRK in my left eye in…read more2011. Both surgeries yielded results that surpassed my expectations. However, it wasn't until recently, when I had a serious problem, that I realized just how lucky I was to have chosen Dr. Wills so long ago to be my Lasik doctor. Since November 2015, Dr. Wills has been treating me for a very severe case of "in- growth" under my Lasik flap resulting from a cat scratch to my left eye and almost two years of uncontrolled growth. The in-growth had spread across my cornea resulting in astigmatism and extreme dry eyes. Dr. Wills was under no obligation to take my case and could have easily referred me to another doctor. Fortunately for me, Dr. Wills agreed to help me because the in-growth covering my cornea was significant. He knew his experience made him uniquely qualified to successfully perform the surgery I needed. Dr. Wills ended up performing two surgeries on my eye to "scrape" the in-growth from my cornea. This required an incision to lift the flap, scrape away the in-growth, and place a protective contact lens over my eye. Dr. Wills is such a skilled and experienced surgeon that, unlike many other surgeons, he did not have to use sutures to secure the flap. After the second surgery, Dr. Wills had to irrigate my eye twice to wash away new in-growth that was returning. Since that time, I have had three appointments with Dr. Wills and, so far, the in-growth has not come back. My eyes are no longer dry and my vision has vastly improved. Dr. Wills performed the surgeries, the irrigations and all the exams as a "follow-up" procedure to the original Lasik surgery and never charged me one penny. By the time I had my first appointment with Dr. Wills I had already been seen by several doctors who could not help me. Right after the cat scratch, I was seen by a doctor who prescribed antibiotics. After a few days, the injury seemed to heal and I frankly didn't think any more about it. As time went on and my eyes became increasingly dry and my sight blurred, I went to an optometrist for prescription glasses. The optometrist told me I had scar tissue around the Lasik flap. He couldn't help me. From there, I went to an ophthalmologist who, after two appointments and a dry eye test which turned out negative, couldn't help me either and ultimately referred me back to my original Lasik doctor (Dr. Wills). At this point I was very upset because I didn't know if this condition could be treated, if it would return, and what it might mean for the future of my eyesight. I made an appointment with Dr. Wills who immediately diagnosed my condition, told me what to expect, and laid out a treatment plan. He was comforting, patient and called me after each procedure to see how I was doing. His staff was always friendly and scheduled my next appointment before I left the office. This experience has made me realize that you have to choose not only the most talented ophthalmologist you can find to perform your Lasik surgery but also one that has integrity, cares and feels a responsibility for his patients. You never know when you might really need that superior level of care. I am profoundly grateful that Dr. Wills is my Lasik eye doctor and I would recommend him without hesitation to my family and friends.

    It's officially my one-year anniversary since having LASIK (specifically the SMILE procedure) at…read moreEnvue, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From my very first initial contact, the staff was quick to respond, was warm, professional, and so patient in answering every question. They explained the entire process in plain language so I felt informed and comfortable before even stepping foot in the office. When I came in for my consultation, Dr. Rivers was just as kind, personable, and friendly as everyone had described. He walked me through the different vision correction options, explained the pros and cons of each, and made recommendations based on my needs -- without ever making me feel pressured. I ended up choosing the SMILE procedure, which was offered at a flat, affordable cost for both eyes (no hidden fees or "per eye" surprises that I was seeing everywhere). The procedure itself was fast and smooth. Dr. Rivers has such a calming presence he talked me through every step, making sure I was comfortable and fear-free. There's even a waiting area where your family or friends can watch the procedure if they'd like, which I thought was a cool touch. I noticed a difference in my vision immediately after the procedure -- I could read the time on the digital clock in the wall right away! By the next day, my vision was perfectly clear. They sent me home with everything I needed: eyedrops for moisture, antibiotic drops, sunglasses, coupons!!! and clear instructions for aftercare. I experienced only minimal discomfort in the days following. The office is beautiful!!! It's modern, great views, clean, and spacious, with plenty of comfortable seating. The location is super convenient, and I loved that there was garage parking with an exterior door that led directly into their office (no awkward walking around a building post-procedure!). Now, a year later, my vision is still perfect. The best part? Waking up and not needing to reach for glasses or think about contact lenses at all. It's been truly life-changing. If you've been on the fence about LASIK or SMILE, I can't recommend Dr. Rivers and the Envue team enough. They made the entire process easy, comfortable, and -- best of all -- successful!

    5 stars isn't enough. No words can reflect the gratitude and joy I feel rn. I just got SMILE done…read moretoday by Dr. Rivers and his staff and I cannot speak highly enough of them! I have never had a doctor care so much about the well-being of his patients. All of the staff are so knowledgeable and kind. You can tell that they all love what they do by the way they interact with each other and most importantly with you. It truly reflects in their craft. On top of their decades of experience and time working as a team together, the facility is stunning. Everything was spotless, the equipment is all brand new, there's parking, and the staff themselves are all extremely sanitary! I wouldn't want anyone else working on my eyes and I would go back again in a heartbeat. BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!! *Yelp didn't log me in when I made the first review so I'm making it again + adding pictures! THANK YOU DR. RIVERS + TEAM! You are all truly a blessing
