    Definitely the first choice for Lasik in Chicago!!! Dr Lancaster did amazing job on my Lasik. Second days my both eyes got 20/20!! Even they just opened 5 years, I can't believe any other lasik place rather than them!! Employees are so nice and helpful! BTW, love the decorations, amazing taste!!!!

    Numbing drops at the start of the procedure.

    My friend had LASIK done here a couple years ago with Dr. Sharpe and had a great experience. He was thrilled with his vision and had no dry eye or any other complications from the procedure. I went ahead and booked a consultation for the following day. As everyone else says, the office is beautiful and the staff makes you feel welcome right when you come in. The consult was incredibly easy and I loved chatting with Dr. Ganesh. I was a little unsure when they told me Dr. Sharpe wouldn't be doing the procedure since he practices in Seattle now, but after reading Dr. Lancaster's bio, I felt more than confident in his ability. However, I was disappointed I didn't get to meet him during the consultation. Nevertheless, I booked the procedure for the earliest time available, which was 4 weeks out. Upon arriving on surgery day, I was given some paperwork to fill out, and loved that they give you the option to open the curtains so other people can watch (which I did). I was disappointed nobody before me did the same thing though, as I wanted to watch too! Anyway, after about 20 minutes I was called back and Dr. Ganesh checked my vision one more time. She said my prescription matched exactly with the one they took during the consultation. She gave me three 5mg tablets of Valium to calm my nerves and help me sleep after. After another 20 minutes or so, my nerves started going away and I just started feeling excited! I could hear the procedures of the people going before me, and couldn't wait for my turn. Finally, Dr. L opened the door and joined me to go over the procedure and answer any questions I had. Once that was done, he walked me in and I lay down on the chair. I was given some numbing drops first and asked to close my eyes. After a minute or so, Dr. L propped open my left eye and started walking me though what he was doing. I had a little trouble looking at the light in the femto laser, as it looked like it was moving. Maybe that was due to the suction? I guess I eventually looked in the right direction as my vision went dark and he eventually removed it. Then the right eye, which went smoother. At this point everything looked like before. I was then swung over to the excimer laser and this time my right eye was done first. This was the really fun part! I could see Dr. L lifting the flap, but because I couldn't feel anything it seemed kind of like watching a movie. Once lifted, things get super blurry but you can still see the blinking light. They then started the laser and I was hit with the smell of burnt hair. I remember commenting on it between eyes and Dr. L said "that's the smell of good vision." The laser lasted around 20 seconds, so it was super fast. The incredible part is that you can literally see your vision get better while it's lasering. Once the flap is put back down, it's like everything goes into HD. This was repeated for my left eye and suddenly it was all over. I was told I could get up and everything was super clear already, except for some cloudiness from the drops they add at the end. Dr. L inspected my eyes one more time and said I could go on my way! On the way out, I was handed an ice pack mask and that was that. I had a little light sensitivity on the way home but overall was comfortable. A little before getting home, I started getting a little burning, like when you're cutting onions. This is where the comfort drops came in clutch. They burned a little going in but completely wiped out any discomfort. Once home, I wasn't able to sleep, so just listened to some music with my eyes closed for 2 hours. After that I got bored and felt good enough to do some things. I ended up hanging out with my neighbors and having a couple drinks, applying the comfort drops every hour or so. Dr. L texted a couple hours later and wished me well, which was cool. The next morning my eyes felt completely back to normal, and my vision was already amazingly clear. I went to my follow-up appointment and tested 20/20 in each eye, and 20/15 with both. As time goes on I think that will improve further as I had a little blurriness from the contrast of the letters on the background. I am now just over a week out from the procedure and my vision is super sharp. I believe it's better than it was with contacts in before. The only remaining side effects I have as some glow around bright lights in black backgrounds, as well as a couple red spots on my left eye. Both of these things continue to improve each day. I also have absolutely no dry eye whatsoever. I continue to use my lubricating eye drops simply to ensure they heal properly. One thing I do wish they would do is to take a video during the procedure. I would have liked to send it to friends to gross them out! Overall, my experience has been amazing I would recommend Sharpe Vision to anyone! Thank you to Dr. Lancaster, Dr. Ganesh, Channing, and Hunter for giving me amazing vision!

    I just had my lasik done yesterday and cannot believe how incredible I feel. I am now seeing 20-15 vision (even better than 20-20) and it's mind blowing. Everyone at Sharpe was kind and professional. I keep telling my friends that it was wayyy less painful than getting my wisdom teeth out and honestly even easier than getting laser hair removal. Thank you, Sharpe!!!

My friend credits Dr. Joseph Garber with saving her vision when she came back from vacation with a detatched retina, so she called to see if I could get in for an emergency appointment. Thank God they got me in within a few hours, to see Dr. Gina Rogers. When I arrived, reception was warm, & I was called back to a room quickly. Nora numbed my affected eye to gently measure my eye pressure, gave me a vision test, and then documented my detailed optical history, symptoms, and pharmacy to call in prescriptions. Dr. Rogers came in shortly after. She was warm & compassionate as she thoroughly looked in both eyes. She prescribed me 3 different things, to be thorough. By the next day, I was feeling much better. I am so grateful to the very warm team who got me in so quickly! I am so grateful to Dr. Rogers for letting me squeeze into her schedule when I was so miserable.

He spent the majority of the call telling me that it gave him anxiety to operate on someone who doesn't live within driving distance of their office. That's a reasonable policy to have in place but I wish that information had been communicated to me before I waited 6 months for this appointment and paid $250. 19 minutes into talking with me, he said he had a patient who was "actually here in the office" and he needed to go. I found this incredibly rude. During our brief call, I got mixed signals from him about whether or not I would be allowed to have surgery since I don't live nearby. By the end of the consult, I asked the doctor point blank if he would recommend surgery and he said yes it would benefit me. He even sent an invoice for surgery! Then, the office informs me that he does not in fact recommend surgery. So Dr. Phelps lied to me during my consult. After a conversation with Jasmine the manager, it was clear that no one was at all sympathetic to my confusion and concerns. I was able to get my consult fee refunded which I was grateful for. However, I received no apologies and, overall, my experience at this facility seems fairly unacceptable for a doctor's office.

He diagnosed two different issues and wrote me a scrip, then booked for me to come back a few days later to see how well my eye responded to the medication. I had to do a full round of antibiotics and put cream on my eyeball. I am now healed from that issue, so that part is A-ok. My issue with this office has more to do with their "office policies". First of all, I was annoyed that the Dr. kept trying to get me to come back over and over for expensive office visits to confirm that the treatment was working. If I hadn't said no for the 3rd visit I would still be paying for office visits to this day as my insurance doesn't cover office visits completely. I had already paid a couple hundred bucks to get my eye fixed with insurance if that tells you anything. What prompted me to write this review was the way they handled the next issue. I received a bill from the place where I was misdiagnosed (never saw a doctor, just an arrogant nurse guy who barely looked at me). The bill was inflated and that pissed me off so I called them to see if they could make an adjustment for the misdiagnosis and bad service I got since they were billing me a few hundred bucks too. They said they would need a fax from Dr. Doren's office stating what the actual diagnosis and treatment was so they could proceed. I called Dr. Doren's and asked them to send this info and she agreed. A few days later I get a call from Physican's Immediate care about the info they received. Seems Dr. Doren's office just sent a scribble from a prescription pad with the prescription on it. Frankly, I think this should be enough, but that is for another review, but they said they needed my records which should include the findings, including the diagnosis and the treatment prescribed. I called Dr. Doren's office back to ask that she do this and she sighed heavily for being put out apparently and said she would "have to speak to Dr. Doren" about this and that there would be a $15 charge to release my records because this takes "extra time". Jesus H. I said, well then can I just have my own records then since I've paid for this already? and she said, No, it's still $15 to get my own records released. I have a file of all of my medical records, blood work results, etc etc and have never had to pay one red cent for them. I do not understand what is the big deal of helping one of your patients resolve this issue. Instead they see it as an opportunity to nickel and dime me to death. I'll seriously have to reconsider whether or not I will return to this Doctor again because of how unhelpful they have been with this situation. It's a small office, no nurse, just the person at the front and the doctor and they are conducting business like it's a giant bureaucratic establishment. I am very disappointed. This is why I deducted 2 stars, for adding more expense and bureaucracy to an already annoying situation. Thanks Guys.
