    2 cataracts and both back of the ball. I was almost blind. Now I see almost perfectly. Medicare…read morepays so it's all good. The doctor is a total professional. The whole team is friendly and totally rock. He's going to speak directly to you. He's not a Pediatrician so act like an adult (don't argue and do what he says) and you will see so much better in very little time. Only 1 year for my 4 surgeries and that's when COVID-19 was raging. He's done over 30K surgical procedures. So listen to him and his team and you will be as happy as I am.

    Unsatisfactory experience for sure. Very unprofessional attitude towards his patients. Appointments…read moreare arbitrarily cancelled without any explanation other than a "scheduling conflict". Yelpers, please be warned, his "scheduling conflict" has taken me six long months. And it will happen to you 100%. This phrase is an in-office catch-all that the scheduling desk used with great regularity. Personally, I got soooo tired of hearing that particular phrase.... LOL. I don't know, I guess what it all comes down to, my friends, is our time; they don't seem to respect it. In all fairness, they did give me a 24-hour notice; however, six months, I think, seems a bit too long and inconvenient too. Honestly, Yelpers, there are so many other choices for us here in beautiful San Diego, why subject ourselves to this? Total disregard for the patient's state of mind. Which, to me, is extremely unprofessional. Shop around, look around. Make two appointments with two doctors; this way, you'll always have a backup. Better to play it safe with this clown.

    I had my LASIK procedure performed here two weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier with the result…read moreand overall process! I'd put off getting LASIK for a couple of years, and the folks at San Diego LASIK Institute made it so much smoother and easier than I'd ever anticipated, from reception to planning to checkups to the procedure itself. From my initial consultation, Brandy the coordinator did a great job of answering my questions on everything from expected outcomes to payment options. My many followup emails were answered quickly and comprehensively as well. When it came time for my pre-op checkup, Dr. Darrow was a delight to work with. She brought a relaxed, humorous vibe to the tests that truly put me at ease, and she was actively happy to explain so much about how my eyes were going to work, what I should expect, and all sorts of other niche questions I had. When it comes to my eyes, I didn't want to walk into anything half-prepared, and she seriously sated my curiosity. On the procedure day, the Dr. Pham had a great intro video laying out some of the basic care instructions. Soon after, he came in to discuss what I should be ready for, and he did something great: he checked what I do for work, and then expressed the effect of the procedure to me in terms that made sense for my career! This helped things click for me right away and got me ready. Then the procedure itself was over with incredible speed. We started off with some prep, which involved numbing my eyes with drops and applying some pressure to them, which took about 10 minutes overall. Then, the actual laser procedure was 34 seconds per eye (this apparently varies by prescription, lower prescriptions taking less time). I Ubered home from the procedure, took the sleep aids they gave me, woke up 17 hours later, and went back for my post-op. My eyes felt great already and had 20/20 vision! Today, I went back for a followup appointment and had 20/15 vision. In the interim, my eyes had a week or so of ongoing dryness, but that's mostly subsided by now (and was very much one of the warnings I'd received). The dryness and my night vision will continue improving over the coming 6 months, but I already feel like I've gotten worlds better. I can't recommend San Diego LASIK Institute highly enough!

    If you need to find a high quality, trusting place to get LASIK, go here!…read more My prescription is on the high end, but I woke up seeing so clear the morning after my procedure. It's not perfect 20/20, however that is expected. A week out now, my vision feels so clear. At night , I do notice halos and starbursts (which is expected) however, a week out, I feel comfortable driving at night. I agree that the first few nights will be tricky driving at night. I mainly see Dr. Darrow for my follow ups and only saw Dr. Pham for my surgery. The whole staff is amazing and sweet. The day of surgery, I took many scans of my eyes. Dr. Pham likes to be precise and accurate. I watched Netflix for about an hour and a half, went to get the LASIK which only took 30 minutes, and then went home! They even gave me a stuffed animal to hold :) As intimidating as LASIK can be, this place made me feel so safe and my healing journey has been nothing but perfect!
