Dr. Whiting doesn't even work here anymore. They're just falsely using his name and reputation to…read moreget business. Even in a google search it comes up as "the most experienced," which is a blatant lie and dishonest, frankly illegal method of attracting customers. On top of this, they won't honor the lifetime guarantee given to dr. Whiting's patients even though the language in the provided agreement clearly implies that they must. Anyone who is being denied an enhancement as a former patient of dr. whiting's, i urge you to contact the bbb and file a complaint. You paid for custom lifetime lasik, which includes free enhacements. Dr. Whiting and Ovo clinic will not honor it. Whiting clinic will not honor it (which is absolutely illegal). Amazing that there are no class action suits.

I'm on day 3 writing this review. First of all don't watch videos on horror stories or read about…read moreit if you're going to get anxiety over it (it was dumb on my part doing just that). Whiting definitely knows what he's doing. I couldn't recommend him enough nor his amazing comforting staff as they walked me through something that I wanted to years ago but didn't due to being terrified something could of gone wrong. Sure if you don't use him be sure to do your research as I value my sight as well I'm sure whomever is reading this feels exactly the same. I'm a commercial roofer and wearing glasses and or contacts was a everyday struggle. It's dirty, hard, dangerous, fast paced job. Dealing with my contacts against the elements was quite a challenge. Wearing glasses restricted my peripheral range of view. I had 20/400 vision with an astigmatism in my right eye and now I'm 20/15 confirmed the day after when I went to my next day follow-up. I wasn't tested further to see if I could see any better and 20/15 vision is something to be proud to have non of the less (I think I see even better possibly). I've worn contacts that gave me 20/15 and I've never noticed to insane amounts of details I'm noticing currently now. I watched water coming out of the faucet for instance completely mindblown away for over a minute the other day. The bad - after my surgery I did have some pretty intense pain pretty similar to a bad tooth ache. I paced around my house for awhile to shrug it off (I recommend napping as I couldn't) . It subsided after six hours. I woke up the next morning and the pain was completely gone. I have a minor halo issue with street lamps and stop lights /cars are fine to me. I'll update this as needed but I swear this is probably the most amazing thing I've done for myself hands down. Everything is so crisp and detailed that I'm almost in denial (and that's going to vary from person to person. ) You owe it to yourself as I'm completely grateful I took the plunge. Honestly I have to take deep breaths as I've been trying to take in the amount of detail I'm now noticing since my procedure. Just crazy amount of details I've been missing out on. I'm supposed to see this dust from 20 ft away?

I have worn glasses and contacts since I was 10 years old. Within the last few months, I decided…read morethat I wanted to get Lasik. I wish I would have done it sooner, especially after the amazing experience I had at LasikPlus! From start to finish, the staff were incredibly welcoming and very helpful. I asked the doctor, who initially checked my eyes, a lot of questions and concerns I had about getting the procedure done. She reassured me that what I was asking was a normal part of the process. As for the day of the procedure, I was really nervous but excited. The doctor who did the procedure and the rest of the staff were very nice. The surgery was quick and wasn't painful at all. Immediately after, it felt like I had opened my eyes under water and things were a little blurry. They gave me some sunglasses to wear after. When I got home, sleeping was the best recommendation because my eyes were burning, almost as if I had gotten shampoo or hot sauce in them. When I woke up, my vision was clear and I immediately started using the eye drops. Overall, I am so happy with my decision to get Lasik and I really appreciate how easy and simple the process was at LasikPlus.

I got Lasik Surgery this past weekend and would recommend LasikPlus to anyone interested in the…read moresurgery. They are very friendly and informative. The consultation was free and easy. They checked my eyes the same as my regular eye doctor and answered all questions. I suggest bringing sunglasses because they dilate your eyes and it's bright afterwards. The surgery was quick and painless. It's been 3+ days now and my eyes are irritated but I go back tomorrow for a post check up. I'm looking forward to speaking with the staff again and having them confirm my newly perfect eye sight.

My conpany was offering discounted Lasik through their program and decided to bite the bullet get…read morethe LASIK. Was surprised by how nice everyone was and looking at the reviews, most people are just cheapskates. These are your EYEs and it's important to have a good and experienced eye doctor. Dr. Omar Awad has done 75000+ procedures which was more than even the person in the informational videos who only did 60000! Plus the entire team made me feel comfortable and were friendly and honest about what to expect. They made it clear what to expect and gave me the proper droplets and post treatment LASIK instructions clearly. I feel like the people who left negative reviews really just don't read or don't follow instructions. Recovery took me 1 long sleep (11 hours), they do LASIK as late as 6pm appointments (I waited and got mine around 6:30pm). Overall, it was a painless and enjoyable experience and they do a rigorous prescreening process if you're eligible. If you don't have any other medical preexisting conditions, I would definitely recommend to anyone who's wanting to go glasses or contacts free!

I had LASIK done by Dr. Awad at LASIK Plus. Spoiler: I can see now, which is great. But the road to…read more20/20 wasn't exactly smooth sailing. I was surprised to find out that four of us were scheduled for the exact same 1:00 p.m. slot. I was the first one called back--at 1:50. So while the actual procedure really did only take about 10 minutes (they were right about that), plan to be at the clinic longer than you think. If you've got someone helping with childcare or driving, let them know to expect a longer visit. Before the procedure, they gave me numbing drops. I couldn't feel pain, but I was still very aware of the pressure and movement. I could see things happening--which, if you've never had someone work directly on your eyeball, is not exactly calming. At one point (okay, three times), I accidentally dislodged the eyelid holder they use to keep your eye open. I didn't even know that was possible, but it turns out if you're anxious and reactive, your eye might fight back. At my consult, I'd asked about meds to help with anxiety and pain afterward. Both were brushed off--"you'll be fine, just take a nap." That nap never happened. What did happen was five straight hours of burning, stinging pain that had me crying--not from nerves, just pure fire-in-your-eyeballs misery. The good news: I can see great now. But my eyes are still very dry, I need drops every hour, and I'm super sensitive to light. I also get eye fatigue quickly when I'm on the computer. Looking back, I wish I'd taken two full days off just to rest and recover instead of pushing through. Bottom line: the results are worth it, but don't go into it expecting a breezy experience. Prepare for a rougher recovery than they describe, and bring whatever support, meds, or backup plan you need--because no one's going to hand them to you the day of.
