LasikPlus Vision Center

CLASSIC BAIT AND SWITCH BEHAVIOR AND A WASTE OF MY TIME!!!
I work in the medical field as a Physician Assistant in the Emergency Room, and I was appalled to see that this kind of behaviors are being used in a medical profession. I expected it with Optometrics, but was surprised that a surgical center would do it. Shame on you!
My wife has wanted the LASIK procedure for years, but due to pregnancy and nursing was not a candidate. Once that status changed, I was excited to offer the procedure as a Christmas present. I researched the locations that offered the options and selected LasikPlus based on an advertised promotion on their website for «up to $ 900 off». I also knew that my EyeMed insurance offered 15% off the standard price or an additional 5% off a promotion price. It seemed too good to be true, and it apparently was. They refused to allow the promotion to be used saying it was «only available on the most expensive procedure which we didn’t need». They ultimately did offer the additional 5% off, but no promotion would be able to be used, so apparently the «up to $ 900 off» is not a spectrum but an all or nothing promotion that MOST people will NOT qualify for.
This wasn’t the most frustrating part of the visit. After watching a promotional video that is meant to answer questions, and touts how perfect the LASIK procedure is for «eyes of all shapes and sizes», we were told by Dr. Shosted that due to the shape of my wife’s eye, the simle LASIK procedure that would allow her to only be down for a day and heal very quickly as shown in the video was no longer an option. Instead, she would need a procedure that would require the complete removal of the cornea, and a gradient improvement of vision from 60% to 100% over the course of weeks. Not surprising was the fact that this procedure cost about $ 550 more PER EYE. And of course no promotions were available on it. When I asked more questions about why THIS procedure had to be done, I was told that I would want the best procedure for my wife’s eye and would not want to «cheap out just to save some money». This is frustrating to me, because when my patient’s come into the ER, I don’t have different services based on their ability to pay. I fix the laceration the way it needs to be done and I do it regardless of the ability to pay. They also explained that the reason why I get different answers about my wife’s candidacy for LASIK from different providers is that «every medical professional practices medicine differently.» Yeah, I get that… I work in the field. What I don’t get is the super convenient manner in which someone can choose to practice medicine in a way that it financially benefits them, regardless of whether the patient needs it or not. Again, SHAME ON YOU GUYS!
The take home message from the visit: 1) LASIK is not as great a procedure as they make it out to be in promotional videos, 2) This facility practices medicine in a way to benefit themselves financially regardless of the needs of the patient and 3) Don’t expect stated promotions to be available because these are simply ploys to get you in the door!!!

Just had both eyes done not even 24 hours ago and my vision already seems 100% better than what it used to be! So glad I finally got to have this done! Dr. Thompson and her staff were super informative. They told me everything they were about to do and while they were doing it. I felt comfortable throughout my whole experience. Thanks so much guys! I’m glad I put my eyes in your hands!

It’s been a little over a month since my Lasik procedure. Best money I’ve ever spent on myself. It’s pretty amazing seeing everything so crystal clear without the need for glasses or contacts!

Love my new vision. Amazing staff from Tanjie to Haley to the Doctors.

This was one of my best experiences. So glad I did it. No pressure experience. I have dry eyes which I wasn’t aware of before my first exam. I had to do some things to help resolve my dry eyes before doing lasik. They end up retesting me twice more. They did this without any guarantee that I was going to get the lasik done. I loved the no pressure atmosphere. They thought moe more about my eyes and I learned more about an issues I have had with my eyes all my life. I would recommend lasikplus to anyone that I know.

This is the second time I am having my eyes corrected and am happy to say they are truly standing by their 100% guarantee.
Everyone has been so nice at the office and they do work hard to give you better eye site. My first procedure was amazing. Dr. Thompson is very easy going which when you know they are about to use a laser in your eyes, can help relax you.
Dr. Shawsted (probably way off on spelling) is very nice and honest. They have been very diligent and making sure I have good eye sight.
Although I wish I didn’t have to get another surgery, I am happy to know the good people of LASIKPlus will be doing it.

I just got my vision corrected with Lasic plus and i just want to say i love all the staff they are so kind and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and answer all of your questions. During the Surgery they give you a lion to hold on to which really helps and i also really liked how they talked to me throughout the whole Surgery telling me what there doing… i had a consultation with hoops before i chose Lasic plus and they were not friendly at all and moved you from person to person which is why i chose lasicplus… i really like how they seem to care at lasicplus and you get the same doctors and i really liked how Doctor Thompson called the night of the surgery to make sure i was ok. Thank you guys for taking such good care of me!

On March 29^th, my wife went in for the free consult, we spent about 90 minutes doing various tests and talking to the reps as well as seeing the Optometrist, Dr. Shosted. Overall from booking the consult, booking the procedure, talking financing and going over our expectations and answering/​asking questions, this was a wonderful experience. The staff was very nice and carried on great conversation, they made us feel as comfortable as possible. My wife had the Lasik procedure done last Friday the 11^th. Doctor Thompson was amazing to work with, she was very kind and patience with us through all of our questions. I’m planning to go and get my Lasik here after we save up a bit more. I would highly recommend LasikPlus, if you’re considering Lasik, go and get your free consultation.
