I got my lasik procedure done here. I was apprehensive, mostly because anything to do with my eyes kind of freaked me out. I went under a free consolation. The nurses/assistants were very nice and they answered any questions I had. Then I met Dr. Herschel and he was very nice and understanding. He explained all that would happen, how everything works, how long recovery will be, everything. So, I agreed and start the process. I love the fact you always meet with Dr. Herschel at every appointment. I now have 20/20 vision. I'd highly recommend going to him for all of your vision needs. read more

I've never been to a fancy doctor's office. The waiting area is so cute. It took me by surprise! I've never felt more calm and comfortable waiting for a doctor. Dr Herschel is amazing!! He explained everything to me in detail and was super empathetic. He gave me the best 'second opinion' and I'm so glad that I was referred to him. His staff is great, he's ima good location, and he's a really great doctor. Amazing care!! read more

See all

I got LASIK done with Dr. Herschel and I could not have had a better experience with him and his staff. From the beginning the office felt like home, it is so nice, clean, and cozy. The staff knew me by name after my first visit and treated me like a friend, I felt super comfortable with all of them which made my surgery not so nerve-wracking. They really made me feel prepared. I have dry eyes so they set me up with a two week dry eye regimen beforehand to make sure my eyes would not be uncomfortably dry after the surgery, and it was included in the cost, no up charge or add ons. My surgery was quick and easy, and they took great care of me. My vision is now even better than 20/20 and my life is changed. LASIK is truly a miracle and I can't recommend Herschel LASIK enough. read more

TL;DR - Best decision I've made, both getting LASIK and choosing Herschel LASIK. Dr. Herschel and his team were amazing. As someone that deals with vasovagal issues, I delayed LASIK for quite some time. After meeting with Dr. Herschel the first time, I k new I wanted him to perform the procedure. He meets with each patient personally, and tailors your procedure to your eyes. As someone who can also be a bit OCD, I was pleased by the level of detail he took, the time he spent explaining each portion of my eye and how it would impact the surgery, and even took digital pictures of my eye and eyelids to show me what he meant. The procedure itself was actually very simple and painless. The aftercare was great, and now, 9 months later, I'm still testing between 20/15 and 20/10. I interviewed several facilities, and Dr. Herschel really did stand out, both in his personal attention and in his simply being there to see me each visit. If you're reading this and have looked into other centers, you'll likely have experienced a consultation that included everything EXCEPT the doctor performing the surgery (because they were at a different office perhaps). This is not the case with Herschel LASIK. Again, thank you Dr. Herschel and team! read more

Loved my experience with the amazing staff and care for my surgery. I was nervous, however they took care of all my needs.

Dr. Herschel and his team were exceptional! I got LASIK done 2 weeks ago and am already seeing 20/15! I was very nervous about getting LASIK especially since I had some prior eye complications. Dr. Herschel requested for all my old eye records and examined them thoroughly to make sure I was still a good candidate for LASIK. Dr. Herschel reassured me that my prior complications with my eyes would not affect my LASIK surgery which made me very relieved. The procedure itself went great! After a few hours after I could already see! Dr. Herschel gave me his personal cell phone just in case I needed to call if there was an emergency. Dr. Herschel and his team genuinely care for you, which is why I chose Herschel LASIK. I'm so glad I chose Dr. Herschel and would 100% recommend him to anyone who wants to get LASIK! read more

Honestly the best doctor I've been to. Had my lasik treatment in Oct 2021 and have received nothing but great care and outstanding service from pre-consultation to almost one year post op. Dr.Herschel and his team take the time to get to know you as a patient and offer thorough assessments before, during and after the procedure. I learned more about my eye health in my initial consultation here, than I had from any other eye doctor I've been too (including other lasik eye doctors I was considering - which was concerning as my pre-op eye condition played a major role in my treatment plan). This practice runs like a team where every member is involved with you from initial consultation, to the actual procedure, recovery, and so on. I considered several places before deciding where to go. Many other places appeared to operate on such a large scale that Patients were treated like a number & they'd say anything to get you in the door. Not here, no gimmicks, no pressuring. It was a stark difference. I'd recommend Hershel Lasik to anyone considering lasik in the Orlando area. Treatment was affordable and comparable to other places (if not better), however it is their service, knowledge, & consistency in care that are unmatched. read more

LASIK was a procedure that I wanted to get for a very long time because I felt like glasses were a huge burden. I was deciding between 3 different LASIK centers but ultimately decided on Herschel due to their glowing reviews on here. Let me tell you - it certainly lived up to the hype. Experience: -Pre Surgery First off I got a consultation which went well and had to do dry eye treatment - one of the drops they want you to take is fairly expensive but luckily they give you a decent amount of free samples to get started. This was about 3 weeks. I was then scheduled for surgery on 5/18/17 and I won't lie I had many second thoughts and was searching complications online etc, this is pretty normal to feel that way. The one thing that put me as ease is that Dr. Herschel has performed over 20,000 of these surgeries and to me I can't imagine you could mess something up after that many times. -During and directly after The surgery itself was a fascinating experience and for me it took about 15-20 minutes. Afterwords my eyes were in pain and as soon as I got home I fell asleep for 4 hours and had absolutely no pain. The next day I scored 20/20 and they had also correct a slight astigmatism I had. My eyes were very dry for the next 2-3 weeks and thereafter felt normal. After about a month or so all light sensitivity, glare, starbursts, and halos disappeared from lights - initially I was worried that this was permanent but your eyes need some time to fully heal. -Staff & Facility Overall the staff is very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed all my interactions with the staff and their professionalism. I recently needed to fill out a LASIK waiver and they were very prompt and helpful with all the documentation I needed despite how annoying I likely was. This definitely took them to the next level especially because I was a post-op client. The facility is very nice but its dark - this is because many people are getting their eyes dilated for exams. I HIGHLY recommend you go here for your surgery, I also received a decent discount for paying cash/credit and not financing - unclear if this offer is still around. Almost a year later my eyes are only dry if I have excessive screen time and my last eye exam I scored 20/15 on both eyes. My only complaint: sometimes at the checkups you may end up waiting much longer than you expected but such is to be expected from a place with high demand. (one time I waited 45 minutes and decided to just reschedule) read more

I honestly don't know what I would do without Dr. Herschel. I had terrible vision from the time I've been a child. My eyesight was -8.5 and -7.5. Dr. Herschel got me to 20/20 vision with lasik. The process was easy, painless, and affordable. The staff is incredible, friendly, helpful and kind. The Dr himself is amazing. I recommend anyone who is considering lasik to go here! read more

I went to Herschel Lasik for a free consultation and immediately noticed the difference of this office. The staff was all friendly and knowledgable. Dr. Herschel answered all of my questions, and we scheduled my procedure! The procedure took maybe 10 minutes, and I got some meds to help with anxiety. I was sent home to nap, and when I woke up, I could see! I was shocked! I was driving the next day. I have had some issues with post-op dryness and swelling, but the team has been very good at answering my questions on the phone and getting me in for appointments quickly to get everything resolved as soon as possible. I have had a great experience getting Lasik done with Dr. Herschel! read more

I did my LASIK procedure in June 2018. Procedure was uneventful. I couldn't believe how clear I saw the following day as the day of the procedure, your eyes are swollen and very teary. As time went by, my left eye was 20/20 and right eye 20/30. Prior to my procedure, my lenses prescription was -3.75 left eye and -4.25 right eye. I had retreatment for my right eye Feb 2019 and can see closer to 20/15. Staff is wonderful, professional and welcoming. Dr Herschel is also professional, caring about his work and approachable. Highly recommend! read more

Great service, sometimes a bit of a wait, but I take a full lobby as a sign of a well recommended doctor. Staff is friendly & quick to answer phones & squeeze me in when I got an eye problem. Would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to get Lasik. Doctor even personally called to check on me the night after my procedure. read more

I spend 3 months looking for a LASIK surgeon, but was not confident in any options I came across until Herschel Lasik was recommended. From the time I first made my consultation appointment, to after my surgery I was treated with world class service and respect. The experience & service at Herschel Lasik tops private jet travel and 5 star European hotels. Dr. Herschel personally went over my before eye conditions, treatment plan, and answered all my questions. Dr. Herschel and his staff are highly educated and experienced in eye correction surgery. It was very comfortable and I am so happy with my results. I would recommend Herschel LASIK to my loved ones, friends, and anyone else. read more

The team at Herschel Lasik is incredible! I had my corrective surgery just 5 days ago and tested 20/15 this morning. Dr. Herschel saw my eyes were dry during my first consultation (from wearing contacts for years) and put me on a dry eye treatment for a couple weeks which made a huge difference. I went into surgery with the healthiest eyes possible and already feel like my eyes are healed (I drove at night & in the rain just two days later and could see perfectly.) Beatriz the office manager and all the staff are extremely knowledgeable and patient- it's a smaller private practice so you feel the personalized care. Flexible hours- they work with your schedule and even offer a weekend surgery option. Best decision I have ever made and I highly recommend this practice! read more

What an amazing staff , along with an amazing doctor. Everyone is so nice, informative, caring and always have your best interest at heart . They take time to answer all your questions. It's a beautifully decorated office to match the beautiful staff who work there. I wish I did this sooner, loving life without glasses at 48 read more

I can not say enough good things about Herschel Lasik. The Doctor and staff are absolutely wonderful! I made the BEST decision to go there for my Lasik. The care, concern and follow ups are not the same as other facilities in the area - my friends and co-workers did not receive the same wonderful care that I did. I can not stress enough that this is 'The Place'' to go! I made the call Through QualSight Lasik and they set everything up for me. Absolutely flawless and stress free! read more

I am so happy to have had Dr. Herschel and his team perform LASIK on me. My husband, who had it done by them 10 years ago (and are still perfect), referred me to him. From the first moment I walked in, everyone was so nice to me. There is never more than a 2 min wait for anything. It is so clean and friendly. And the whole team is there for you every step of the way. Dawn even held my hand during the procedure because my anxiety kicked in. They even called to check on me that night and the next morning after the procedure to make sure I was ok. Not many places in the whole country have a bedside manner like they do. I would highly recommend Dr. Herschel and his team to anyone needing their eyes done. I always say go to the best and THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!! read more

1st day post-op and I can't be any happier. Dr Herschel and his staff are fantastic. They explain everything and walk you through your whole procedure. I would recommend them to anyone and I would recommend the surgery to anyone. Like everyone says "why didn't I do this before"...we vlogged my entire experience please check it out at https://youtu.be/dSwFXvsja2Y read more

The experience at Herschel LASIK is truly world class. Every staff member is there to walk patients through the entire process of LASIK surgery from the first phone call through scheduling, payment plans and pre and post operative processes. Dr. Herschel meets every patient prior to surgery day and has a surgical consultation to explain all vision correction options available. Dr. Herschel follows all of his patients post operatively and is a Board Certified Corneal Specialist. read more

I loved my experience here! Dr. Herschel and his staff were extremely caring and friendly. They make you feel at home in the office offering snacks, hot and cold beverages and a home like atmosphere. The procedure was quick and was explained each and every step of the way! read more

This place is amazing! The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere of the office is so welcoming. I was very nervous about going through with the procedure but Dr. Herschel and his team made me feel very comfortable. The doctor even called me the same day as the surgery to make sure I was ok and see if I had any questions. Talk about grade A customer service! I should have done this sooner... It's such a good feeling to wake up in the morning and see clearly without the hassle of contacts or glasses. Thank you so much!!! read more

Dr. Herschel and his staff (Dawn and Brittany) are the most genuine individuals I have ever met. They all truly care about their patients and are all honest people. I had Lasik surgery three weeks ago and it was the best decision I have ever made. Dr. Herschel is an expert in his field. read more

I heard about Dr. Herschel from a coworker, and I have no regrets picking his service to do my Lasik surgery. Every staff member, including Dr. Herschel, puts patient care as the top priority and they treat you so well from the first consultation and beyond. As the other person mentioned, Dr. Herschel meets with you personally BEFORE the actual surgery day, making sure you are comfortable with everything. He also does a great job of walking you through each step during the surgery, eliminating a lot of fear. On top of this, they have a nice financial assistance program to pay for it, making Lasik correction an actual affordable option. I have 20/20 vision now, and I couldn't have picked a better place. I recommend it to everyone I know. read more

Where to begin.. I am a Commercial Pilot and I was referred to Dr. Herschel by one of my colleagues who had nothing but great things to say about her experience with Herschel Lasik. I was glad to have her recommendation, because I searched the Central Florida area tirelessly to find the right doctor that I felt comfortable with and I just wasn't having that feeling with the other doctors that I met with. Most of the places felt like Lasik factories where you were just part of an assembly line. You will know just by walking into Herschel Lasik, that you are going to receive a much more personal experience. Also knowing that I would need the Federal Aviation Administration to sign off on the procedure before I would be allow to return to the cockpit, made my decision that much more important. I needed a doctor I knew I could work with. Just as I am sure you are nervous, I was too. I watched countless youtube videos of the Lasik procedure and that was almost enough to make me not want to do it. Try not to waste your time freaking out, because there is nothing to freakout about. Dr. Herschel and his staff did a superb job explaining the entire process to me before and even during the procedure so I knew exactly what to expect at all times. There were no surprises. I consider myself somewhat of a special case, which is why I feel the absolute need to write this review. I had really bad vision before getting Lasik and lets just say that I wore my contacts much longer than I should have. My eyes just weren't in great shape. Where most offices would just have you pull your number in the assembly line, Dr. Herschel didn't do that. He wanted to make sure we had my eyes in good health before doing the procedure. This assured that my recovery was painless. Healthy eyes = great recovery! Dr. Herschel has your best interest in mind first and foremost, unlike some of the other places around town that just want your money. There really isn't anything to the procedure so I will leave that part up to the professionals to explain to you, but here is why I really recommend Doctor Herschel. It was after I recovered from my procedure I was going back for periodic check-ups when Dr. Herschel noticed that my eyes were getting very bloodshot. He assured me that my eyes were fine, but he was concerned that I had an underlying health condition that were making my eyes turn red. He put me in contact with a very well known Rheumatologist in the Orlando area and told me that I might be suffering from some type of autoimmune disorder. Wouldn't you know it, the stars all started to align and I began connecting the dots. I was hospitalized a few months after my lasik procedure with a viral infection and the virus literally crippled me. I eventually recovered (so I thought), but I was having trouble getting approval from the FAA to let me fly again after being hospitalized from the virus. My rheumatologist found that my body was suffering from pretty severe Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondilitis. This sounds horrible, but honestly it was music to my ears! With the right treatment from my rheumatologist, my pain subsided and wouldn't you know it, the redness in my eyes began to go away. So it goes without saying that I owe it to Dr. Herschel, not only for giving me the great gift of ditching my glasses and contacts after 16 years, but because of him I was able to get to the bottom of a very serious condition that was literally ruining my career and quality of life. After having been out of work for almost a year, I am happy to say that I am returning skyward as of tomorrow. This time with a new pair of eyes and I can't wait! I hope you find this review helpful and trust me when I say that Dr. Herschel is an outstanding Ophthalmology. He isn't just any old doctor that performs Lasik Surgery, but he is a key tool for McGruder Eye Institute and has extensive experience with Lasik, cataract and other special cases just like mine. read more

Every single part of Herschel Lasik is exceptional. From Dr. Herschel himself to Dawn,Brittany, Norma, and Mckayla, they are all incredible people and made this process so simple and pleasant. My dad even went as far as saying in his 25 year pharmaceutical sales career, it is one of the most impressive offices he has ever been around. . Surgery day is such a breeze(he has all state of the art equipment). Everyone makes you feel so comfortable and afterwords monitors you so closely. Within the next couple days, I had almost perfect vision! To top it all off, Dr Herschel was a tiny bit late on surgery day due to an EMERGENCY corneal transplant surgery. He felt so bad for being late that he bought me a gift card! At every single step of the process they go above and beyond what is required....All around incredible experience! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Herschel to anyone interested in Lasik! read more

Dr. Herschel is by far one of the best doctors I have come across in years! I honestly have to say he cares and is very cautious. His staff makes you feel like you are with family rather than in a doctor's office. This doctor has bedside manners. My eyes are healomg great and I feel confident in Dr. Herschel's work. I went to visit 3 LASIK consultations at 3 different offices. I am so glad I went to Dr. Herschel. You don't find this kind of doctor very often now a days. He takes his time with everyone. My eyes thank me for choosing him and if you are thinking about LASIK your eyes will thank you too if you choose Dr. Herschel! read more

Dr. Herschel has impeccable bedside manner. He is meticulous and will delay your procedure to ensure that your eyes are healthy enough to recover from surgery. As a contact wearer for 20 years my eyes were in bad shape and not very healthy. Dr. Herschel put me on a 2 week program to get my eyes on good shape for the LASIK procedure. As a result my recovery time was about 24-48 hours. I had no glare or haziness and my night vision is perfect. Unlike other places, this is HIS practice and is not just a doctor mill that has doctors in and out one day to the next who don't have to care about reputation. His practice is a very comfortable and welcoming place. His staff are patient and even let me hold her hand during the procedure! I can't say enough about this place and am so happy I shopped around and went to various places because it helped me figure out that this place is the best place to have my procedure done. read more

Highly recommend Herschel Lasik. Dr.Herschel and staff were extremely friendly,professional, and caring. I couldn't be happier. I'm so happy that have chosen Herschel Lasik. The surgery was unbelievable fast, and painless. Second day post op, I can see everything so clear. I now have 20/20 even better vision. Thanks to Dr.Herschel and his staff! read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this office. I was initially very anxious about having surgery on my eyes, but Dr. Herschel and the team were outstanding. They answered all of my questions and helped to ease my fears. Dr. Herschel is a perfectionist! He took close-up photos of my eyes to explain certain anatomical features. I was placed on eye drops prior to my treatment to help decrease likeliness of dry eyes after the surgery. I even returned to the office several times before my surgery to ensure that I was consistently getting the same results when "reading the eye test". The surgery was also easier than I expected. There was no pain and minimal discomfort. My vision was immediately improved and by the next day, I began to appreciate what a difference this had made in my life. I have been wearing glasses since I was a child and I'm finally able to open my eyes and see without needing glasses or contacts. I would recommend this surgery to anyone and my only wish is that I had done it sooner! I highly recommend Dr. Herschel and his excellent team. read more

I had PRK eye surgery on October 22, 2016--- I highly recommend Dr. Herschel and his wonderful staff to anyone that needs an eye procedure/surgery. Dr. Herschel and his staff are impeccable in their skills- friendly- caring- helpful- professional- knowledgeable! Dr. Herschel- Dawn- McKayla- Jennifer- Brittany- Norma- are wonderful and you feel "like family" when you enter their office door! The office is state of the art and welcoming. I was "afraid" of eye surgery- but they take such great care of you- (explaining everything that is happening) I was fine- they even held my hands during the surgery. I thank Dr. Herschel- Dawn-McKayla-Jennifer- Brittany- Norma for everything and just being "the best"! Susan L. (Orlando,Fl) read more

Dr Herschel is awesome thorough doctor. Dr.Herschel's work speaks for itself. His bedside manner is very comforting. Always ready to answer any questions you might have to set you a ease prior to any procedure. And his staff is also very warm and welcoming. read more

My experience with Herschel Lasik has been not only first class every step of the way but it has been simply amazing . I can now see better than I ever could even with glasses or contacts! After speaking with other people that went to Hershel Lasik , after going to other consults, I felt completely comfortable & excited for surgery day . Everything is explained every step of the way . I was amazed that I was able to watch TV that evening and see without my glasses . Dr. Hershel is a corneal specialist which is very important to consider when picking a doctor for Lasik surgery for your eyes. He is the one you speak to at the consult and he also explains everything to you . His staff is very friendly, welcoming , and treat you like the important patient that you are . The office is very comfortable , clean , and modern . Dawn was so helpful in scheduling my procedure and making sure I was comfortable the whole time . She was there for each of my appointments and checking in on me . Brittany is among the friendly welcoming faces you see when entering the office . Jen and Mcala were also super nice. The whole staff was just great to me and my family. Dr . Hershel makes himself & staff available to his patients so they can text or call if they have any questions or concerns after the procedure. Appointments based on your personal schedule are also made . Very accommodating to the busy and working adult . They put you first ! I highly recommend Dr. Hershel if you are considering Lasik surgery. read more

I have had a great experience using Dr. Herschel's services. I am very picky about cosmetic procedures and always choose individual, established doctors over spas. I did a ton of research. I initially chose Dr. Herschel because I wanted to get PRK laer eye surgery, which not many doctors offer anymore. I drove from Sarasota to Orlando to visit this office. I ended up lost (thanks a lot, Google Maps!), and an hour late, which they were kind enough to still see me. Once I met the staff and the doctor, I felt very comfortable with them. I was not going to shop around once I had found a good doctor. I actually decided to go with all-laser lasik after a thorough discussion, weighing my drive time and follow-up care, along with healing time. Throughout my numerous visits, I have never been kept waiting very long, whether I show up early or slightly running behind (it is hard to time exactly when driving 2-2.5 hours each way, driving through theme-park traffic and rush hour, no less). the follow-up care has been great and I would recommend this doctor and staff to anyone, including my mother. :) read more
