Manrique Custom Vision Center - Front of office - Laser Eye Surgery/Lasik Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

While my long vision is great, my near vision has gotten worse after the surgery however and needed to get close up glasses. I also have numerous black squiggly lines that affect one eye that makes me think I see things moving that are not there. I also have intermittent pain when I move my eyes. Make sure you find out any negative affects and weigh the cost. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! It's a scam!! First of all, you don't even see a doctor at your consultation! The "marketing" manager does ALL the talking! They will get you to fill out all the paperwork, run your credit, talk you into financing BUT will get the money before you even have the procedure!!!! Read the other bad reviews! Don't trust the 5 star reviews! I've spoken to so many people who have used them and their eyes are only fixed temporarily before they are back there! And guess what...you'll need another procedure!!! Do NOT USE!!! DO NOT FALL FOR THE "CELEBRITY" pictures. It's all a SCAM! EDITED***(after Richard replied) Didn't you just get back from vacation Richard? You're the hardest man to get ahold of! Let alone " your free consultation" isn't free and the consultation isn't even with a doctor! Your office never answers the phone and we have to leave messages, I'm assuming because yall screen your calls. My review is based on my immediate family member who fell for your commercials and went in and the countless of people I've spoken to after our bad experience with you! There'sa great place right down the road where people actually see the doctor for the consultation. They answer every single call! We will forever turn everyone away from your company! Horrible service! read more

On May 5th, 2022, I had my Lasik done on both eyes and it's been about 7 months now and I'm back at 20/20 on both eyes and they have taken out my astigmatism as well. I'm very happy that I did this procedure after waiting for 53 years. No more contacts or glasses. If you're wanting to go and get your Lasik done, go to Manrique Custom Vision Centers for your Lasik needs. Everybody at this business is great, understanding, comforting, gentle, and makes sure that you have the best experience while getting your Lasik eye procedure. I recommend this business for all your Lasik Needs!!! read more

I give a two star because the staff is really nice including Dr Manriquez. but after having lasik two years ago and still having issues.. Got both eyes done then the left again the. the right again.. I still can see fine with out glasses. it has been a terrible experience. This procedure is not cheap and to not be able to see a menu or read a book. Not even be able to fill out paperwork at the doctors office. All I'm told is to keep on using the drops and give it time. I'm tired.. I wish Ihar just stuck with my glasses. I could see perfect then. read more

It was ok while it lasted. if you hav 4k+ to spare for 15 month of good vision, go for it. I had one eye adjusted for reading, and one eye for far vision. I was so happy to finally be able to read without readers. Driving at night was so much better, because traffic and head lights didn't have that overwhelming glare anymore. But now I had to deal with dry eyes, and not being able to identify my son on the soccer field. During every checkup I voiced concern that I expected better. For 12 month I was assured my vision is great and advised to continue using my eye drops. I did. 15 month after the procedure I was back to zooming in on photos and reading on devices . After 18 month I was back to wearing 1.5 readers at ALL times. I called and inquired about the free touch up that was offered. I was told since it's been more than a year, I would have to start over as a new customer. Or I can see another ophthalmologist and see what they can do for me. Ah you were telling me for a whole year that all is fine! Now you're telling me it's too late. My vision is back to being as bad as when I started, plus the dry eyes that I didn't have to deal with before. I trusted the reputation, the good reviews, and the famous people gallery you can see inside the office. Don't get fooled by that. Those celebrities might be back to wearing readers as well. read more

Just a consultation review: Rude staff / not professional. I went in for a complimentary consultation (great) to be "greeted" at the door and told, "Those are some thick glasses". Never have I received a comment like that from a medical professional. Yes, I have poor vision. I found out that the person who greeted me was the Sales Manager. After my consultation with a nice lady in the back I met with the Sales Manager again who continued to be rude and extremely aggressive. I've had better experiences at car lots. Such negative and unprofessional vibes there. On the hunt to find a more professional office. read more

I highly recommend Manrique based on my recent experience. I had heard good things from friends and the advertisements on the radio. I went in for my consultation, which was very easy to setup, and it went quickly and smoothly. The appointment was efficient, professional and convenient for me. Fonzie, the consultant who did my testing and follow up was extremely professional and friendly. read more

If I could put 0 stars I would... I've been attempting to work with the office since I had surgery last year. I was not a candidate for LASIK which I knew was a possibility due to a condition, so I was led towards the IOL, basically a cataract surgery with a corrective lens IMPLANT(meaning "permanent"). I agreed to the surgery and paid $7500 as that was my credit limit on one card and was told I could pay the remainder on a Care Credit card when the second eye would be done a month later. I had surgery on Oct 4th, I followed ALL the drops instructions and artificial tears. I knew something was off within a few days and later the weeks coming. I came in for my follow ups and voiced my concerns and expressed how my eyesight was not right, that it was still blurry and fuzzy. They scheduled me for a YAG procedure and even put plugs in my eyes claiming it has to be because my eyes are dry that my sight isn't "right". So I expressed that I do use my eye drops like instructed and that it wasn't making a difference. I continued to go to my follow ups and the follow up Dr.'s even noticed that my vision in the surgery eye was still off on my script and was told I could put a contact in that eye. The young lady told me that they would order me the contacts for my surgery eye and also some for the eye that was still waiting for surgery. Weeks went by and I had not heard anything. At one of my follow ups I had asked for my medical records and it took over a month to get them. I had let them know at the follow up that I had looked for a second and even third opinion and was told that I was OVERCORRECTED for an astigmatism that I didn't have, now I have astigmatism because a Toric multifocal lens was used. I even showed the implant card to these eye doctors and they were baffled as to why I was given a lens that wasn't good for my eye and that I need an IOL exchange. I have reached out to Richard on more than one occasion about seeing the doctor to get this resolved and I get the run around or no one contacts me back. At one appointment I was tag teamed by both the young lady and Richard about how seeking another opinion was not really an option, that Dr. Manrique is the "commander" and we all follow the 'commanders" orders. I am no longer in the military and find it extremely unprofessional to try to compare a doctor to a commander to a veteran. I let it slide but I am tired of asking them for a resolution that is not coming. I have asked to speak with Dr. Manrique multiple times and it has not happened yet. I am now seeking a malpractice lawsuit as I am unable to facilitate my business which is doing lash extension. How do I do lash extensions when I now have NO near sight vision because it is blurry. I cannot read clearly either. The ONLY feedback I would get is to do my other eye and "they'll begin to work together". I don't know about others, but if one eye is not correct, why would I let you mess up my only good eye now. I have let others who have asked me about my experience if I would recommend them and it is a HARD NO! Not only because of my poor results(which I was told is within their margin of error), but also because of the unprofessionalism, the condescending, the lack of empathy and respect for the patient, as well as the gaslighting that is done in this clinic. I cannot speak on how they are at LASIK, I can only speak on my Lens replacement. The healing and surgery itself is fine, its the fact that a lens that was NOT correct was ordered, implanted and now isn't working and they do not want to take ANY accountability. It's supposedly "my dry eyes" fault. If that's the case, then why am I having to wear contacts in BOTH eyes again and have such an off script that I cannot work. Several eye surgeons have recommended an IOL exchange, but anytime I ask about this I am ignored. I'm attaching my scripts I have got get done now. I need 3 different prescriptions after this less than desirable job from whoever placed the lens order. I've asked for an IOL exchange to a CORRECT lens but nope read more

See all

My wife received treatment here. They are doing some sketchy practices. The treatment itself was good but after, my wife's info was what seems intentionally misspelled or typo on official documents. Her info was spelled correctly on non official documents. A couple weeks go by and it seems as if Manrique vision filed for a credit card on my wife's behalf. We are in the process of filing a dispute with the credit bureau and looking into identity theft. Staff has been unprofessional on the phone by talking to other people in the background (not related to our phone call). I think there is some sketchy stuff going on. read more

Do your research! There are Lasik providers offering good vision warranties. Ten years ago Manrique himself corrected my vision at the La Cantera location and he did a great job. But over the past 10 years my vision declined. Recently, I received a consultation. Fortunately, the change to my vision was minor and the recommendation was to correct a single eye. The cost would be $1,500. Remember, I am a returning patient. When I heard the cost, I was disappointed. This is because I found a Lasik provider that offers a warranty on the procedure. In this scenario, if I had gone to them intially, this modification, and future ones would cost me nothing. So make sure to ask about coverage of future corrections. Avoid putting yourself in the situation for having to pay again to keep your 20/20 vision. read more

I never thought in my life I would never need glasses. It feels like a dream come true. I was born cross eyed and had coke bottle glasses all 31 years of my life with multiple eye surgeries throughout the years. I could not read at all without my glasses not see. I was referred to Dr. Manrique by a dear friend who said I really needed it. My doctor told me I could never do a procedure like this. I went in for my consultation and they were confident they could fix my eyes. Here I am today typing this review with tiny letters my screen, not using glasses! Seeing perfectly just a day after my procedure. I want to cry. Dr. Manrique and his entire team made the whole process easy, simple, fast, and there are all very very sweet and encouraging. I am extremely thankful to everyone at their office and highly recommend anyone who wears glasses to make an appointment and have your life changed. read more

TL:DR - find an experienced small ophthalmology practice where they treat their patients like family, not cattle. I was recommended to go here by another dentist and everywhere I read pointed to the surgeon being the best in the area. That's not what I'm challenging. I can see really well, and he's a trainer for lasers so he is VERY skilled. That's the only thing this office has going for it. Let's start at the beginning. You come in for a "free consultation" - they only do two tests that determine whether you can have Z-lasik. I warned them at this point that I have a large scar on my right eye from trauma so I've always been worried about qualifying. The "money guy" who is not a doc said that it's not a problem, they'll get me taken care of with Lasik. I was obligated to put a $1k of the $4k to continue all the tests that day which I was prepared to pay since he said I'd be getting lasik and I'd done my research on the surgeon before my consultation. Well after more testing and a condescending comment about my scarring, she told me I would definitely need ASA in my right eye instead of Lasik. Then I was whisked back to the money guy before I could get over the shell shock and ask questions. I was terrified to schedule because ASA is a very different surgery and recovery than Lasik. It requires reepithelialization of your cells across your eye and can take months to years to heal to 100%. But even though they changed my treatment plan, I was stuck scheduling with them or losing $1000. I had so many questions about whether I'd still be able to work right away, how doing two different surgeries would affect my vision while healing, etc. And the money guy's response was just "You worry too much, you need to relax and trust us." That's not an appropriate response when you drastically change the treatment plan. Then there was my major phobia. Every new person I met I informed of how phobic I was about touching or getting near my eyes. They all just kept saying that's normal, but mine is not just a normal fear. I visibly shake, sometimes hyperventilate and I can't control my phobia no matter how hard I try to. Yet this info kept not getting passed along. As a dentist, I treat phobic patients everyday and it's very important that we treat them with love and care so they're not made to feel guilty about their phobia and so we can try to rewrite their fear into a good patient-doctor relationship. That brings me to today. The tech that was prepping my eyes didn't know I was phobic so I reminded her and requested that I sit with the Valium long enough to let it take affect, and to please tell Dr. Manrique of my phobia. Neither happened. I was given the pill and sat for maybe 5-8 minutes before a tech took me back. This is where I just couldn't believe how cattle method they were. The previous patient was literally getting off the table from their surgery as I was being brought into the surgery suite. I knew I wasn't fully relaxed, but I figured there'd be time where they set up the laser and chat with me. Nope. As soon as I layed down Dr. M started squirting a bunch of drops in my eyes and I gasped, and started shaking and squirming. He yelled at me and asked if I was going to be able to do the surgery today because I can't move at all. It was terrifying. He was terrifying. I kept my mouth shut and just sat on my hands because I was so afraid. It was the worst 10 minutes of my life. I was shaking when it was over and he's just smiling like "Look you can see, send me all your friends." I turned to him and said "I'm guessing no one told you how eye phobic I am." And he just brushed it off and said that everyone doesn't like their eyes touched. No matter how hard I tried to communicate that I'm not just a normal patient when it comes to eye procedures, they ignored me. It was so obvious that he did not care to get to know me and my fears because I was just another 10 minute cash cow coming through. I was whisked off to another exam room with what I assume was an optometrist and was shaking so hard and crying because of how horrible of an experience the procedure was. No one apologized, no one asked if I was ok. They just gave me post op instructions and pushed us out the door because they needed the room for their next patient. The thing is, I get that this is my issue. I get that it's annoying to have to be patient with people who are phobic. But I would NEVER start a surgery on a patient of mine without them being comfortably sedated. I'm constantly talking to my patients throughout and helping them stay calm and have as good of an experience as possible. This doctor failed on all those accounts and I will NEVER recommend anyone see him. He embodied everything that is wrong with medicine - uncaring, revenue driven, quantity over quality, "trust me I'm the Doctor" service. It's sickening. read more

I definitely recommend Manrique Custom Vision if you are in prescription glasses and contacts. Dr. Manrique and his medical staff were able to not only correct me to a 20/20 right after the procedure but to a 20/15! It has been only 12 days since my z Lasik and I am doing phenomenal and I am beyond grateful they could fix my vision. I had been in glasses since I was in the 2nd grade suffering from far sightedness and severe astigmatism. My astigmatism had gotten so bad that I could no longer tolerate wearing even daily contacts because they would hurt and bother my eyes so bad and I could no longer enjoy the outdoors. At the age of 26 and living a fast and busy lifestyle I am always on the go and z Lasik has been the best decision I have made to improve my every daily quality of life and busy lifestyle! I am glad I chose Manrique Custom Vision to cure my vision. Thank you Dr. Manrique and Dr. MCclure and the entire medical staff for the amazing work you all do!!! -J.J. read more

Manrique Custom Vision Center - Laser Eye Surgery/Lasik Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Went in for a consultation a few years ago to see what could be done to get me out of my 3 different eye prescriptions. Was told I had the beginning of cataracts and they recommended very expensive lenses that would take care of my farsighted, nearsighted and astigmatism. After the first eye was operated on I told them it didn't feel right. For a year I argued with them then finally let them do the other eye. Here I am 4 years later and still need glasses only now it is dangerous for me to drive at night because the halos around every light is so severe. They really only care about the money. read more

I've vacillated for about 5 years whether I would have lasik surgery or not. The one thing I didn't vacillate about was who and where I would go to have the surgery. My husband told me about Dr. Manrique and said, "if you're going to have the surgery, this is where you should go." The day of my consultation the Director of Operations, Richard Doinoff told me, "if you have the surgery you will ask yourself why did you wait so long?" He was absolutely correct!!! I asked myself why did I wait so long?!? The results were beyond phenomenal! I had a pretty severe stigmatism and needed glasses to see far away and EVEN close up. The day of the surgery I did exactly as instructed which was sleep for 4-6 hours to aid in the healing process. Once I woke up I REALLY was astonished how I could text, watch television, and do normal things without my glasses. Dr. Manrique and the staff are professional, kind, and patient. I definitely needed them to be patient with me because even though I was finally having the surgery I was nervous as heck. If you're thinking about lasik I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Manrique and his team! read more

Worst customer care, all they want is your money. The ladies at the front are extremely rude. After your service, be sure to be persistent because they will say your issue is just dry eyes until you are past the time to get anything fixed. Then, cut you off as a clien. They don't care about you! read more

Super quick and painless. I got the ASA not lasik due to my eyes. The worst part (which isn't even bad) is the recovery period. Sucks that you have to pay to have normal vision but I had a great experience with Dr. Manrique! read more

From the minute I walked in the office, I was considered family. My initial consultation ended in some devastating news. I wasn't a prefect candidate for Lasik because I had a corneal disease known as, keratoconus. The staff immediately eased my nerves by giving me a solution to still get rid of my contacts and glasses and still have perfect 20/20 vision. To this day I cannot believe that I can wake up and see clearly all on my own without the assistance of glasses or contacts. Manrique Custom Vision changed my life and I am forever in their debt! Do yourself a favor and go change your life for the better and go get that free consultation! Thank you to the staff, Richard for being a true friend, and Doctor Manrique himself for being the best at his profession and changing the lives of others! read more

The best doctor in town!!!! I would definitely recommend doctor Manrique and his staff all super nice and helpful !!

I DON'T recommend doing mono vision lasik. I had one eye done for reading and a year and a half later I was back in reading glasses. Asked about a fix and was told I would need an enhancement and it was more $$. That was a lot of money for such a short time. read more

I went in for a consult in San Antonio from Austin after having had Lasix with Dr. Manrique 18 years ago to correct nearsightedness. Now in my 40's, I had to go and see what they could do for seeing up close. I was glad I asked. I learned the procedure to correct astigmatism is different, but has very effective results. They were able to show me with lenses something that I'm not really qualified to accurately describe here, but essentially they fix one eye for seeing far and one for up close. Dr. Manrique does all the operations himself and given that he's done more than 40,000 that gives me peace of mind. His very nice staff is beyond helpful, even helping with questions after hours and helping with financing. It's been 11 days and I'm already seeing better than I did before. I'm so glad I did it. In about 15 more days I should see perfectly and I can't wait to play some tennis! read more

15 Months ago I come into the San Antonio office to see if you can fix my vision so I don't have to wear reading glasses. LASIK surgery was recommended so I had it done. I still need to wear reading glasses, and my night vision is not good. I feel that I didn't receive the level of service necessary to correct my vision. These are the reasons I'm asking for a complete refund of my expenses. read more

Terribly terrifying experience. Came in for a "complimentary" eye exam spoke to a person named Alfonso he immediately asked me to sign some papers ( stupid me I did) he told me I would pay $4000 that I could make pmts. At this time I had not even had an eye exam. Unknown to me he had already imputed my SSN # n applied for credit for me and had it approved without telling me this and without my even had an exam. I came back to have an eye exam the next day and was told it would be $7000 I told the person named Alfonso that this would be too much (since I was planning to pay cash and had put aside $4000 for this). He said oh no do not worry your pmts w only be197! I told him I would get back to him. End of that!!!!!$$$$$. Two weeks later I get a statement that I owed $7000 and my pmt was due n if I did not pay in time I would have to pay late fee. I had not scheduled a procedure I had not had a procedure yet I had TO PAY??? I was in shock. Called the credit card company that they had applied for me and was told that too bad this money had already been paid to the Dr and I was responsible for $7000 I have reached out to Manrique eye center and was told oh don't worry we will credit your account as of today I have been told by the credit company that no pmt has been received and Iam still responsible for this!!!!! Do not sign anything they ask you too until you have an eye exam and have scheduled your procedure and gotten a total price. Also Do NOT believe they are offering a SPECIAL $1500 discount because they do not give you a discount they tell u oh it's already been done. Now I have to get legal help to get this resolved WARNIN read more

My formal complaint to the TEXAS MEDICAL BOARD: Dr Carlos Manrique has robbed my Dad's happiness, joy and zest for life for the last 10 years. It breaks my heart what my father has endured. In my personal opinion, he needs to have his license completely revoked and a thorough investigation needs to happen with his entire practice. I can guarantee you on my life that you will find malpractice throughout his files and fraud within his entire operations (to include his employees). About 10 years ago, my dad who lives in Harlingen, TX went to Dr. Manrique for cataract surgery. His life changed forever from that decision. The surgery took place on left eye on 1 day and the following eye the next. Based on my Dad's recollection he relates that he was awake during surgery. During the surgery the Dr. requested from his assistance a tool that was called out by name to continue the procedure. The Dr. requested this tools several times and began raising his voice to his assistant (who had handed him the wrong device). During this small lapse of time my father recalls an uncomfortable nudge/pain in his eye as the Dr. was having the exchange with his assistance. The operation was eventually completed on the left eye and my dad sent home with medications, etc. and was scheduled for the right eye the following day. When my dad went in for surgery the following day...he could not see at all in his left eye. He was given medication to reduce swelling and they proceeded to perform surgery on the right eye. My dad continue to have issues with his left eye and was told by the doctor that the lens was not completely centered within his eye but within parameters. Over the next 10 years Dr Manrique performed another 9+ surgeries on my dad's left eye to deal with the pressure buildup and pain my father was feeling. For the next 10 years my dad has been in pain and never able to see well out of this eye. He continued to endure the surgery, pain/suffering and worry of what went awry on this horrific day. More recently my father had two episodes of going blind in this eye. This motivated him to get a 2nd opinion by eye doctor who my mother sees in San Antonio, TX (Dr. Tomy Stark). This is when the entire picture of what was happening became clear. The lens that was placed in my fathers eye should have been removed immediately (multi focus lens), with a single lens. The lens that was originally placed was done incorrect with a known abrasion on the shelf that supports it. This cut was causing floaters among other things. Since the lens was not positioned correctly, it starting grinding against the optic nerve in my dad's eye. He has since lost over 60% of his optic nerve (most likely more than that). If we had not gone for a 2nd opinion....my dad would be blind in 1 eye. Based on the conversation had at Dr. Starks office, it was obvious to any doctor that this lens should have been removed a long long time ago. MY FATHER ALSO RECALLS SMELLING ALCHOL ON SOMEONE'S BREATH DURING SURGERY ON THE FATEFUL DAY!! My Dad was eventually passed to another practice from Dr Manrique's care stating that their office did not have the equipment for continued care. In my opinion, he was avoiding any further liability. From my understanding....this is a trend with Dr Manrique's practice. He is a quack and greedy. He has caused several people the loss of sight and has caused so much suffering. He does not deserve to practice medicine and it is my hope that a complete and thorough investigation take place immediately before this happens to anyone else's Dad:(. read more

I had such a great experience at Manrique Custom Vision. Thank you for making me feel comfortable during the entire experience. My anxiety stemmed from fearing tools coming towards my eyes- but you can't see a thing. After 15 seconds it's over! My only regret is not doing Lasik years ago. Thank you! read more

My friend had their surgery done there snd they screwed up there eyes and refused to give there money back!!

No complaints about the actual procedure but unfortunately 5 yrs after the surgery, I need reading glasses! I'm told they "may" be able to do something for me but the eye exam is $200. Needless to say I don't think the $4k was worth 5 yrs of being free of glasses. Wish they would've said something about this possibility prior to my procedure. read more

Were horrible about returning calls. Attempts to reschedule near impossible. For questions, no returned calls. Surgery not performed and charged anyway. Attempts to communicate on issue met with no returned calls. Called once to collect on fund before handing over to collection service. When they called the individual did not know how to deal with collecting for services not performed, said someone with more authority would call back. No call back received. read more

They did all the eye screening on me, told me I would never need glasses again, did my first surgery and all went fine, except my near vision was not corrected enough. They jerked me around for almost a year, then did the surgery again to correct the near vision more. It is now Three years later and I need bifocals again! Definitely not worth the money, unless three years is good enough for you. With the costs, the snotty staff, and the discomfort of the surgery, I wish I had never done it, especially since just three years later I am back where I started! read more

Here at appointment. Hardly any wait time for consult. Day of surgery was a breeze, in and out in under an hour. Follow up appointment quick, too. Staff friendly and Dr. And his staff very personable! Not to mention they love their Harleys like we do!!!!! read more

Manrique did awesome job, medical side everyone is friendly and helpful, business answered all tthe questions

I had my Lasik done in August 2014 and have had great results. Best decision I ever made! I went in for an initial consult. I know several people on here complained that if you don't go thru with the exam, there is a fee involved. But they tell you that up front and do an eye exam on you that day, I wouldn't expect an exam to be free. At the exam, I found out I had a scratch on one eye so I could get traditional LASIK done in one eye, but the scratches eye required a procedure called Advanced Surface Ablation (ASA). Basically because of the location of the scratch on my eye, they work on the outer part of the eye and you need to wear a protective lens for a week or two versus them opening a flap on the eye and working underneath that. This was all very well explained and thy told me exactly what to expect. Both procedures were quick and took only a few minutes each. The doctor is only in San Antonio one day a week, so yes expect to go with a group of people and be debriefed together. I met Dr. Manrique the day of the surgery. He can be quick in this prep, but he did stay to answer any questions I had. Just speak up! Plus the staff was amazing and I completely trusted his nursing staff. They gave me a detailed instruction in what to expect for both eyes for after the procedures as well as a drop schedule. My drop schedule even varied on times because I had to have two different procedures done. This was to be expected, you can't expect to laser an eye without the follow up eye drop regimen. Tip: schedule a late appointment so you can go to sleep after the surgery. This helps with the healing and reducing irritable in the eyes after surgery. It's not painful per se, to me it felt like I just had an eyelash in my eye and it was very watery until the next day. I made sure to follow my drop schedule and attend all follow up appointments and had no issues. I have had several friends go here as well all with great results and no unpredicted issues or complications. My friend that that referred me had an astigmatism. the first go round, one eye did not take the procedure. Dr. Manrique scheduled another surgery for her when the eye had properly healed at no charge. The problem was corrected and she's not had any issues. read more

Can't say enough great things about Dr. Manrique and his staff. From initial visit to after the procedure they took the best care of me. By far the best in the business! read more

The staff is pretty nice for the most part. Although I did know the front desk girl. The wait time is super long though. I did my free consultation and it took about an hour to call me back. After hey tell you that you are a candidate they send you to the financial person who tells you it is $5,600 but I told them someone referred me so they dropped it to $4,000 (that was a little fishy) got it done and the follow up process it super annoying and waiting for them to call you back is suck a waste of your day.
