I am a 26-year-old male, who had -8 prescription contacts in both eyes. I was absolutely devastated…read morewhen within a months time at age 25, my tear production gave up. I was no longer able to wear the contacts which gave me vision since my early teens. My eyes were simply too dry. After a few months of misery in glasses, I looked into LASIK. But the price? It was beyond my reach. That is, until I found LASIK on GROUPON. I figured, I need to be very careful, after all, why would any self-respecting doctor need a coupon for customers? Boy was I wrong! I scheduled my initial assessment free of charge, as usual with these places. Upon entering PLC, I was impressed with the organization, presentation, and comfort of the office and staff. I helped myself to some cookies and coffee while I waited. Next, I was greeted by a woman, who brought me into another room, where she performed four tests on my eyes, for measurements and determining my candidacy for the procedure. She then brought me to a final room for one last check. She told me I looked like a great candidate, and that someone else would be with me soon. Just a few moments later, I was greeted by another woman, who was exceedingly helpful in telling me how the procedure works, what to expect, and even the risks involved. All topics which I was educated on already, but it was appreciated nonetheless. I was told about the required eye drops which would be taken three days pre-op as well as afterwards, combined they cost me about 60 dollars. She also assured me that she would be in-office the day of my surgery, and ended up doing my one-month follow-up as well. I was told my measurements would just make the cut for regular LASIK, but that bladeless would be a safer plan. (This is typical of higher prescriptions such as mine). Next, I was brought into a small office, with another young woman. There, we scheduled my procedure date, just under two weeks from that day. We also discussed the price difference between blade/bladeless LASIK, which I wasn't made to pay until my procedure date. I was NOT treated differently than anyone else because I was a Groupon patient. I was treated with respect by all members of the staff throughout. That is important and appreciated! Lastly, much to my surprise, I got to sit down with Dr. Richard Gordon himself. Apparently, according to reviews from other LASIK centers, this isn't as common as you'd expect! Many patients don't even meet their doctor until a minute before their surgery! Dr. Gordon was calm, cool, and collected. He went over similar things which his assistant did just after my assessments earlier, and didn't graze over the possibilities side effects, or worse, ectasia, etc. I left that day feeling very confident in my decision, and looked forward to my procedure date. I'll make this part quick. The office was bustling with employees the day of my surgery, there must have been at least five people watching over my procedure, with Doctor Gordon at the helm. Everyone was positive, happy, and I was given a stuffed elephant to hold while I got zapped. Doctor Gordon has performed countless procedures, and his confidence shows, I felt safe the entire time. The procedure lasted maybe two minutes, and I was sent home right after to nap. I was able to help myself to the office bathroom immediately afterwards (with plenty of discomfort of course, but hey!) and I was able to speed down the highway 24-hours later (YOUR results may vary!) Following the procedure, was about a month of increased dryness, and mild visual aura around light source (Both common and temporary for most) ONE-MONTH POST OP - Dryness from the surgery has subsided, light sensitivity was gone after 24 hours, and my mild visual aura around headlights/street lamps has just about cleared up! Be responsible, and follow all pre/post-op care! If you couldn't already tell, I absolutely loved every minute of time spent with Palisades Laser Eye Center, the employees, and Dr. Gordon. GO HERE. Don't wait another day to be free of glasses or contacts. Again, be responsible, and follow all pre/post-op care!

Another thing I found odd was that when I was waiting to see Dr. Cummins, the older receptionist starts telling me about Dr. Cummins's illustrious educational background. ???? Who does that?!!?? It's as if she wants to justify his $185 fee to non-insured patients. If I had to do it over again, I would see another opthamalogist or optometrist (not optician.)

He genuinely cares and works hard to ensure that you're very happy with your new glasses. I've been seeing Dr. Butler for years and have been extremely happy with all the different glasses I've gotten over the years as my vision naturally declined. So I never had any doubts I was in the right place. But recently I had an eye emergency and was seen by a well-known and respected Ophthalmologist, and during the exam, he asked me who my Optometrist was, and when I told him it was Dr. Butler in Stony Point he immediately was impressed and couldn't say enough nice things about Dr. Butler and how well-respected Dr. Butler is for the great work he does. He said I was in great hands. It made me feel good and reassured what I already believed that I was in the right place seeing Dr. Butler. I highly recommend Dr. Butler and his friendly staff at Vision Plus in Stony Point.

Upon arriving the billing person informed me I would be charged $200 not $40 because I had not met my deductible. I told her I was here for a consultation not any type of procedure or surgery where I would need to meet my deductible. I told her my copay is $40 and she said we are specialists so it's $200. I showed her my insurance card where it stated $40 for specialists. She continued to argue with me and was extremely condescending and rude. She told me if I wanted to see the doctor I must pay $200. I replied that I was leaving and she was completely wrong in what she was trying to bill me. DO NOT go to this practice as you will be incorrectly charged for services.
