    Update: 5/16/2024 - Lasik was a success! For those…read moreconsidering it, here are a few things to know. Total time from entering to leaving the clinic is about a hour to an hour and a half. I was lucky only 5 people were ahead of me, but I was told that it can be as much as 20 (so could be longer) - The actual procedure is about 15 minutes. They use a little suction first on the eye. This for me was the most irritation and pain of the process. Due to machine being pressed against eye and has to be centered. Not comfortable. Not long though. - The actual laser you don't really feel anything, the doctor uses a little brush to wipe your eyes. If your eyes water a lot like mine. They do use a tiny little vacuum to get the excess liquid. (kinda like at the dentist but 10x smaller) - Eyes are a little red from the suction. But you notice a difference right away. Can be blurry at times on and off which is normal. Eyes need to heal, but use the drops regularly and recovery so far is great! Recommend! Love the staff there! First time here, was helped by Tamika who was excellent! Very friendly and informative. Came here for the free consultation for lasik. If you never done this before like me. Here is what to expect. (do the patient registration online, saves you time) Took about 1.5 hours from start to finish. They basically do a whole eye exam again and have you watch 8 minute video about the process. They go over pricing, side effects, recovery time and after care after the surgery. Lots of information but so far good experience.

    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 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.

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!

    Everyone who has had LASIK always told me, "Once you get it, you'll wish you got it sooner". I can…read moreconfirm that's 100% true, thanks to LasikPlus! I've had terrible vision since childhood (-0.5 on both sides), and saved up some HSA funds for the procedure. I'd seen countless LASIK ads and deals ($1000 off, etc.) over the years, so sought out a local spot - there are several to choose from in the Twin Cities area. The process went super fast! First, I signed up for an online call to confirm details about my eyes, then the following week I had an in-person consultation. Here's a look at how the process went: CONSULTATION: About an hour and a half long - super detailed, basically a thorough eye exam plus discussion and videos on the LASIK process and a breakdown of cost. At the end, they scheduled me for the following week (!!) for surgery. SURGERY DAY: I had my partner drive me to my appointment, and was in and out in under a half hour. I got my bag of post-op eye drops and pills and info packet, watched a video on aftercare, and waited my turn for the surgery room. SURGERY: I was in and out of the surgery room in under 5 minutes! They numb your eyes, use one machine to make the laser incision, and then walk you to the second machine to make the adjustments to your eye and secure the incision back up. POST-OP: My eyes were numb for the 15 minutes after, so I was feeling great! I walked out with their assistance to my partner's car and he drove me home. When the numbing drops wore off I was pretty uncomfortable for 30 mins, but went home and took tylenol/benadryl and took the mandatory 4-hour nap. When I woke up, the uncomfiness was gone and I could see clearly! I wore sunglasses and took it easy that day, but was so excited how easy it was. RECOVERY: Over the next week, I used the prescribed eye drops and generic eye drops, plus eye lubricant pills. I continued the eye drops and pills for the next few months (still now). My vision got better and better over the few days after my surgery, and I see perfectly. 4 STARS: I had a bit of a strange experience with scheduling, which is why this wasn't a full 5-star experience for me: The surgeon is from Idaho and wanted to take an earlier flight on the day of my scheduled surgery, and he texted me a few nights before my surgery to ask me to reschedule. I had already made work arrangements so it was a challenge to reschedule, and it felt a bit weird to be getting texts directly from the doctor. He also made some female-related comments during the short surgery that came off a bit strange. However, all of the rest of the staff was incredible!
