Corporate LASIK Centers promising $299 an eye for LASIK are using a bait-and-switch technique to lure patients into their facility. Sales people then explain why you should pay for an upgraded laser, an upgraded post-operative program or a femtosecond flap. Often they simply claim you don’t qualify for the advertised low price. The average cost of LASIK in these centers is $4200. When deals seem “to good to be true” you can bet they are not true.

I am usually a very critical person who throws compliments around like manhole covers, but I have absolutely nothing but praise for Dr. Lewis and his extremely competent, conscientious staff.

Dr. Lewis is obviously a highly skilled surgeon. I have ... Read More

Hi Doc, It was good “seeing” you today. Below is my quote. If it sounds like everyone else’s quote, let me know – I can change it.

I was the greatest gift I could have every given myself.”If the last sentence sounds corny, please delete it. For a lifetime of ... Read More

Everything was explained so I could understand it. I am looking forward to ... Read More

Jim; I think it best if we leave my job title out of testimonial. My sister Janice is very interested in a consult with you and if she goes thru with LASIK Surgery she can mention my name and title in her testimonial.

Dear Friends: I have been remiss in my duties. I never thanked you for your generous gift. Truly, perfect vision is the best gift I could have ever received. I do not remember a time when I was able to see without glasses. They were always slipping down, fogging up, getting sat upon and generally making my life miserable. The same is true for contact lenses (When I could wear them). But my eyesight got so bad that I ... Read More

Dear Dr. Lewis Once in a while someone touches a life and causes a great change to occur in that life. I can't help but feel that way about my recent experience with you and your organization.

Thanks! You went all out...... and the results were outstanding! Thanks, Millie & Tom
Thank You Dr. Lewis & Staff Just had to write a brief note of “Thanks” for making the unsettling prospect of LASIK surgery such a “walk in the park”!

You are all to be commended. Thank you, once more, and count on me to refer anyone considering the procedure your way. Best Regards, Scott

Dear Dr. Lewis, About a month ago I had laser surgery on both eyes to correct my vision up close and far away. I can't tell you how satisfied I am with the results!It is so easy to pick up a book or newspaper and just start reading without fumbling around for a pair of glasses. Right now typing this letter on the computer is an achievement without the use of my glasses. I can remember turning 40 ... Read More

The results are much better then I ever expected and I need no ... Read More
Dear Sue: How easy it would be for me to say that I haven't had the time to properly thank you for all of your help. I could even feign amnesia or pretend that I haven't been taking my Ginko Biloba. But none of that is true. I don't know why I haven't thanked you before now, but I hope to correct that situation right here. You have been my port in the storm. From the very beginning ... Read More
Dear Dr. Lewis & Staff, I can’t thank you enough for the kindness and patience, you and your staff showed me during my LASIK procedure.
