"Things came out the way I expected. At first I was worried about the cost of Lasik but after looking at the different payment options , I found the right one for me.  Before Lasik I would wear my glasses just to read and I would have trouble at the street signs whenever I forgot to wear my glasses. It's awesome and everybody here is awesome. They are all very caring making sure I was taken care of. Dr. Stainer is phenomenal, he would answer all the questions I had and really explains things well along the way. If you're considering getting Lasik, I definitely recommend coming here!"

"As someone who is in the beauty industry and loves to go on hikes and be outside, Lasik was something that I've always wanted to. Having to worry about where my glasses are, making sure to always have them with me became a huge burden in my life. After asking a few friends where they went to get Lasik I got recommended to go to Dr. Stainer and I'm so glad that I did. He is incredible.  He explains in great detial what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. Thank you Dr. Stainer for setting me free from glasses!"
