LasikPlus?

Has anyone been here to have Lasik?

 I'm currently scheduled with Berkeley in The Woodlands, but after getting it all scheduled/approved with my insurance, they (ins. company) tell me I can get it through LasikPlus for nearly half price because of some agreement they have.

 I'm comfortable with Berkeley because I've heard a lot of good stuff about them, but wouldn't mind saving some money.

I'm just not sure this is the kind of thing you want to skimp on...

Any thoughts?

Re: LasikPlus?

  • Speaking from experience, I'd avoid a "corporate lasik" clinic or "lasik-chain" since they always have the bottom line as the priority, not the patient, no matter how they present themselves on the surface. A private clinic or surgeon owned clinic is going to recommend and do what's best for you regardless of the bottom line and you'll be better taken care of in the long run as well. They'll stand behind you years after, rather than going to a "lasik chop shop" that has nothing to offer once they've zapped your eyes and gotten your money. Sounds like you already found a surgeon that you trust so it's probably not worth saving a few dollars. Plus I've heard that you don't actually save THAT much $$$ since the corporation lasik places hike up the price for insurance based Lasik. Besides that, it's a wonderful procedure. Good luck making your decision! 
  • I think next to Berkeley, Mattiolli and LasikPlus is the most recommended name in Houston. I've had several friends use him and were very happy and it cost much less than Berkeley.  I think I'll probably visit him first and see how I feel about it when I have mine (hopefully in 2013)
