Absolutely remarkable people - from the front desk (David) to the surgeon (Dr. Luke Barker) and everyone in between! (Courtney, Maryann, Mirta, and Garren) I have never had a comparable experience in any kind of medical office, and I can honestly say that I enjoyed being there. I don't know how a business this size keeps this consistent personal, positive vibe flowing through virtually every person you interact with, but they have mastered it. I visited both the Braker Ln. location and the Via Fortuna location and it was exactly the same both places.<br><br>I scheduled a free consultation for LASIK after hearing about a Groupon that would save me $1,200 on the procedure. The phone message I received from Courtney Lovins (surgical coordinator) to confirm my appointment was upbeat and personal. When I walked into the office, I was greeted by a woman who had the same super cheery and authentic tone in her voice, so I assumed it was Courtney. (Surely there wouldn't be another person that nice at a doctor's office, right?) Well, it WAS another cheerful person and then I met another and another. Seriously - everyone there is so down to earth and happy.<br><br>Ditching glasses and contacts is pretty exciting to start with, but these guys and gals made the whole experience a great memory. I especially loved the day of my surgery (crazy, I know!) Everyone gets pumped up about how awesome you are about to be able to see and it truly is celebrated.<br><br>I was a little nervous about the surgery itself, but mostly feeling excited. Dr. Barker asked if he could pray with me right before the surgery and for me as a Christian, that really made my day, especially because it seems that a lot of people would be worried about offending someone who doesn't think exactly like they do. I thanked him for it and he simply said "It helps both of us." It sure does! :)<br><br>I am so grateful to the entire team at Mann Eye at both Austin locations. I have 20/20 vision (actually slightly better than 20/20 in one eye) and it was achieved painlessly. I was able to finance the expenses with no interest for 18 months, too. I have a new view on life now, and it's beautiful and clear!
