Background info: combat athlete with horrendous nearsightedness (contact prescription was -5.50 in one eye and -5.25 in the other) and an astigmatism in one eye. Didn't qualify for Lasik because Lasik weakens the cornea and physical contact can rip it off, but wanted PRK to begin with, since PRK also doesn't have any risk of corneal infections.I got PRK over a year agowhile the appointment itself where I was talking with Dr. Melki seemed a bit uninformed and short, as well as not terribly welcoming (I had done a ton of research beforehand and I ended up not being told very much about the procedure or otherwise; luckily I already knew the answers to most questions I had), the surgery itself was very quick, incredibly easy, and surprisingly painless. The surgical assistants and nurses were wonderful; all staff other than the Dr was wonderful.I *would* recommend that Dr. Melki be a bit more engaged and informative with his patients, since, had I gone in there not knowing anything, I would have come out of there not being given a lot of valuable information. While i was confident in my decision from my own research, HE did not make me feel more confident about it, which wasn't great. Overall, I'd rather a very good surgeon over someone with a great bedside manner, and he absolutely knows what he's doing, but I do think he may not have as many patients feeling very confident in his abilities if he doesn't offer more verbally thorough exams. I think other doctors might be better for people who are unsure or uncomfortable about going in for surgery.Follow-up exams with the assistants were easy, instructions on post-surgery care were accurate, and overall, great experience.FANTASTIC investment. I would absolutely go back if I needed to have any revision work done in the future (though let's cross our fingers my eyeballs say 20/20, though!).

First things first, the surgical team, and staff are tremendous. I felt comfortable and safe with all of the procedures that were happening with me, and when someone is cutting a flap in your eye and then shooting lasers into it, that is all you can ask for. The waiting room is comfortable, and has some fantastic music (old school Sinatra and Dean martin and all that, personal favorites here).The reason that I can't give it a 5 star review is the wait time. I have a feeling there were some extenuating circumstances that caused some delays in their processing of surgical patients on the day that I was treated with LASIK surgery. What is a typical 2-3 hour wait turned into a 5.5 hour wait. Even still, I would hands down trust Dr. Melki and Dr. Raja in treating my eyes again, and even with that wait the decision to get LASIK from the team at Boston Laser was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Their slogan, "If it's LASIK, it's Boston Laser" could not be more true, and if you want to be seeing perfectly after ten minutes of surgery, I would highly recommend seeing the professionals of Boston Laser!

Very efficient , knowledgeable staff who communicated every step of the process along the way, and what to expect post procedure.
