I had LASIK done in October of 2012. The whole process went really smoothly. They worked with my schedule (I lived and worked in Providence) to be able to accommodate me and the necessary travel time. My initial examinations were straight forward; Dr Melki listened to my concerns and then explained the procedure very clearly, possible side effects, and how the healing process would work. At my appointment, the whole thing took less than an hour. I had a friend take me home. The next day, I was able to drive myself to my follow up appointment! My eyes continued to get better over the next several days until I ended up with 20/15 vision! And I was able to pay for it with an interest free loan over the following year. If you want to avoid having to buy expensive contacts or glasses in the future, I definitely suggest checking out Boston Laser. Definitely worth the drive!

Boston Laser is a great practice and exceeded my expectations in many ways. I've heard nothing but positive things from family and friends who have also gone there for Lasik. Dr. Melki is very courteous and approachable, and his expertise is well known and highly published- so you know you are in good hands. I also met with Dr. Lee for a consultation on a skin/cosmetic issue, and he was fantastic as well. He spent a good amount of time with me during my appointment and answered all of my questions/concerns. The staff themselves are professional and do their utmost to make you feel welcome and attended. The girls at the front desk were friendly and conversational with me while I waited to be called in, which always makes me feel more comfortable at medical appointments. Appointments themselves were convenient, and the office itself seemed very clean and presentable- and bonus- they have a little coffee station in the waiting room. I would definitely recommend Boston Laser to anyone I knew looking for Lasik or general eye care.

Dr. Melki and all of the support staff at Boston Laser are so wonderful! You always feel welcome in their office. Everyone is extremely friendly and has a smile on their face and an answer to all of your questions. I could hardly see the big "E" on the eye chart two months ago, and now my vision is 20/15! I couldn't be happier!

I was recommended to go to Boston Laser from a friend who happens to be an Eye Doctor. He told me all about Dr Melki and how he was so happy with his whole Lasik experience. Well he was absolutely right.!!!I went for my consultation in November and had my treatment done on Feb 14, 2014. The staff at Boston Laser are great: they make you feel so comfortable. Any question I had before, during, and after my treatment was always answered promptly. Dr Melki, Rick Young, Rachel, Dr V, and the rest of the staff are very professional. I'm so glad I did my treatment there. I love having my distance vision back !!! Thanks Dr Melki and Boston Laser.

Dr. Melki's expertise is absolutely second-to-none. I had cataract surgery in one eye (sports injury), and LASIK in the other, so I've experienced a breadth of the catalogue offered. My vision went from -7.5 or so (that's 20/800) to 20/20 in one eye and better than perfect, 20/15, in the other. Dr. Melki was honest, to the point, and answered my random emailed questions in minutes, even when i sent them very late at night. The facilities are clean, the staff is polite. Know, however, that you aren't going into your childhood's eye doctor's office. This is a pretty massive operation, and you could see upwards of 5 or 6 medical professionals in a visit. I felt a little passed around - not a very personal experience. They have at least four waiting rooms, depending on what tests you need, if your eyes are dilating, etc. It's as efficient as possible, but don't expect you'll have the attention of the highest chieftains for more than absolutely necessary. And, as ever, take your medical experience into your own hands. Dr. Melki didn't describe every detail of upcoming my experience because he's not a mind-reader and because he'll laser a LOT of eyes each Friday (I think my eye was #44), so I had to make a point of sending emails to the office when I thought of something. And sitting on the gurney for my cataract surgery (Melki does those at hospitals, not at the clinic), the instructions the hospital had were for the WRONG EYE. But Boston Laser's paperwork were for the correct eye, which was a comfort. It took some time to change the instructions. But then they put a tiny stitch on the front of my eye that i couldn't see or feel and they removed the next day, but I still feel totally metal. There seemed to be a lot of post-procedure checkups, which was good, even if Brookline is a pain for me to get to. I feel very well taken care of. I didn't even mention yet - I LOVE MY NEW EYES. I thought that since I've worn contacts every day since I was 10 (that's 23 years, people) that I must not notice my contacts. I was wrong. An itch here, a lens adjustment there, extra fast blinking to clear something up, stinging after taking them out. I had no idea how much I thought about them!
