I once had a prescription of -5.50, now I have 20/20 vision in both eyes and I've been taking advantage of this since my surgery in February!! Dr. Melki and the Boston Laser staff are amazing. They were very nice, thorough and caring. best investment ever and I'm very glad I came here.

Hello my fellow yelpers! I had to go on here and give Boston Laser their well deserved review. I first became interested in having Lasik Surgery back in December during my trip to Cancun. The worst thing ever is not being able to swim freely because your so worried your contacts are going to come out! That was the last straw for me and ever since I returned to the states, I started periodically researching this surgery. I came across Boston Laser on Yelp actually and learned about Qualsight. Please go through Qualsight if your going to move forward with the surgery, they saved me over 2K on the surgery! Anyways, after reading varies reviews I got in touch with Qualsight and they scheduled my consultation with Boston Laser. A week later I was in their office having my consultation with Kenneth which went great. I then met with Dr. Melki for a brief moment and he told me I was an excellent candidate for the surgery. After, I meet with the awesome Sumaira and she pretty much walked me through the financing options and scheduling. I called her a week later and told her I will be moving on with the procedure. I had my Lasik Surgery performed June 13th, 2013 by Dr. Melki. The procedure was 100% painless but you did feel a bit of discomfort when they create the flap. After the surgery, I was good to go after 30mins. The not so good part.....I had to get my right eye re-done on Friday since my flap folded. I am unsure why this happened, but I don't believe it was something Dr. Melki or myself could have avoided. I guess it was just my luck! The second surgery was also painless and much shorter, 5 mins or so. I went back in on Saturday and met with Dr. Kruh, he told me everything looked fine. WHEW! My right eye is not 20/20 yet but I think my left eye is or very close to be. I still see very blurry from my right eye but that is expected since I had to under go two procedures in less than 24hours. My vision is supposed to become clearer as the days pass. Even though I did have minor complications with my Lasik journey, I am so thankful for the staff. They were great! I will do an update when I am 20/20. Stay tuned guys! UPDATE on June 26,2013- So I went to my 2 week follow up appointment this morning and met with Dr. Kruh and guess what? I see 20/15 from my left eye and 20/20 from my right eye! WOOOHOOO! Waking up with clear vision is amazing and I can not thank Boston Laser enough for my new eyes! If you are reading this and are still skeptical about the procedure, don't be! I was just just like you a month ago and now I am living my life contact/glasses free!

I'm writing this now even though I received LASIK 10 years ago from Dr. Melki. I just had a checkup with another opthalmalogist today who complimented my surgery and recommended I go back to Dr Melki should I ever need cataract surgery in the future. I had nothing but a good experience. I elected monovision (one eye corrected for near, one for far). I did have to go back for a no-charge adjustment on one eye which is not uncommon. I had no complications, no dry eye. The Dr answered all my questions. I was calmed by a teddy bear during the procedure. 10 years later I'm still happy.

So I had my lasik procedure about 2 months ago now and I am alive and I can see! Awesome awesome, I am still getting used to not putting on my glasses in the morning and taking my contacts out at night! I had astigmatism and -3.75 in both eyes and now I have 20/20 and couldn't be enjoying my life anymore than I am! The facilities are clean. They have coffee and tea. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The initial appointment was long (not their fault, just busy). I had my consult with Dr. Melki and we scheduled the surgery 3 weeks after that appointment. I would give this place 5 stars except for the fact that I did get DLK, which has nothing to do with the doctors and happens randomly in a certain percentage of patients that receive lasik (so I would like to let people know that though lasik is safe it can have complications). HOWEVER, I did receive quality service and they ensured I recovered safely and were there every step of the way. (Dr. Melki even personally answered emails when I was worried). After drop therapy and multiple check ups to ensure my quick recovery I am 100% recovered. I highly recommend Boston laser! You will not be disappointed!

Got LASIK in Feb 2013. Dr Melki and his associates were wonderful. Got LASIK at 730. In 12 minutes I was done, but they do keep you there another 30 minutes and the fellow checks on you before leaving. Went home and it felt like my eyes burned a bit after but other than that no pain. Slept for 4 hours then woke up and had 20/20 vision. The consultation did take about 3 hours but honestly it went by so fast. Dr Melki only does surgeries on Fridays so I had to wait two weeks until I had another day off. By Saturday I was back at work and they were accompdating by taking me in Saturday for my 1 day follow up at 11am. Overall everyone was kind helpful and I actually referred my sister as well!!
