Its been 4 weeks since my laser eye surgery and it was one of the best decisions of my life! Choosing Boston laser was an easy choice...from the consultation to recovery everyone was fantastic! The entire staff here amazing... so patient and knowledgeable. Every appointment I had ran on time which is always a bonus! Plenty of metered street parking any time of day was available. Highly recommend! Definitely choose Boston laser!

I had a consultation with a less reputable LASIK center about a year ago, truth be told the price came in lower than Boston Laser but everything about it seemed sketchy (my entire eye exam was about 8 minutes and felt like something done in a middle school gym class performed by a salesman.) I held out, saved a little more and came to Boston Laser. The experience and expertise was evident and reassuring (although I did get hit with a gimmicky sales pitch anyway, although I already had made up my mind before that happened.) 10 days out now and my vision has been great since the procedure. Ive had barely any side effects (halos lasted only two days, nothing other than that.) So far I can say Im very happy with the results!

I got PRK on Friday. Today is Tuesday, so its been four days. My vision is still blurry as expected, but its getting better everyday. The assistants and doctor (Brenner) I interacted with were all great. The fellow has had a tired energy the two times Ive interacted with her, but I think shes doing a fine job. Its easy to reach out to them if you have a question (they give you your doctors cell as well as Dr. Melkis, though I didnt use them). Theres an online patient portal that you can use to e-mail your questions; I used this once after my evaluation to ask Dr. Brenner a question, and he responded the next day.Its not like they provide a very personal service; it feels like a place where they try to do as many procedures as they can since it brings in money, but not to the point that they will be careless with your care. I think they did a good job with my eyes; Im not fully healed, but Im healing more and progressing everyday.My PRK procedure ended up costing $4900 ($1000-off promotion for the start of the year) with an optional $495 lifetime insurance, which I was told that 70% of people opt to get. Only 3% of people need touch-ups, which is included in the initial cost.Their website has a good QA section where Dr. Melki has answered lots of questions. They also give you some reading material at your free evaluation. I appreciate that they try to educate their patients.On the day of my procedure, they gave me written instructions for my eye drops (which I couldnt read too well for two days afterward - just a heads-up to plan ahead), some ill-fitting sunglasses, and a Boston Laser t-shirt. During the procedure, I was given a choice of holding an elephant or a sloth stuffed animal (I chose both!). The procedure lasted about 12 minutes.Its not cheap, but paying a lot of money makes me feel like Im using a quality service?? Theyre also affiliated with MEEI and have fellows working there, so its in their interest to provide good service and protect their reputation. Ive had a good (albeit short) experience with them so far!Disclosure: I have an extra incentive to leave a review because when you write a review, you get entered into a drawing to win $150 toward a pair of sunglasses (which I dont have because Ive always worn eyeglasses, so I didnt really wear sunglasses over them). But that didnt affect the kind of rating/review I gave.
