Great, I did my surgery on December 2014 we are now in June 2015 and I can see clearly. Although it was a process because it did hurt a little once the anesthesia wore off but they give you medication unfortunate for me my pharmacy didn't have it when my mom when to look for it. They had to get it from somewhere else. Which I had to bear the burning sensation for a couple of hours. But once I had my medication it was smooth. No pain during the surgery either. You berly even feel it. And it only takes 15 minutes. The filling papers and dealing with payment and checks probably around 2-3 hours. I recovered my full vision little by little. Around March I was seeing very clear, the first couple of weeks were blurry. Even to look at computer was blurry. I'd say if you're vision is to the point where you can't see anything away from you without you're glasses go for it. It is very worth it, to be able to see the world clear again!

1998 I was preparing to retire from 21 yrs with the Air Force. My sight was 20/600 (bad) and I could not even be considered for a job as a police officer due to my "uncorrected" vision. I took leave from work and had laser surgery by Dr. Ellis in El Cerrito. After a lifetime of terrible eyesight I peeked out my front window and WOW...20/20 vision. I retired from the Air Force and became a police officer. <br> Fastfwd 17 yrs and as a 55 yr old police officer I only wear contacts when I'm working. My days off I do not wear ANY contacts or glasses!!! Dr.Ellis' surgery was painless and truly the best investment ever. <br> I am writing this review because my wife is having a consultation next week to have her eyes done and I would NEVER consider doing it anywhere else based on my results.<br><br>T.

I recently had laser surgery with Dr Ellis in El Cerrito. I done a lot of research before having the actual surgery performed. After reading some of the reviews I was a little worried. I went for a pre op and I was amazed about the friendly service that was given to me. Everyone with whom I came in contact with was pleasant and very professional. I was greeted by a very happy person named I think Debby and then was seen by a Dr. Chen and then taken back for my surgery. I was very nervous and scared. There I met the most amazing person (nurse) Bobby and her staff. After talking to her I would go back to have surgery on any part of my body as I felt she would take care of me through anything. Her knowledge of the procedure and her humor made me so relaxed and excited to have the surgery (I think the drugs also helped) Then I met Dr. Ellis. He personally shook my hand and thanked me for choosing him to do the surgery. He asked me where I lived and what my job was. When he heard where I was originally from he asked me if I knew of a town and a restaurant close by. And amazing enough I did and we had a nice conversation about the countryside. He was not in a hurry as so many Dr.s are. They talk to you as they are going out the door. All in all I could not be happier with my eyesight and the remarkable service and care I received. I have referred several of my friends and would encourage anyone wanting laser surgery for better sight to go to Dr. Ellis.
