    The star rating is based solely on the affordability (or lack thereof) of the procedure.What to expect: The office and staff were professional and friendly, the space is neat and clean, and there is parking on site which is convenient. The visit took two hours, which included wait time in the waiting area, filling out paperwork, and the eye and vision tests prior to seeing the doctor. They dilate your pupils FYI.They have you watch a video about the procedure and answer questions, and let you know if you are a candidate or not. Then you meet with the doctor briefly (maybe 2 to five minutes). He was also friendly.Then you meet with the scheduler who will tell you the cost. I was quoted at $6000 for both eyes (no special considerations), minus $1000 for the Fall special they have going now, also minus 5% if I pay cash, so the total would be in the neighborhood of $4800.This is nearly twice what my brother paid at the best LASIK surgeon in LA and was much more than i was prepared for.

    I came in for a 2 hour free consultation. They said I was most likely eligible but would need to contact my eye dr. to look over my changes over the years. <br><br>They never followed up with me after my lengthy appointment and I never heard from them again. If you want someone to spend anywhere from $5k-8k on something, I think your staff should be able to touch base with someone after they used sick time to do the appointment. <br><br>During the appointment, they mentioned I would have to sign up today for that month's deal since the month was ending. It wasn't possible for me to do so since they needed to check with my eye doctor first. They also made themselves sound like the best in the business and that celebrities go there. Um, ok. I think they just want to charge obscene prices and make you think it's worthwhile.

    They will do surgery on anyone for the money. I was told I had cataracts so I had the surgery in May, I haven't been able to see out of my eye since. I had a second opinion and was told that I didn't need the surgery I had at least ten years before I had to worry about it. I went back several times and was told by Dr. Nielsen that it was because I needed the other eye done. As it turns out I have had an infection in my eye since he did the surgery, he just keeps giving me prescriptions. My advice is do not let him do surgery until you get a second opinion. It is all about the money for them. They are the worst by far.
