I wish I could give 10 stars! Very professional from start to finish. Very relaxed, friendly staff. If you’re considering LASIK there is only one place to go! Thanks IVG team!
The whole LASIK process from start to finish was wonderful. Any questions I had were promptly answered and put me at ease. 20/15 vision less than 24 hours after surgery has been life-changing. Best decision!
Went from 20/4000 to 20/20 in a single day of healing. The staff were very friendly, amazing, and very accommodating. They really are the best of the best.
Super friendly and helpful. Best customer service and staff I have ever met. They have this process streamlined in the most efficient way possible. You will never regret making the decision to go to Independent Vision Group.
I cannot recommend Dr Harvey and all of the IVG staff more! LASIK really wasn’t just a cosmetic decision for me. I had worn contacts for so many years that my eyes were scarred. I was extremely nervous but the staff made me feel very comfortable before and after the procedure. It was very quick and my recovery has been painless! Just 24 hours afterwards I have 20/20 vision! Highly, highly recommend this team!
I went from 20/400 to 20/20 vision. Powerful life-changing procedure. I highly recommend IVG!
