Several friends have used TLC, Dr. Louis Probst in westchester. All excellent reviews w/ no issues.

As you've seen the commercials, Woods used TLC as well, no idea which doctor though.

thanks for the info, its kinda far but ill give them a call

Most all the guys I know who went there are downtown people, so he must be doing something right. Think my last friend's total ran around $4,200, though this isn't something i'd bargain hunt for...

mkPOTO · 08-30-2011, 02:20 PM

agreed, i am in the city and i am looking for something close for after the surgery

kyleb350 · 08-30-2011, 03:01 PM

Perhaps a Groupon will pop-up for one

mkPOTO · 08-30-2011, 03:05 PM

Mr. Nice · 08-30-2011, 03:36 PM

I'm pretty sure she was able to get her money back but I'll ask her and double check.

mkPOTO · 08-30-2011, 03:40 PM

Didnt the groupon give you a discount on one eye, but not the second eye?

Figured I'd post my questions in here instead. Which lasik procedure are you getting done Mark, the one that's strictly the laser, or the one where they cut the flap then use the laser?

mkPOTO · 08-31-2011, 10:45 AM

im not sure yet i have appointment next week, depending on your vision there is several different methods they can use

Used him too. Seeing 20/15 since then

from a physicians perspective, go with someone that has a large volume, the more procedures an opthamologist does, the better he is at it, and the better he will be if for any reason any complications arise, these are your eyes man, dont mess around with price or distance, make sure you go to the best

Dvdman · 09-09-2011, 03:01 PM

My Brother and Wife got it done In Chicago on Touhy and Western. I think Its call Your Eyes or something like that. Place seems kinda small and on a busy street. They Dished out cash for the lazer and are very happy. They said its the best investment ever made.
