Whitney’s Experience

I always knew I wanted to have LASIK, but I was apprehensive. Choosing to electively alter your vision is a huge decision! One of my colleagues had seen Dr. Labor and had a fabulous experience. She was so thrilled with her results that I decided to do a little research of my own. Eye Consultants of Texas has the latest technology and a proven track record of excellent results. I liked what I saw so much that I decided to call and schedule an appointment for a consultation.

Sabrena (LASIK coordinator) was extremely thorough during my initial phone call and answered all of my endless questions. When I came to the office for my consultation, I was equally impressed. The lengthy process was efficient and thorough; and I felt like a patient, not a number. The techs, the optometrist and Dr. Labor were all considerate and professional. Sabrena was enthusiastic to help guide me through the process and ensure ALL of my questions were answered.

On the morning of the procedure, I was both nervous and excited. After my evaluation, I waited comfortably in my private exam room. The staff was genuinely concerned about my comfort, and frequently checked on me to make sure I had everything I needed. When it was time to go into the operating suite, Sabrena personally walked me into the room.

As they prepared me, Sabrena sat by my feet, rested her hand on my ankle, and narrated everything that was happening. This made a HUGE difference because I didn’t have to guess what was going on around me. I’m a firm believer in open, ongoing communication; and Sabrena and Dr. Labor both provided reassurance and information during the entire procedure.

The actual LASIK procedure was quick and relatively painless – I only felt pressure. Once it was complete, Sabrena walked me back to my private consultation room and made sure I was comfortable. I went home, took my prescribed medicine and slept for 6 hours. When I woke up, I could see the clock across the room for the first time ever!!!! It was amazing! The post-op discomfort was manageable and the results were priceless. My vision the next morning was 20/15.

I have since recommended Eye Consultants of Texas to all of my colleagues, family members and friends. The single biggest advantage to me is that I did not feel like a number. I truly believe the entire staff cares about each patient. I only wish I had done this sooner!
