TLC Laser Eye Centers

Its been almost two weeks since my surgery and I am SO pleased. I went with PRK because of thin corneas (I knew part of me was still *thin*). After the surgery I kept saying to the staff, ‘you guys say this is easy, but you are really understating how easy!’ There was NO pain, and no scary, ‘omg they are shooting lasers at my eyes!’ moments at all. It was so fast and so easy.
Now lets talk about the staff. Seriously, the best. I felt so comfortable and at home with them. I talked to them on the phone leading up to the surgery for help with the financing and the RXs. Originally the pharmacy was quoting me $ 470 for the four RXs with my insurance, but Kaylee helped me get that down to just a few bucks over $ 100 with some coupon codes and shopping around. She worked magic and saved me about $ 370!
I also had just about every possible *this never happens to anyone* issue pop up with the financing when I arrived for surgery. But that staff had me in good hands and worked through each, *we have never seen this happen before* issue with the financing company and my HSA company. Kaylee was on the phone, jumping through hoops, coming up with out-​of-​the-​box solutions, and made it all work out so I could get my surgery and go home happy. She is a freaking super star.
Dr. Sweeney, who did my initial consultation was great. and Dr. Holtzman, who did my surgery was also fantastic. Laid back, easy going, but knowledgeable and confident. Just what you want in a person you are letting shoot lasers at your eyes.
Everyone there has amazing bed side manner. I just can’t say enough good stuff.

My experience at TLC was fantastic. The whole staff was friendly and informative and very helpful. First and foremost, the staff goes to great lengths to educate you on your current vision and the process that the surgeon will go through to correct it. Everyone from the sweet lady who did the scheduling to the nurse were excellent.
Dr. Sweeney was my Optometrist and Dr. Holzman was my surgeon.
Dr. Sweeney is a great doctor. He’s very professional and very personable. He went through great lengths for me to provide medical documentation needed by my employer, even when my employer wasn’t sure what they needed. He went out of his way, even on weekends making sure I was taken care of.
Dr. Holzman was very comforting and proficient at conducting my surgery. I felt very little discomfort as he spoke to me during the procedure. Dr. Holzman even followed up with me later that night to make sure I was doing alright. It didn’t feel like a routine call, he genuinely cares. He even timed his call so that I had received the recommended rest following the procedure.
I had very little discomfort following the procedure. I was given a very comprehensive and easy to read schedule telling me when to apply the various eye drops that I was prescribed. The surgeries are conducted on Thursday mornings, which allows working adults to rest and be back to work on Monday.
My experience with TLC through it’s great staff has been a great one and I definately recommend them. If you think you may want Lasik or PRK, make an appointment for a consultation. These people aren’t salesmen, they’ll medically advise you on what will work for you. My experience was «no pressure,» making it easier for me to make an informed decision.
I didn’t choose the financing option, though there is a no-​interest option through Wells Fargo.
