First, I used Qualsight like so many others and got a great deal! I initially went to Mass Eye and Ear, but Dr. Melki's extremely impressive experience and slightly lower cost won me over. This is not a 'bargain' LASIK place, and I'd be weary of any place advertised as such. Staff and facilities: Everyone at Boston Laser was so professional and friendly! There was a particular gentleman who initially did my prescription reading and then was the one 'narrating' my surgery if you will, explaining what was going on and what I could expect. The location is perfect and the facilities are clean and welcoming. Also, they get bakery items in the morning, have coffee and cnn going. Just thoughtful and simple things to keep patients happy! Love that sort of stuff. Dr. Melki is great, as well as the other doctors and residents(?) who helped me. Super shout out to the scheduling department - I had to reschedule so many times it was obnoxious. Dr. Melki suggested I get PRK and I am so happy I listened to him. It's been 6 months and I have no halos and I see as well as I did with my contacts! To those wondering, yes it hurt afterwards but it's not that bad, and I would say it's worth knowing that your eyes don't have a flap. Take the pain killers and just use the weekend after to catch up on your sleep. I was in track with every normal timeline that was explained to me. I had the surgery in April and was in Mexico in May, seeing clearly and not having to worry about contact hygiene while backpacking! Also, turns out, I had been wearing the wrong prescription for years! I couldn't believe it and I had them triple check it, including me coming back on a different day for one last reading before the surgery. The competency of Boston Laser's team is very impressive. I'm so happy my eyes were corrected to the right level (no more eye strain!) and I chose Dr. Melki and his team. Do not skimp on your eyes! You are in safe and experienced hands here.
I have always thought this practice goes above and beyond on their patient care! Great team.
