Patient Reviews
Sep 23, 2023
First off, at time of writing this review, it has been 4 weeks since my procedure. I went to the Northampton office for iLasik. Everything went well for me! I went from being near sighted and wearing glasses all the time to having 20/15 vision! No more glasses or contacts for me! The appointments took a while but they tell people that ahead of time to be prepared. They answered any questions I had and gave me instructions to follow post op, which I followed to the letter. Dr. Balin and the rest of the staff were very kind to me. For me, it was a great experience! At the very least, it is worth it to do the consultation to see if you qualify for laser eye surgery. Then you can decide based on what information they give you. I think it's well worth it! Thank you Dr. Balin and staff!
