I researched the heck out of Dr. Loden and a couple other local offices before choosing to use Loden Vision for my LASIK procedure. Everything about my experience here was perfect. My eyes were awful. I had a horrible astigmatism, and my vision was 4.50 and 5.75. Hours after the procedure, I had perfect vision. Everyone on staff made me feel at home and comfortable about the procedure. I felt extremely informed about the process and what to expect before during and after the procedure. From Laurel who did my consultation, Dr. Graves who did my initial check up, the team that dilated and checked my eyes two days prior to the surgery, Dr Mills who checked me pre and post op, Andrea and her team in the post op "lounge" to, of course, Dr. Loden with his team who did the surgery. Every single person in the building was friendly and professional, they all seemed incredibly informed about the procedure, process and what my expectations should be. I truly felt like a member of their family, and my big brother was going to do my surgery. Only my big brother was one of the best eye surgeons in the country. Surgery is scary for anyone, especially on your eyes, and for a procedure that isn't something you "need" in order to survive. I have been wearing glasses or contacts since I was in kindergarten. In 33 years, I have never seen so clearly and I'm not even finished healing yet. Dr. Loden and his staff truly give the gift of sight. I will forever be grateful for my experience there. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering LASIK. ...read more
