Featured Patient Reviews
“Ultimate LASIK Professional”
LASIK
"I've worn glasses for years and contacts felt dry and gritty. Interested in LASIK, I met with Dr. Golden, who immediately puts you at ease and answers every question and concern you may have, even if you're like me and forget to ask something until after I leave the office.
Dr. Mark is very professional and a master at making you feel comfortable during the procedure. I was surprised the actual LASIK surgery only lasted a few minutes per eye. Dr. Mark explains everything he is doing while he is doing it, and you know you are in safe and knowledgeable hands.
It is such a thrill to go back for the follow up exams to "see" the results! No glasses! I've recommended Dr. Golden to everyone interested in LASIK."
“Eye Exam”
"After attending my annual eye exam I walked away with wearing contacts for the very first time! I am so happy that I can finally see without having to consistently carry around my glasses and take them off and put them back on. I am now considering what life will be like if I happen to get LASIK. Dr. Golden is not only very knowledgeable but also honest. His professionalism made me feel comfortable and I am looking forward to the next steps!"
