“Dr. Ashraf and his staff were amazing! The consultation with Dr. Ashraf was very informative as he explained the differences and similarities between PRK, Lasik, and Smile. The day of the surgery he explained to me step by step about the procedure as I was bit nervous. He made sure I was comfortable through out the surgery. The best part was that the whole surgery was like 5 minutes and I didn’t feel a thing. I had 20/20 vision literally the next day! Would definitely recommend him for lasik!”
