IF it's lasik, it's Boston Laser.

Seconding this, went there a few years back and it was great.

OP go somewhere really reputable. You get what you pay for and these your eyes dude

Went to Dr. Melki for an emergency not related to Lasik and he was great.

I went to TLC in Waltham. No complaints.

Same, but I think the doctor I had moved to another place.

It was the easiest process ever and is still one of the best decisions I’ve ever made to get it done

It was 8 years ago for me now so I don't have very recent intel, but same.

Technically I had PRK done, not LASIK.

Fiance had it done at TLC recently and while he would recommend the procedure in general, TLC didn't do a great job on the aftercare. They scratched his cornea during the procedure and installed a bandage to let it heal (with verbal instructions that it could probably come out in about a week), but didn't schedule any kind of followup to have it removed. It took 2 weeks, multiple calls, and a threat to go to the Board of Opthalmology before they would schedule a follow-up appointment and remove the bandage. His eyesight is great now though, just wouldn't recommend TLC.

Dr. Rapoza at Opthalmic Consultants of Boston. Four years ago I had lasik and my wife had PRK. They're busy and the scheduling for checkups sucked, but he was fantastic. You can Google him and read his bio.

It's pricey, but you can use HSA/FSA for it. My wife needed a touchup a year later due to an old scar and this didn't cost extra.

Edit: I should note that OCB has a location in Boston for checkups, but Dr. Rapoza only does surgery in Waltham as far as I know.

Go to a big chain like TLC. They contract with doctors who have done the procedure tens of thousands of times. Also, don’t go for low cost either. It’s your eyes. Make sure the equipment is fairly new and is calibrated daily. I had the procedure done 12 years ago and it was the best $4k I’ve ever spent. If it’s not too late to have flex spending taken out of your paycheck, do it so you can pay for the procedure with pre tax dollars. Lastly, the procedure is quick and painless. The recovery sucks for about a day. If they offer you medicated drops for pain, use them sparingly so they last 24 hours.

Kornmehl Laser Eye Associates - Dr. Kornmehl.

Had both eyes done about 10 years back, and was very satisfied with the whole process.

Edit: in Wellesley

TLC was great in Waltham. Now going on 13 years later and I’m starting to squint again, not sure if I can have a re-do or not?
