Extensive background and training

Every LASIK MD surgeon completes four years of undergraduate studies, four years of medical school and then five years of specialized training in eye surgery. Before treating LASIK MD patients, all surgeons undergo rigorous laser vision correction procedure training. Beyond their roles at LASIK MD, these doctors continue to expand their knowledge, publishing research in prestigious scientific and medical journals as well as teaching surgeons-in-training at prominent universities.

More experience = better results

Smaller-sized laser vision correction providers are limited in the number of vision correction procedures they can perform annually. But at LASIK MD, we perform over 65,000 procedures each year. Such a high-volume means our LASIK surgeons can hone their skills for even the most complex surgery cases. More procedures mean more experience—and more experience means better results for you.

The surgeon network: For our patient’s benefit

Every year, LASIK MD’s surgical team gathers at an annual conference to explore best practices, emerging technologies, and advancements in refractive care. This yearly meeting gives our surgeons the chance to exchange ideas with other experts in the field.

When it comes to your vision, trust your eyes to a LASIK MD surgeon. Read our surgeon biographies for a more in-depth look at their backgrounds.
