Pros: Surgery went well; I see 20/20. Cons: The 1-week and 1-month post-op appointments are virtual/phone calls that consist of one question: “How are your eyes?” My regular eye doctor was shocked by the lack of post-op care but also pleased with the final results. TLC/Dr. Stonecipher came highly recommended, and I don’t regret my decision, but I would have appreciated better communication and post-op care. For transparency, I had the $1,000 off special, and paid ~$4,000.

Avoid TLC. The company will not honor the "Lifetime Commitment" I paid extra for in 2008. Each office will say"we only offer honor it if you used our doctor." I have all my original paperwork. I just got off the phone with corporate TLC, they found my records but said, "that location in SC closed so you will have to visit another location as a new patient." Clearly, from original documents, there is no such caveat. If you use any service under the TLC corporate franchise model, their 'Commitment" is only for that location. One closes, moves...you will not get what you paid for! Of course, they will gladly take you as a new patient at another location who will charge a full rate MUCH higher than your original procedure!! Buyer beware. That is some shady bait-and-switch stuff right there folks. I will share details with anyone interested. Update 10/10/23: TLC review response is as I suggested. No corporate warranty, as purchased. The documents are all here. Their 'solution' is to pay them to become a 'new' patient -or- try and find/track down the person/doctor who performed a procedure 15 years ago to ask if he will honor the corporate warranty...wherever he may be! Like I said, Caveat emptor!!

I came here for a LASIK consultation with very little research. I was very happy to hear that Dr Stonecipher teaches classes all over the world, and I have met multiple people including my optometrist who had LASIK done by him. I couldn’t be happier with my results after my surgery. I have 20/15 vision now! I was very nervous about the whole thing but the staff was very kind and patient with me. The day of surgery was very quick which was good because it didn’t give me time to stress. I had a wonderful experience with the office!
