Loden Vision Center

I researched the heck out of Dr. Loden and a couple other local offices before choosing to use Loden Vision for my LASIK procedure. Everything about my experience here was perfect. My eyes were awful. I had a horrible astigmatism, and my vision was 4.50 and 5.75. Hours after the procedure, I had perfect vision. \r \r Everyone on staff made me feel at home and comfortable about the procedure. I felt extremely informed about the process and what to expect before during and after the procedure. From Laurel who did my consultation, Dr. Graves who did my initial check up, the team that dilated and checked my eyes two days prior to the surgery, Dr Mills who checked me pre and post op, Andrea and her team in the post op ""lounge"" to, of course, Dr. Loden with his team who did the surgery. Every single person in the building was friendly and professional, they all seemed incredibly informed about the procedure, process and what my expectations should be. I truly felt like a member of their family, and my big brother was going to do my surgery. Only my big brother was one of the best eye surgeons in the country. \r \r Surgery is scary for anyone, especially on your eyes, and for a procedure that isn't something you ""need"" in order to survive. I have been wearing glasses or contacts since I was in kindergarten. In 33 years, I have never seen so clearly and I'm not even finished healing yet. Dr. Loden and his staff truly give the gift of sight. I will forever be grateful for my experience there. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering LASIK. more

I had lasik done by Dr. Loden nearly a year ago. The staff there was great to work with, they make you feel very comfortable. The procedure itself was very smooth - no pain of any kind, and it went as well as I could have hoped. My dependency on glasses has certainly been minimized, although I do still need reading glasses and I one of my eyes strains to focus while driving in low light situations. I didn't expect the latter, but over all the procedure did indeed minimize my need for glasses - I can now see the clock in the morning, and do outdoor work in dusty situations without getting my contacts messed up, or eye glasses dirty. I would recommend Loden. more

I had the pke done on one of my eyes that I had damaged years ago and after it was recovered I didn't have the vision I thought I should have. I went back to have it checked and to tell them my concerns but the doctor got defensive about it. I had the procedure redone now I cant see up close and my eye is very sensitive. If you are thinking about having this done make sure you are ready for the chance that you might end up with more problems than you went in with and they cant do anything about it. more

Awesome sevice, and thanks to Dr. Loden and his staff for scheduling me as an out of state patient . I had ILASIK last year and I ended up with better than 20/20. Everything he has said has been spot on. It's well worth the expense not to have to painfully insert those terrible contacts anymore! Best health and wellness decision I ever made to use Loden Vision Center for bladeless ILASIK.\r \r more

Fred p. I think you answered your own question. They're selling what fattens their bottom line. Loden continues to tell people Lasik is safe. I am still seeing double vision from Lasik surgery done by Dr. Loden. You better make sure your Lasik comes out right the first time otherwise it will be your problem. more

What is going on here ? ? ? ? ? My eye doctor ask me to see about cataract surgery so I make an appointment with Loden. The paperwork they sent described additional services NOT covered by insurance costing $ 8,000 - $ 11,000 out of pocket and told me to be ready to pay all of it up front. As an alternate, I had to release them from any liability for misdiagnosed eye disease to do just a regular cataract surgery and all but promised me I would have to wear glasses even if I didn't require them before. WHAT ? ? ? . . . . Right now I only wear glasses when reading fine print. Pretty good for a 66 year old ! So then I call to cancel my appointment. They did so with a smile in their voice, not even offering to reset it for later. Sounded kind of like this happens to them more than once per day. They may be good, but are they selling what I need or what fattens their bottom line ? ? ? ? ? more

I wish I had done it 10 years ago. I am early 40's and cannot believe what I have been missing. I looked at the clock in the room as I was lying down for the laser and could not read it. Less than 3 minutes later I sat up and could read the clock. WOW. Dr. Loden and his staff are wonderful. I have done all of my follow-up visits and every visit and experience is the same. Friendly and Professional. Definately a 5 star experience. more

I had ILASIK last Friday. It was easy, pain free, and great. The staff was professional yet welcoming. They were very helpful from the first time I called to set up a consultation to the very end. I was told I could probably end up with 20/15 and by the next morning that is exactly what I was, 20/15. The evening of my surgery Dr. Loden even called me at home to see if I needed anything and to see how I was doing. That was like 7:00 P.M. Now that's dedication. I would recommend and actually have recommended them to ANYONE!!!. THANKS SO MUCH for helping me be free of the glasses and contacts permanently.... more

Thanks to Dr. Loden and his staff. I had ILASIK yesterday with the guarantee that I would have 20/20 or better. Now it's the day after and sure enough I have 20/20 in both eyes and Dr. Loden says ""it will only get better."" Everything he has said has been spot on so there is no need to doubt him now. His staff was the nicest people I've ever met in a business environment. If anyone deserves a award it would be Loden Vision Center. more

A big thank you to Dr. Loden and his staff! I recieved the iLASIK procedure yesterday after lunch and today at the morning check up, I have 20/15 vision in each eye and it will only improve! Thanks again to Dr. Loden and his amazing staff! more

I spent 15 months on Active Duty with the majority of that spent deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I returned to the States completely fed-up with wearing glasses. Having to switch back and forth between goggles, sunglasses and regular glasses everytime I went in and out of building or a sand-storm hit just added to daily frustrations. more

I went to Dr. Loden because my mom had Lasik done by him and really liked him. The consultation was free, so that was another reason to go. I wanted to have Lasik, but Dr. Loden found that I wasn't the best candidate for the surgery, so they suggested PRK. I got the surgery, I have 20/20 vision now, and I couldn't be happier! Its so nice not to have to fool with contacts and glasses anymore! Thanks Dr. Loden and AJ! Pros: Friendly staff Cons: Kinda pricy, but no one wants cheep eye surgery more

I got early cataracts from taking incorrect amounts of eye drops. Dr. Loden's office expected payment up front, which wasn't fully explained to me and which I didn't realize until my day of surgery!! My FSA account wouldn't pay ahead of time, of course!, so I was required to pay that full amount by check before Dr. Loden did the surgery. The surgery itself, however, was magic. Dr. Loden's assistants made me feel very relaxed and comfortable, even though I knew I would be AWAKE during the surgery. As they bragged, Dr. Loden was born with a scalpel in his hand! No problems at all, recovery was easy, and I still see great, 2 years later. Thanks Dr. Loden!! Pros: 100% Cons: Glitches up front w/insurance more

I came to Dr. Loden about 4 years ago for LASIK surgery. Dr. Loden was the only doctor who actually took the time to personally meet with me and discuss my options. He felt I was not an ideal candidate for LASIK because of ""thin corneas"". Since then I had the Implantable Contact Lens done and see 20/15 today thanks to Dr. Loden and his team of experts at Loden Vision Centers!! Thank you Dr. Loden! Pros: All perfect! more
