I had lasik done at Kleiman Evangelista Eye Center (August 2009) and it was the best decision I have ever made. The day I had my surgery I got nervous and had a mild panic attack before the procedure started and Dr.Kleiman stopped what he was doing, calmed me down and talked me through the whole thing. Every single step he told me what he was doing, what I could expect and how long it would last. It really helped calm me down knowing that he could tell I was nervous and he cared enough to talk me through the procedure. I knew what to expect, they had gone over it several times, but actually having it done was different. And Dr.Kleiman understood that and made it so much easier. I was so incredibly thankful. The lasik procedure lasted about 15 minutes and I could already see the street signs more clearly on my way home. After a nap that night I woke up and for the first time in 16 years I was watching tv without any assistance. It was incredible. The same day I had lasik surgery! I had one more small concern a few months later when I thought my vision was getting blurry so I went back to Kleiman-Evangelista and they did a full check of my eyes to make sure everything was perfect (I was still a perfect 20/20) and gave me drops to help...I had gotten so used to not having to use my contact drops for my dry eyes that I had forgotten that I was still supposed to be using the rewetting drops while my eyes were adjusting. But they took care of me and made sure that I was completely happy with my procedure and the service I was getting from them. I would recommend lasik and Kleiman-Evangelista to anyone who is a candidate...and have. A year later and there are still mornings that I wake up and reach for my glasses on the nightstand and get a huge grin on my face when I realize that I don't need them anymore. Couldn't be happier!
