"I had a great experience at Atlantic Eye Laser Centre. Laser eye surgery is daunting, however the team made me feel very comfortable and explained everything clearly. They take you through several appointments to ensure you get the exact surgery your eyes need, and their post-op care is thoughtful and supportive. I highly recommend Atlantic Eye Laser to anyone thinking about getting laser eye surgery."
"After 3 opinions i finally landed at Atlantic Eye Laser Centre and was so happy with my choice. It’s the most friendly and professional bunch of people. Every interaction filled me with confidence that i was at the right place. I’m very happy with the outcome."
"Your eyesight is your most important and precious sense. It's certainly nothing to play with. From my first interaction, the team at Atlantic Eye Laser Centre have been amazing. Very clean, well maintained and professional. They are absolute professionals. Dr. McClunan is clearly the best in his field. Very knowledgeable and sharp. You really get the sense that you are in good hands. My PRK surgery went very well. Completely painless and super fast and efficient. Im now 8 days post op and I feel great. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!"
"I had my SMILE eye surgery done at Atlantic Eye Centre and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with such professionalism and care. Dr McClunan was exceptional—calm, knowledgeable, and really took the time to make me feel comfortable and informed. The entire team was incredibly friendly, supportive, and efficient. They made what could have been a nerve-wracking experience feel smooth and stress-free. The results have been life-changing, and I’m so grateful for the amazing care I received. Highly recommend Atlantic Eye Centre and Dr McClunan, to anyone considering vision correction—truly a 5-star experience!"
"It is not often that I rate and review experiences, but this one is needed. I have never in my life experienced such professional, caring, friendly and efficient service. From the first time I called and spoke to Caroline regarding the procedure, to the very last minute of walking out the clinic, with the most amazing gift in hand, there is absolutely no faulting the service received. I have been wearing glasses for 14 years and the procedure to correct my vision has been nothing short of life changing. Dr Mc Clunan's expertise goes above and beyond what I was expecting. The procedure I had was very rare and he had only performed it once in his career, but his calm, confident and patient demeanor around the procedure made me feel confident and at ease. I highly highly highly recommend Atlantic Eye Laser Clinic. If I could have given them 100 stars, I would have. I am so grateful to have had the privilege of going to such an extraordinary Clinic. Thank you !!!!"
"I had such a great experience at Atlantic Eye Center! The staff were super friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in, and the doctors were amazing — really skilled, caring, and took the time to explain everything clearly. You can tell everyone there genuinely cares about their patients. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience."
