"The most professional clinique I have ever been, this surgery changed my life 100%! They performed various tests during the pre surgery procedure and the doctor even persuaded me to consult other cliniques too! I decided to do my lasik surgery at laservision eventually. The surgery was top notch. Everyone is very professional and created a very comfortable environment in the area where the surgery took place. After the surgery, I was given clear instructions and amazing support! I had pain and anxiety on Sunday morning after the surgery and still they opened the clinique just for me!! (eventually it was just my anxiety) The post surgery monitoring was also professional and everything was described clearly. Everyone participating in this process are high end professionals. I totally recommend laservision. Thank you so much for everything."

"I went to the clinic for Smile Laser Surgery. This is an amazing clinic with extremely warm staff and lovely atmosphere. Starting with the people at the reception who were great, Konstantina and Nikos, the optometrists, who took care of the pre-op exams were impeccable and very friendly. Katerina and Ourania were also lovely with a great attitude. Katerina, the optometrist that saw me a week after surgery was exceptional. What can be said for Dr. Kanellopoulos with his warmth and professionalism. He treats every patient with care, patience and extremely fatherly attitude. Probably the friendliest, most professional and compassionate place I have been with the process feeling like a breeze considering the care one receives. If I could give 10/5 I would and it would be too little.Thank you for taking great care of me!"
