Patient Experiences

“Can’t begin to say how happy I am to have had LASIK from Dr. Johnson. They all kept me well-informed, put my mind at ease. The procedure was so quick – and he talked me through the whole thing. Within 6 hours my eyes felt pretty good, almost no discomfort. Waking up from the nap was pretty incredible. North Suburban Eye Specialists is everything I would have hoped – very professional, clean, relaxing waiting rooms – top notch. Thanks you!”

“Like many I have had glasses since I was a child. I thought many years ago about having corrective surgery but was not ready. I am glad I waited because the results from the surgery at NSES are amazing. I used to have 20/600 vision. Now I have 20/15. Such a small decision has had a huge positive effect on my life. I am so glad I finally made the choice.”

Anne Johnson

 

“After wearing glasses and contacts to correct my vision for the last 19 years, I finally decided to get LASIK. I “shopped” around at other places but felt like I was just another number, never feeling like I got genuine care… then I found Dr. Johnson and North Suburban Eye Specialists. Dr. Patrick Johnson is a “miracle worker.” I can’t remember the last time I woke up and was able to see without having to stumble to get my glasses. The day I got LASIK was in my top 5 best days of my life! I am forever grateful to you guys for giving me back my vision.”

“LASIK was the best choice I have made in regards to my eye are! Dr. Folden and the staff were excellent. The day after surgery my vision is 20/15. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner!”

“I had a wonderful experience with North Suburban Eye Specialists and Dr. Johnson for my LASIK procedure. Every part of the process was seamless and efficient; from the consultation to the surgery and the follow up care. The staff was as friendly as could be and helpful at every visit. And best of all, I can see perfectly and the procedure was quick and I had very little discomfort. I would recommend NSES and Dr. Johnson to anyone and everyone!”

Jim Mattson

 

“My experience at North Suburban Eye Specialists and with Dr. Patrick Johnson has been fantastic! All of my questions were answered thoroughly and the LASIK procedure was described in detail. Dr. Johnson’s friendly manner and care for his patients is appreciated and I would recommend him to anyone interested in LASIK surgery.”

Katherine Dom

 

“I had considered LASIK for a couple years after wearing contacts and glasses for 20+ years and having more difficulties with them. I heard good things about North Suburban and was on my last pair for contacts and my glasses broke. I decided now was the time!! After my consultation I knew it was the answer. The staff was great, they described the procedure in detail and I left without a doubt. The procedure went exactly as described, completely pain free. After a couple hours of minor irritation I couldn’t stop looking around at how detailed everything looked! As I write this at my post op appointment after testing my eyes at 20/10 vision! DO NOT WAIT ANOTHER DAY! If your are hesitating at all, trust me, you won’t regret it.”

“The most impressive aspect of North Suburban Eye Specialists was the staff. Form top to bottom they exercised a high degree of professionalism, care, and patience from the original consultant to the day of the surgery. Following the day of my LASIK surgery my eyes are seeing and feeling better than I expected. I am very thankful for my experience so far and I suspect my eyes will only get better.”

“Dr. Johnson is a friendly, kind and patient doctor. I had in my mind that my appointment was at 2:15pm. I got the call around 1:50, asking where I was. I freaked out, but somehow North Suburban Eye Specialists found time for me to still come in. I was very thankful and overall, besides a little discomfort during the surgery, the experience was great. Thank you so much NSES and Dr. Johnson for accommodating my error and still taking care of me!”

“I had LASIK surgery at North Suburban and am so happy with my results. I went with monovision and can now see all the time without glasses including when I’m driving and working on my computer.”

“I would definitely do it again!”
