Patient Testimonials

When I decided to have LASIK, I really wanted nothing but the best. I actually took my time - obviously your eyes are kind of important - so I took a while to decide on where I wanted to go. Dr. Katzen was the third office that I did an in-office consultation with all here in South Florida and I obviously made my decision to go with him. I felt most comfortable with my in-office visit here, the facilities and the staff, the faculty in general, and their reputation. A lot of my friends had been there and several of my coworkers said Dr. Katzen was really good, and did the job well, so I felt like I could trust this office. I would say as far as results I definitely got what I was looking for. Good vision, no complications, an easier lifestyle and a lot more freedom! I would call it a life changing miracle so whatever price tag you can put on that I would say it was definitely worth it and if I needed it again I would absolutely do it. Thank you, Dr. Katzen for an excellent experience, a wonderful service and the opportunity to experience more freedom in life with out being encumbered by glasses or contacts. Also thank you to the wonderful staff at Katzen Eye Care Center for the experience that you guys gave me. -Justin G, West Palm Beach
