Hi, I posted this in the wrong forum originally (Lasik Equipment) so I am reposting it here as well......

Hello, I have read most of the forums here which answered a lot of my questions so thank you very much!! One quesiton I do have is, here in Canada, we have a place doing eye surgery called LasikMD. They have a great sale price to get eyes done for very cheap. I'm thinking, is it too good to be true? Now since it's the Dr who really controls the end result. How do you shop for one. The Dr at the Vancouver location, where I would be going, is Dr. Joseph King. (http://www.lasikmd.ca/drjoseph.html) He has done approx 25,000 laser eye procedures and sounds very good and it says he is one of the most experienced in North America having gone to school here in Victoria BC, Cleveland, Florida, etc... and has worked in Canada and San Diego. Being that he has done so many surgeries, someone must have heard of him or had their eyes corrected by him in the USA. I was told by a friend who works at another LASIK center that you have to quesiton someone who has not stayed long at one particular lasik center. I know that many Americans travel to Canada to get laser eye surgery performed. This particular place I'm looking at getting my procedure done at is quite cheap, uses good equipment (217C & 217Z), and therefore very desireable to many. Just wondering if anyone has any good or bad stories they are willing to share about this dr? Thanks very much for your time.

Hi, I just wanted to update this post I did 2 years ago as I am still receiving several emails about it... I did not choose Lasik MD so really can not answer many questions about it, sorry. I went to another center in Vancouver called Coal Harbour Eye Center (www.seewell.ca) so if you have questions about them, I'd be happy to answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks...
