What a quick and easy procedure. Very organized with competent, friendly and caring staff from check in to release. Dr. Howard actually gives you his private cell # and calls you the next day personally to see how you are doing. They explained everything along the way, answered all questions and asked several times if you had any more questions. I highly recommend Dr. Howard and staff.

Everyone was very professional, caring and very concerned about my comfort. In addition, they provided more information about what to expect during the procedure as well as follow up. I appreciated that they included my husband in the pre-op process. Dr. Howard, his PA and the anesthesiologist all came in to check on me prior to the surgery. The post surgery follow up - including a call from Dr Howard has been excellent.

I would not trust anyone else with my eyes. Wore glasses since I was 4. Received Lasik by Dr. Solomon about 20 years ago. Going from being legally blind without contacts or glasses to being able to see 20/20 was totally amazing. I didn’t notice any change until recently. Then I went to bed and woke up with total blurriness and legally blind again. I had cataracts. Had my first eye operated on last week and things are crystal clear. His office staff and surgery center were the best. I chose to get the newer LAL lens so my sight will be adjusted to where I want it. It is so exciting and we are so lucky to have one of the best doctors in the country right here in Charleston. I can’t wait to get the light treatments and have the vision I want.

I felt like everyone who serviced me enjoyed what they were assigned to do. They smiled and took the time to answer questions my husband asked. He shared from being there was wonderful service. Even when Dr. Boatwright started, it was a blessing to include God orally in a manner that we were all included. Everyone who came into the area spoke to both of us making our presence equally as important as theirs. Thanks to everyone for their service. We appreciated the love and concern that was shown.
