Overall a great experience! Had lasik surgery with Dr. Kramer, who was very kind and professional. Definitely helped calm my anxiety. All his staff in the surgery room was very helpful and assisted through the procedure. Definitely would recommend him to my friends if they're are wanting LASIK surgery.

Vance Thompson has such a welcoming atmosphere and does a fantastic job making you feel safe in their care. I recently had LASIK and then an enhancement surgery with Dr. Brent Kramer and his staff, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care given from the first consult to now.

Everyone at Vance Thompson is so nice and I'm very glad I had Dr.Kramer for my Lasik procedure. That evening after my lasik, my vision was the clearest I've ever had in my life even with corrective lenses. It's truly amazing and life changing. I only wish I had done it sooner! I now have better than 20/20 vision. I'm super happy with my results!

Great experience, got the surgery yesterday and can see fine today. Dr. Kramer and his assistant talked and walked me through every step of the process. They do lots of reassuring to make sure you’re comfortable.
