Lasik in boston area?

Question

i want to get lasik and live in the boston area but i have no idea how to research and find a good doctor. Could you suggest good doctors around boston, if not that then can you tell me

how i would go about narrowing the list down to only a couple doctors that i would then go to for a consultation. I already know the risks and everything that's involved...but i just cant pick from the long list of doctors around here...

Thank you very much

ps: i was thinking about Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary because they are big and specialize with the eyes, what would you guys think about that.

Answer 3

Lasik eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and Lasik surgery in India by a company called Indian Health Guru Consultants. The Price for dental and Lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.

Indian Health Guru Consultants is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, Lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.

They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
