EyeHealth Northwest has been serving Portland patients for over 65 years – just one of the many signs of their solid experience. Beyond their years in service, they also made our list thanks to their tech and notable patient care.

Treatment plans in this clinic are customized to address unique patient needs, from consultation to operation. Plus, we’ve heard great things about how attentive they are when assessing issues and presenting potential solutions.

Their pre-operative consultation involves the assistance of a trained and certified patient counselor. This earns our favor because we’re also looking for patient guidance going through the surgery and recovery period.

LASIK surgery is among their top specialties, performed by board-certified ophthalmologists specializing in refractive surgery. A lot of the patients we interviewed were very happy with their services here.

On the downside, wait times in the clinic can be exhaustingly long, plus the fact that they’re also prone to appointment issues. We recommend checking availability dates if you’re interested since this can be a busy clinic.

Anyway, we see their set of technology as some of the best in the field (S200 Femtosecond laser, Contoura Vision topography, etc.). That’s always worth considering when going in for a procedure like LASIK.

NVISION Eye Centers boasts over 35 centers across 5 states in the country, proving itself to be one of the most trusted and largest LASIK and cataract surgery providers. They were another of the most-mentioned names in our initial survey searching for candidates.

In our opinion, their eye experts are keen on offering clients details on their next-to-no-pain procedure. Plus, according to the clients we’ve interviewed, they provide a very patient-centered atmosphere.

NVISION also promises a smooth pre- and post-operation experience, which clients attested to. LASIK consultations are free in the facility which, although not unique, remains a great help to clients. 

Additionally, they accept credit cards and accept insurance.

However, there’s a clear downside to this clinic’s popularity throughout the years: there is a big possibility of long queues. So, make sure that you make your appointment before you go to the clinic to avoid this inconvenience.

As far as experience goes, the clinic has already performed more than 2 million successful procedures. A large part of it involves LASIK surgery so we think they’re worth a visit if ever you’re in the area.

Skills and experience are the top 2 things that we loved about King LASIK. To give you an idea, they’ve already done 150,000 successful laser eye surgeries, making them highly specialized in the procedure.

In this particular location, Dr. King and Dr. Fillmore invest in technologies that take the process to the next level. For instance, they use a VISX Star S4 Excimer Laser System which has been found to provide precise laser treatments.

In addition to that, their surgeons also use a special laser to create the corneal flap, eliminating the need for handheld mechanical blades. We approve of this approach because it’s fast and reduces the risk of laser eye surgery.

When it comes to the entire process as a whole, we find their customized plans to be pretty good. This is because they have in-depth eye health history assessments, plus a complete evaluation of diagnostic scans.

On top of that, they also offer a free LASIK virtual consultation that pleased us in many ways. 

First, we love that it’s free for potential clients; second, we like that it’s done online to reduce the need for travel in case the patient turns out to be an unlikely candidate.

The clinic also honors all insurance discounts and offers flexible financing plans to make the treatment more affordable. We also find their customer service great so we reckon you’ll have a comfortable time here.

Crews LASIK & Cataract Center is a prominent eye clinic operating in Portland metro and Vancouver. Apart from their 30 years of experience, they have a lot in store that we think deserves to be highlighted.

For starters, their LASIK surgery consultation is free so patients don’t have to shell out any amount for the screening. On top of that, the procedure itself is priced competitively as each eye starts at only $199.

And if the total cost of the treatment is still beyond your means, they also have financing options available. It’s a great thing to keep in mind – in case your customized treatment plan ends up being more expensive than expected.

As for the actual procedure, we see the entire process as seamless and very friendly to all types of clients. The doctor, Dr. Crews, is highly experienced in LASIK surgery and it’s actually among his top specializations in his career.

In addition to that, they also have advanced tech such as VISX star S4 excimer laser system and Nidek EC-5000 excimer laser system. To put it simply, these are some of the most-recommended equipment for laser surgery right now.

There’s just a small issue regarding appointments and the overall customer service in the place. But we do think it’s worth checking out, especially if you want to opt for a competitively-priced LASIK surgery.

Founded in 1985, Pacific Cataract and Laser Institute (PCLI) is known for bringing a gentle touch to eye surgery. To do this, they have with them an exceptional group of physicians and warm, caring staff.

Having performed more than 700,000 micro eye surgeries, PCLI has proven itself to us with its specialization in cataract surgery and laser vision correction. That is why they are often called the most experienced eye care facility in their area.

With their continually improving techniques and technological advancements, they certainly have an edge over many other clinics. Their goal, they say, is to significantly reduce the clients’ dependence.

To get through this, a candidate for this treatment should undergo a LASIK screening – and they offer that service with no charge. 

And if you appear to be a good candidate and wish to proceed, their team of experts will perform a complete eye exam to confirm.

Another thing we like about this clinic is its straightforward pricing system with no hidden fees. In addition to that, they also accept insurance to cover the cost and provide discounts, flexible monthly payments are also available for as low as $75 per month.

When it comes to postoperative care, they carefully do examinations and close monitoring of their patients throughout their recovery. We heard no complaints from their patients here. 

Overall, we think it’s a good choice if you want close patient care throughout the journey.
