I am thinking of doing LASIK.

Are there any good ones you guys would recommend?

Are there any things I should do to prepare or consider when choosing a place?

Can you typically negotiate over the price?

Thanks a bunch!

both my mother and myself went through Duke. My mother used Dr. Carlson who is one of the best and I used Dr. Semchyshyn.

No issues or complications.

I used Dr. Smith on the corner of Blue Ridge Rd. and Lake Boone Trail. I did it in January of 2003 and it was the best thing I did for myself. I don't know how much she charges these days, but she and the rest of the staff are awesome.

I had Lasik at Duke as well. Very happy with the procedure and results.

Two recommendations. Locally, I would consider Dr. James Kiley of the Raleigh Eye Center:

Raleigh Eye Center - James W. Kiley, MD

Within the state, I think one of the best overall is Dr. Christenbury. He runs a huge lasik center in Charlotte:

Charlotte Lasik, Charlotte Lasik Surgery, Charlotte Lasik Doctor, Charlotte Lasik Eye Surgeon

Remember with lasik that it's important to select a surgeon who has had a lot of experience - don't just go with the cheapest place.
