EYE CARE PROFESSIONALS
PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
Reno Eye Care Professionals is amazing. Dr. Mills and their staff were so kind and knowledgeable. My LASIK procedure couldn’t have gone better, and I am forever grateful to them!
My experience with Dr. Mills and his staff has been exceptional. They are very thorough with kindness as a priority, I came into their office for LASIK and realized that I needed some extra care prior to my procedure and they made sure I was 100% before it was completed. I could not have been happier with my results and everyone who assisted me, I would recommend Dr. Mills not only for LASIK but for any eye procedure.
From the front desk staff to the medical assistants to Dr. Mills, I had an amazing experience. I had waited until my vision was 20/2500 and after surgery yesterday, I have 20/20. Every person at Eye Care Professionals was very capable, very kind and very thorough, but Dr. Mills was incredible, a fantastic surgeon, with a wonderful bedside manner. I am a patient forever.
