"When I talk to a perspective patient about why they should have Dr. Golden do their procedure, I know I am giving them the best advice. You cannot beat his experience and the care he and Dr. McNelis give our patients, whether they are a candidate for Lasik or not. We all have only one pair of eyes, so it is most important to give people the facts about why experience and individual care should be the deciding factors, not price. It's also great to know that we are so affordable."
