Kaiser Redwood City Laser Vision Correction

4 year update: still perfect vision after LASIK w dr Holsclaw! Love this guy. Best surgeon and kind man.

Fantastic service. Great doctors. Great turnaround time on contacts /​lenses. I’d come back here again.

I agree with Taiga’s review on 7÷27÷10 except that I had PRK done. After having a consultation at Scott Hyver’s office in Daly City and feeling like a warm body with a $ on my forehead I called around and found Jenna and Dr. Holsclaw. I as sure glad I did. They treated me like a human being and not someone on the conveyer belt of financial probability. they are kind, gentle and genuine. I had an amazing experience and recommend them to anyone I know that is interested in Lasik. You don’t have to be a Kaiser member and I agree you should ask about their discount periods.

Seems like just yesterday I had my surgery but it has already been a month. My surgery was very successful (LASIK– wavefront) because my surgeon’s superb and I did my part of the deal (wearing the goggles as instructed and using the eye drops provided).
I highly recommend getting LASIK done through Kaiser Permanente in Redwood City with Dr Doug Holsclaw. The procedure is not covered by insurance so you do not need to be a member of KP to get LASIK and also the consultation is free. (Don’t be shy to ask if they are offering any specials [May/​June was 20% off])
The first day I went there I got my eyes mapped and they checked my prescription (they looked at the thickness of my cornea) and 1 week later I went to get my eyes mapped again (I wore contacts on the first visit so had to stop wearing contacts for about five days to get it rechecked) and did a thorough check up to make sure I am a good candidate. What I liked about KP is I get to meet and talk to the surgeon prior to deciding whether or not I want to get my eyes corrected there. Jenna (coordinator) is really sweet and she sets up all the appointments for mapping (making sure I’m a good candidate), reviewing of the contract prior to surgery (very thorough information is provided on the consultation and appointments thereafter), and also the payment plan.
Dr Holsclaw is really nice and gentle; before the procedure he explained what will be done and approximately how long it will take, then during the procedure he explained to me again (eg. I am going to put clips in your eye now, we are going to cut the cornea flap, etc) I have sensitive eyes and I felt a burning sensation and was tearing after the surgery for about 3 hours then I took a 3 hour nap (total 6 hrs) when I woke up it was AMAZING because I could see everything clearly already. Also, my eyes were not red nor was it swollen.
The price of LASIK done in KP is comparable to other places and all the follow up appointments are included. I went to 3 appointments prior to surgery (consultation, thorough checkup, signing the contract), then the surgery, then post operation appointment the day after, then 1 week appointment and then 1 month appointment. Jenna will call me for my 3 month appointment and I will go again for my 1 year checkup. They want to see their patients to make sure it’s healing correctly and vision is steady.
My friend already went to her consultation at Kaiser after hearing about my experience and wants to do LASIK too.
