LASIK was never something I seriously considered. I was perfectly fine wearing glasses, and while they could be inconvenient during sports or other activities, I figured the procedure and recovery wouldn’t be worth the hassle. I couldn’t have been more wrong. A friend of mine had LASIK done here and told me how quick, easy, and painless both the procedure and recovery were. After hearing about his experience, I decided to schedule a consultation. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The staff answered every ...

I had an amazing experience at Global LASIK from start to finish. Dr. Melikian was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The surgery was quick, and my vision improved almost immediately. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I also want to give a huge thank you to the front desk team. Anna, Adriana, Diana, and Mari were all so kind, welcoming, and patient. They answered all of my questions, made scheduling easy, and always greeted me with a smile. They made the whole experience feel ...

Shopped around a bit before landing here, and honestly, their customer service, doctors bedside manners too is what sold me. Got scheduled for LASIK surgery just 2 weeks after my consult. Though I consulted in Pasadena, surgery was at their Huntington Beach office. The doctor consistently checked in with me and stayed on top of my follow-ups, which luckily I was able to do in Pasadena. Smooth process overall, highly recommend if you’re considering LASIK or SMILE

I just had LASIK surgery with Global LASIK & Cataracts Institute in Pasadena. Their team is incredible and we’re very comforting. I was nervous about getting the actual procedure but it was quick, safe and they made me entirely comfortable. I couldn’t recommend them enough, they are a pleasure to work with and have taken great care of me both before and after the procedure. Not to mention, my vision is GREAT NOW!!! It’s changed my life. Thanks to Adriana, Diana and the rest of the team. They were great!

I had a great experience with Dr. Liu and her team. The office was very stylish, welcoming, and efficient - didn’t wait long. Dr. Liu took her time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made I was aware about the importance of regular check-ups. The equipment looked new, and the whole visit felt very thorough but relaxed. I left seeing better and feeling well taken care of. Highly recommend!
