Dr. Wexler, Dr. Polk, Jared and all staff are WONDERFUL! I was informed from the very beginning what to expect from PRK and given exactly what I needed to make my recovery go smoothly. They made my experience enjoyable! I highly recommend them if you’re considering LASIK or PRK! It’s a whole new world not having to use contacts or glasses to see clearly! THANK YOU TRULY!
The WashU Medicine LASIK Surgery Center is by far the best LASIK surgery center in the St. Louis area if not the entire United States. Dr. Polk and Dr. Wexler were terrific and made sure I knew everything that was going on through my whole time dealing with them. The entire staff at the center are consummate professionals and made sure I was comfortable and understood the whole process. From the reception desk attendant and the staff measuring my eyes, to the assistant during surgery (I believe her name was Chao) and the center manager Jared, everyone ...
I got surgery in November 2025, and it was such a great decision. Dr. Wexler, Dr. Polk, and the entire team at WashU were amazing! Everything was so organized each time I had an appointment, including surgery day. I felt like I could understand the entire process and ask questions at any time. The recovery was not very difficult, and even during the times it was, it was so worth it. I have had no issues, and it has almost been a year since my surgery! Highly recommend WashU LASIK!
I did the free consultation last year. Even scheduled the procedure and got cold feet. However, I came back this year and I wish I hadn't waited so long! The entire experience from consultation to post-op went more seamless than I could ever imagine. They worked with my schedule and even got me in before a trip so I would have 20/20 for it! I went in on a Thursday afternoon for the procedure. The staff was welcoming, comforting and informative. They talked me through everything and about an hour later I left. I had a follow up appointment the next Friday ...
I recently had LASIK surgery with Dr. Wexler, and I’m incredibly happy with how everything went. Dr. Wexler, a highly skilled and professional surgeon with many years of experience, worked his magic performing the surgery after thoroughly answering all my questions and addressing every concern I had. The surgery itself was painless, with only minimal discomfort, and looking back, I wish I had done it years ago instead of waiting so long. A special thank to Leo, who conducted the pre-surgery testing and provided invaluable support throughout the entire ...
I cannot say enough good about this ophthalmology group. All of the physicians and staff are friendly, helpful, professional, and very competent. I have received wonderful care. I highly recommend this practice. I have seen several specialists and was very impressed with all of them.
