Based upon my knowledge, education & experience, Dr. Lance Ferguson is the preeminent ocular surgeon of our respective generations. He has performed four (4) eye surgeries for me & two (2) for my mother over the past 19 years. Dr. Ferguson is truly a card-carrying genius, yet he possesses a fun, playful personality that one wouldn’t expect from his kind. His staff is friendly & knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Ferguson & his team of eye professionals!

Dr. Ferguson was phenomenal. He talked through the steps during my procedure and kept me updated as we went. He’s completed tens of thousands of procedures, but took the time to keep me comfortable during my LASIK surgery.
