Initially I was nervous about LASIK, because I only have one set of eyes and I didn't know how risky it was. But I'd wondered about it for a long time, so I asked ChatGPT where famous people go to do their LASIK. I figured if a person can afford to go anywhere, where would they go?

I found that many go to Maloney-Shamie-Hura, which gave me a sense of trust. And, wonderfully, I found the price of LASIK here is not much different than other places.

I'm super glad I chose here. The experience was great overall. The staff were so kind to me and Dr. Hura corrected my vision to better than I've ever had. I see better now than I did with glasses. The recovery process was really smooth.

Where do I even start? I'm a U.S. Marine and have been stuck wearing contacts for about 10 years. Glasses never worked for me, and in the field I'd constantly deal with eye infections because of unhygienic conditions. It wasn't sustainable for my health or my wallet.

Dr. Hura performed my LASIK and the results have been nothing short of life-altering. The entire team was professional, thorough, and genuinely cared about my outcome. I could not be more grateful.

Phenomenal. Dr. Hura really took care to ensure I wasn't a LASIK horror story. He checked my eyes and let me know I wouldn't be able to have the procedure right away due to dry eyes. Over the next three months he sent me home twice due to dry eyes — but also provided special eye drops and a treatment plan each time. The day he cleared me, surgery was perfect and my vision is now better than it ever was with glasses or contacts.

It's been 1 year and 3 weeks since I had LASIK by Dr. Hura and my vision is PERFECT. I moved to Europe shortly after the 3-month mark and had my eyes examined again — the optometrist had nothing but great things to say. My vision remains exactly as it was post-surgery.

Dr. Hura did such an amazing job and was so great to work with. He answered all of my questions, was super supportive, and I've been loving the results of my LASIK! I'd call this experience quite a luxury — but I haven't shut up about it!

Loved the visits and warm visits and feeling comfortable to ask questions. Constant communication via text and phone calls were needed reminders when days are filled with so much to do. When going to do the procedure, the surgery location was great and all personnel were also reassuring. Meeting Dr. Hura for both surgergies was also comforting. Now after all the waiting...... So amazed to know that I can see colors and appreciate all there is to see. Thank you very much!

I had surgery on two very dense cataracts performed by Dr. Hura last November and cannot recommend Dr. Hura or the entire office staff more highly. From my initial examination through all final testing, scheduling and payment arrangements everyone I dealt with was kind, supportive, efficient and helpful. While I had been dreading the whole process they could not have made it easier. The surgery itself was painless and very effective returning my eyes to 20/20 vision and allowing me to see things I hadn't seem in years. If you need serious eye care I could not recommend a better place to go.
