Unbelievable! I had my LASIK surgery yesterday and I already see perfectly! Dr. Norden was like a robot during the procedure; he knew exactly what he had to to, and he did it perfectly. I felt completely relaxed and comfortable during the procedure, he explained everything he was doing the whole length of the procedure. He is very nice and answered all of my questions! I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend anybody to go to him for this procedure. (Did I mention I would highly recommend him?) My old contact lens proscription was -4.75 in both eyes. The whole reason I wanted this done was because I was tired of spending $600 a year on contacts. Enough was enough. My Father had his LASIK done by Dr. Norden almost 15 years ago so I knew he was very experienced with the procedure. I am very squeamish and was very scared to get the surgery. Believe me if I can do it, you can. The first step is to get the paperwork out of the way, and immediately after that you are brought into the relaxation room to chill out and get a back massage in the high tech chair they have! After twenty or so minutes they bring you into the operating room with the music you had chosen to play of your choice during the procedure; I chose Pink Floyd. It was un-nerving laying down on the table, I was almost shaking I was so scared but once Dr. Norden came in and started doing his thing I was calm, I knew I was in great hands. I didnt feel a thing. The procedure itself was lightning fast, the only songs that played were Wish You Were Here, and Shine On You Crazy Diamond, so it couldnt have been more than 20 minutes for both eyes. When completed, and I sat up for the first time I couldnt believe how well my vision had improved already! We went into another room to see just how much of an improvement I had made already. I could almost see the 20/20 line already. He then took a final look at my eyes with a machine to make sure the flaps were seated correctly. The last thing they did was placed clear lenses over my eyes to be worn until the following morning. After I got home I took some of the eye drops I was prescribed, laid down and zonked out for awhile. Overall discomfort was as if you had a pair of dried out contacts in your eyes. My eyes also wouldnt stop watering! By the time I woke up this morning I could already see better than I ever did before with contacts or glasses. The procedure was worth every penny. He could have charged me twice as much and it still would have been worth it. Dr. Norden and his practice is a solid 11/10. I wouldnt have trusted any other doctor to do it to be honest.

Had an appt for surgery. Arrived early but had to wait almost 2 hours. When they called us in, we knew right away there was something wrong. There is a relaxation room we were supposed to be in before surgery to prepare you. We were never shown into that room because there was another patient waiting in that room. The technician put drops in to numb the eyes (didnt wear gloves). Within seconds of having the drops in another technician called her coworker to have us removed from the operating room. The entire staff seemed frazzled. When we voiced our concerns, we were told there is something going on so Dr Norden will speak to us. He came into the room to tell us that there is a case he needs tend to that is urgent because the patient misinformed them about his history. He then said he had to go and didnt have time to deal with us so cancel the appointment if we wanted he didnt care. He seemed so aggregated that my husband questioned his ability to preform the procedure properly So we left. Never have I been treated so badly at a doctors office, especially for an elective surgery. Dr Norden charges 50% more than other lasik surgeons in the area but we were willing to have the procedure done by Dr Norden and for the service he provided, Not to be rushed in and rushed out and get yelled at!

I am Nordens biggest fan! He has given me the opportunity to finally be able to see! With corneal problems and a high prescription I was not a candidate for lasik at first. Dr. Norden patiently worked with me for 6 months until I had healthy eyes to proceed with this procedure. He has also done my mothers lasik surgery and the amazing Ultherapy. We are so happy to have came across a doctor that truly cares for his patients. Also staff is very friendly and always welcoming. I will continue to recommend him to all my friends & family.

The procedure went well, vision is better, doctor Norden is nice... but !!! I went there so many times (check ups etc), maybe just one time I waited few minutes, all other appointments are 1 hour or more waiting !!!!!! I understand there are "emergencies" and delays... but every single time ???? Im sorry but this is way to much!

I was extremely pleased with this life altering procedure. The experience was pleasant and the results better than I could have ever expected.
