Dr. Faktorovich has been very attentive to me over the course of my LASIK process with her. She has checked my eyes numerous times to make I had enough time out of contact lenses to have a successful result. As a result of her outstanding care and skill, I can see better than 20/20! My prescription was very high and I wasn't sure I could have LASIK. So, it is especially gratifying to be able to see so well. Everyone at Pacific Vision Institute has been incredible! These guys are the absolute best of the best!

The staff at Pacific Vision Institute is incredible. Every step of the way, I felt I was being taken care of. They are genuine and are on top of even the smallest things. My wife and I both had our LASIK with Dr. Faktorovich over two years ago and have great vision. Dr. Faktorovich is the best of the best! My glasses were coke bottle bottom thick. They are now history. My wife wore contacts and she too can see really well. Our eye doctor had LASIK with Dr. Faktorovich almost 20 years ago. She also did LASIK on his partner’s eyes. My eye doctor said that she is the only one he would ever trust his eyes to. A miracle worker!

I had LASIK with Dr. Faktorovich more than 10 years ago and my vision is still fantastic. She is very accomplished and a very nice person.

I wore contacts and glasses for over 20 years. Now I can see perfectly. Dr. Faktorovich did an incredible job. She performed Intralasik surgery on my eyes, and now my vision is better than 20/20. The process was pretty straight forward. I came in for a consultation where i was found to be a good candidate. I picked the date and financed the operation with Care Credit (interest free). I week later I had my surgery. It was painless. There was some uncomfortable pressure for a few seconds. Other than that I did not feel anything. I had it done in the morning and took a nap for a couple of hour after. When I woke up I. Ould see!

My brother had a procedure at Pacific Vision Institute. He couldn't stop raving about them and he's so picky, picky. I've been wearing contacts since I was 17 and I was getting jealous of how well he could see. So I went to check them out. This office is quite impressive. They've got all the latest gizmos, plus they have photos of all these eye doctors who had their eyes done there. I had lasik with dr. Faktorovich. I love it. I'm even more ecstatic than my brother. Him and I are constantly competing now to see who can see better :)
