Dr. Gabriel J Perry, DO

I had my Lasik procedure just over a week ago and I'm so grateful. From my first phone call with Chelsea to the staff the day of, everyone was so nice, reassuring that I would see my kids again and made me feel at ease. The first day was tough, my discomfort that unexpected but after a good night sleep I was already so much better and each day had me feeling closer and closer to normal again. I'm seeing 20/15 now and very little "dry eye" and I'm only a week out. I wish like most that I had done it sooner but glad I did and glad I found Dr. Perry. And staff.

I absolutely love Lasik Plus and Dr. Gabriel J. Perry!!! Both my husband and I have had our Lasik surgeries done by Dr Perry and we couldn't be happier.The staff is very friendly, professional and make you feel very comfortable. Lasik was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. My husband had his surgery 7 years ago before we met and I had mine yesterday. Today is day two post surgery for me and at my checkup I was told I now have 20/15 vision!! Previously my vision was 20/400 and I wore contacts everyday for 7 years. I'd say my only regret is not having the surgery sooner. Lasik was worth every penny and I know it's going to change my life!

I'm looking for current reviews.

friendly, very well-informed, highly skilled

Dr. Gabriel Perry has restored my faith in cataract removal and ophthalmology as a whole. Having had catatract surgery earlier in the year to my left eye, I was left extremely disappointed with the west valley practice that had positioned itself so highly. The whole "assembly line process" and constant waiting periods, were exasperating and way below standard. It left me worried about where to go for the surgery needed for my right eye, needing to be performed later in the year. My skepticism in finding another doctor had made me gun-shy. As an artist, I was obviously concerned about the surgery outcome as I sifted through several alternative doctors and practices. My eventual choice turned out to be a winner!! Dr Perry has proved to be probably one of the best doctors I have ever seen in my life! The whole experience of cataract surgery was totally professional and satisfying in every way. From his personal manner, to his office staff, to the clinic where surgery was performed, I… received the highest standards of treatment. Receiving a phone call in the evening from Dr Perry checking on my post operative comfort and condition, also revealed his overall professionalism and concern for my well being. I would not hesitate to personally recommend him.

I can't say enough good things about Dr Perry. He is not only a great doctor, but a caring human being. It is not often that you consider surgery (especially on your eyes) a good experience, but both surgeries were just that. I couldn't believe it when he called me at 9 PM on the day of the surgery to make sure that things were still OK.

I went here for an annual eye exam. I sat in the waiting room for about 15 minutes. When I walked in - no one greeted me. They told me to sit down and wait until they called my name. There was an elderly woman waiting for glasses, who obviously had been there for some time. The staff could not have been ruder or nastier to her. Telling her she would just have to be patient (in a very impatient tone). She had a medical driver there, who obviously could not wait, and so she had to leave without the glasses. After she left, the office staff said (in a way that everyone in the waiting room could hear), "some people just have to be patient." At one point someone that needed help was told that they could not get something done because they were all different businesses - I was not treated by the doctor, I got up and walked out after seeing the way the office staff treated people. He could be the best opthamologist in the world - but his outer office is abysmal.

I would highly recommend Dr. Perry. He is a warm and caring doctor. He took time to explain what surgery needed to be done, what I could expect after cataract surgery especially after having worn hard contacts for more than 50 years and with an astigmatism . He is a careful and skilled eye surgeon. Not only did he meet his expectations he exceeded them. You will be in good hands with Dr. Perry.

Only 4 more hours to daybreak, and I'm staying up to watch the sunrise like never before. As a farsighted presbiotic, I showed up for surgery hoping for the mono-vision discussed with Dr. Perry's staff during my exam, as it offered hope for a future without wearing glasses. But when I finally met Dr. Perry he spent a few minutes explaining why he was opposed to it, and why I would be better off with both eyes adjusted to correct my farsightedness. He mentioned I might find reading glasses to be unnecessary, but the amount of adjustment to make mono-vision work would be so much that I would probably not adjust to liking it, and end up dissatisfied with seeing distance and close. After hearing him out, I agreed. Before surgery, I thanked his staff for taking time to test my eye prescription for the third time. The technician responded, "Well, you only get one chance to get it right, so we want to get as close to perfect as possible, and that is why we test your eyes on more than one… day, with and without dilation." I never thought to compare exams when researching where to go, but hearing that calmed me down more than the valium they offered at the start of the appointment. Surgery itself only lasted 10 min. max just like the brochure said. Once invited into the large surgery room, the doctor handed me the anesthesia dropper, which I put in myself. He looks at your eyes, and makes a couple marks with a small pen. The drops work fast because I could feel pressure but no pain. Then I lay down on the chair at the first large machine. One eye is covered, and a ring shaped tool is held against my eye and some suction is applied that makes it squeeze my eye gently. At that point the doctor has control of you eye, and you are told to relax. I focus on the green light in the middle and try to ignore the red light on either side as they start to expand until the reg overlaps the green. There is definate pressure pushing in on my eye. it hurts a little but is tolerable and constant. He counts down 20 seconds as the red lights flicket and dance around making it hard to focus on the green light, but I held still and kept my focus on the green. As soon as the 20 seconds are over, the pressure is released and the pain is instantly gone. He said we have a good flap, and the procedure is repeated for the other eye. Then the assistant guides me to lie down at the next station. Again something squeezes my eye, and i probably couldn't move it if I tried. This time a ring of several bluish white lights descends and expands into my peripheral area until out of view and everything is black. I hear him say you're doing great, just a few more seconds, and I get a whiff of something reminds of the smell when the dentist is doing some heavy drilling for a filling, although I imagine this time it is something more like smoke as microscopic portions of my eyeball are incinerated. I smell it, but I feel nothing, other than a slight steady pressure, less than the first station. The second eye is done before I know it. There was no time to think about what music would go with the lights best.. it was that quick. As I make my way onto my feet again, I see what he is telling me about how everything is behind a white haze, like looking through wax paper, except something is different. As I pick up my goodie bag of things to take with me, I notice I can actually read the brochure sticking out of the bag. I hit the speed dial on my cell to tell my wife I'm ready and notice I can read her name on the display. I wasn't really expecting that. It's hard to tell how distance vision is because it's too bright to look up once outside. Within a few minutes my eyes are stinging a bit, and feels like debris or something rough is under the eye lids. it's not as bad as when a speck of dirt is actually under the lid, but it still is a little painful and annoying. I put in the 3 types of drops, take a short nap, and wake to notice the pain is gone to just barely feel it when blinking, and the white film is gone..colors are back to normal. After that my couldn't tell if I was laughing or crying, and was probably a little of both. I thought things don't really happen that are too good to be true, especially when paying for them.. at least not until now. This is the first, and as I type this is in small ridiculously small font, I am not wearing glasses. When I read the clock, I see it's 3:09AM without glasses. And I'll see the dawn over the Sonoran desert landscape of Daisy Mountain .. without glasses. Only 3 more hours to go. I think I'll watch a movie. Oh..forgot to mention got a call this evening from the doctor himself, just checking how I'm doing. So more gold stars for Dr. Perry, and LasikPlus. I hope all his patients have this experience that I've had so far. It's the best day of my life, just don't tell my wife I said that..

Great care and follow up is fantastic. My trust in him is complete. I have worn glasses for over 50 years and then got lasic surgery. Never happier. I go to him for yearly exams and glaucoma treatment. He keeps my eyes in good health.
