Why Choose US?
1. We treat you like family - Once a patient, always a friend
 We will treat you like family. This principle guides us in everything we do. Every time a patient comes in for LASIK eye surgery in San Diego, we imagine that this person is a loved father, mother, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, or close friend. We treat people with compassion, consideration, and respect. We also use this philosophy to guide which LASIK technology we choose for our patients - you would only want the best for your family! We want your visit and experience to be among the best you have ever had.
2. We use the best LASIK technology for the best results
 We will never compromise on the LASIK technology we use. We believe you have only two eyes and deserve the best for them. LASIK technology is quickly advancing and we strive to be on the cutting edge. It is often tempting for other San Diego LASIK surgeons to use cheaper LASIK technologies to increase their profits. Instead of worrying about our profit margins, it is more important for us that you do well after your LASIK surgery in San Diego. We believe in using Advanced Custom LASIK with the Industry leader VISX Star 4 CustomVue System with Iris Registration. We also believe in the "All Laser LASIK" method with the Intralase laser for our LASIK patients in San Diego. The San Diego LASIK Institute uses the same Intralase and VISX CustomVue LASIK lasers that treat NASA pilots.
3. We are not a San Diego LASIK factory, every surgery should be a work of art
 Dr. Pham is experienced and skilled in bladeless LASIK in San Diego. He is a LASIK surgeon that believes that every surgery should be a work of art. With us, every patient and every surgery is treated like it's the only surgery of the day. We realize it's a one-time surgery for you. Many San Diego LASIK centers have a factory mentality and seek to do as many operations as they can as fast as possible. Ours is the opposite; we will never rush you or take any shortcuts during your LASIK eye surgery in San Diego. Just because McDonald's serves the most hamburgers, it does not serve the best hamburgers!
4. All Laser Intralase Method - All Laser and No Razor
 The development of the Intralase laser was a major surgical milestone in laser vision correction. Instead of using a microkeratome (razor) for the creation of a flap, we are now able to use a laser to make the flap. This gives the LASIK surgeon incredible flexibility and accuracy in the creation of the flap. It also allows a thinner LASIK flap to be made and saves you more corneal tissue. The San Diego LASIK Institute's use of this technology results in safer laser eye surgery in San Diego with faster healing and less scar tissue.
5. Advanced Custom Treatments with Iris Registration
 Your eye is unique. In order to eliminate your eyes irregularities and aberrations, custom LASIK surgery makes an individual wavefront map of your eye. Think of this custom LASIK wavefront map as a "fingerprint" of your eye. The laser then treats all of the unique irregularities of your eye. Advanced custom LASIK also accounts for your eye's potential rotation during surgery. It registers your iris to compensate for any rotation during surgery. Advanced custom LASIK with iris registration is offered at the San Diego LASIK Institute.
Dr. Pham is a certified iLASIK surgeon. iLASIK is the pinnacle of LASIK technology. It combines the benefits of all laser Intralase method LASIK and advanced custom LASIK with iris registration.
6. Affordability - 0% Financing
 LASIK is not just for the rich and famous. We believe everyone should be able to have LASIK in San Diego. This is where our financing programs come in. These programs have made the cost of LASIK in San Diego affordable for over 94% of our patients. We offer different 0% financing, 0% down, and 0% plans to accommodate everyone. We also continually strive to have the lowest prices and best value for our technology. We constantly survey other San Diego LASIK practices to know our competitors' rates.
7. No Office Wait Times, Your Convenience Not Ours! Saturday Appointments and Surgery Times Available
 We will do everything in our power to make your visit as pleasant as possible. Nobody wants to spend all day in a doctor's office. We often have no office wait times due to our goal. However, if you ever have to wait more than 10 minutes we will make it up to you!
In addition, we are one of the few LASIK Surgery centers in San Diego to offer Saturday LASIK Surgery days and appointments.
8. Location, Location, Location
 We are conveniently located in the heart of mission valley and we are near all of the major freeways. We are located near the 8, 163, 805, 15, and 5 freeways. Whether you are coming from the East, West, South, or North we should be a short drive for you for your LASIK surgery. We also offer convenient and flexible office hours to help you avoid traffic times.
9. We Offer More than LASIK Surgery
 Vision correction includes more options than LASIK. Although LASIK is a great treatment for the majority, some people may require different treatment options. Our advantage is that we can offer every type of technology and are not locked into just one. This increased flexibility allows us to make better decisions regarding your vision correction. If you go to a place that only offers LASIK, LASIK is the only thing that may be offered to you when there may be other technologies that help you better. LASIK, All laser LASIK, PRK, the implantable contact lens, and multifocal lenses are just some of the technologies Dr. Pham has expertise in.
10. Your San Diego LASIK Surgeon Does all of your Examination - Every Detail is Noticed
 We take no shortcuts. Dr. Pham does all of your examination and personally reviews your information. He performs your refractions on up to three separate occasions prior to your surgery. We are not a factory and Dr. Pham believes that by doing the examination himself and not delegating it to other professionals, he is able to offer you the best results.
11. No Marketing Gimmicks or Tiered Price Schemes
We do not do the bait and switch type of marketing. Some LASIK practices in San Diego may offer "$299" LASIK. After you come and spend nearly 2 hours with an extensive dilated examination, you may find many hidden fees that quickly increase the cost of the procedure. We are hoping to perform a life changing LASIK surgery for you and not sell you a used car. We are honest, upfront, and we never pressure you. Our job is to educate you so that you can make an informed decision about LASIK surgery in San Diego. We do shop the competition and believe we have the lowest prices and best value for our technology.
12. A San Diego Based LASIK Surgeon - 24 Hour Direct Access to Dr. Pham
 Some LASIK surgeons who perform LASIK in San Diego do not live in San Diego. They may travel or fly to San Diego to do their surgery only. Dr. Pham lives in central San Diego and Dr. Pham is available 24 hours/7 days a week for you. He will never mind taking your calls or coming in after hours for you. He would rather you call him to let him know how you are doing. He is flexible and will often arrange a LASIK surgery schedule convenient for you.
13. All inclusive treatment related to LASIK for 1 Year Including Enhancements - FREE Punctal Plugs
 We want your LASIK surgery in San Diego, CA to be like an all inclusive resort vacation. Everything related to your LASIK surgery should be included in your initial fee. Your initial treatment fees contain all the costs for your treatment related to your LASIK for 1 year. This includes any enhancements you may need or punctal plugs. Some patients may get dry eyes after LASIK surgery. This tends to heal for most people by the third to six months. However, you may need punctal plugs which are devices that help maintain the moisture around your eyes during this period. Some practices can charge upwards of $250 for each punctal plug and up to $1000 for all 4 punctal plugs. We do not charge for punctal plugs after LASIK surgery at the San Diego LASIK Institute and insert them for free. There are no hidden fees for punctal plugs or dry eye treatments.
