I was extremely nervous after finally making the decision to get LASIK. I've heard so many good things about Dr. Hyver and the team so I decided to go with them. I am so glad I did because they were amazing. From consultation, to pre-operative visit and surgery, everyone was just so nice. I was explained in great detail what to expect on the day of surgery so there were absolutely no surprises. The surgery was quick and painless. It was such a great experience! Thank you Scott Hyver and team!

I got Monovision LASIK done on the 27th of Dec. with Dr. Hyver and I am happy with the results beyond my expectations. Going into it I knew this was a well established procedure and it would be fine, but knowing it from what I've read and actually experiencing the difference now that it's been done still blows my mind. I actually didn't even know about Monovision until I went in and had my consultation.
I'm so glad I did it. For those who don't know, it's basically the best of both worlds. My distance vision is excellent, and my near vision is also excellent. No need for reading glasses! From the initial consultation, to the procedure itself, to the follow up afterwards, Dr. Hyver and his team were fantastic. True professionals in every regard. I did a bit of research on the doctors near me who could perform the operation, as well as the typical cost to expect, and I'm so glad I chose Dr. Hyver.
The price was very reasonable, and Dr. Hyvers credentials speak for themself. For anyone who's thinking about this, all I can say is do it. Go have the consultation, which costs nothing, and get ready to have your life changed.

I was initially nervous to get a LASIK procedure until I met Dr. Hyver and his excellent staff. His practice is so well organized and made the whole process a breeze. The actual procedure went by in a flash pain-free and immediately saw the results in my vision. I was able to see 20-20 the next day. Dr. Hyver is a game changer! Thank you!

10 STARS! The BEST decision I've ever made was to get my LASIK eye surgery with Dr. Hyver. I had my surgery in Feb 2021, and it's now mid-May 2021. Every interaction has been a perfect example of great service and care. I thought getting lasers to my eyeballs would be terrifying, but it was the greatest pain-free procedure I'll ever have. It's really easy to get in contact with the office through phone and emailing the staff person in charge of scheduling was very easy and she responds quickly. CONSULTATION: easy to schedule & was only a week or two away, all staff was friendly & behaving in a COVID-safe manner, every test they ran on my eyes was explained thoroughly.
Immediately after the tests were done they got me in contact with the staff person in charge of scheduling and payment (Patient Counselor) as well as got me in contact with Dr. Hyver himself to describe the entire process and procedure with me. The Patient Counselor allowed me all the time I needed to discuss everything and ask questions and they gave me paperwork explaining everything.
They immediately sent me an invoice after I decided to do the procedure and began scheduling the procedure. There is a payment plan option, but I didn't use that. THE SURGERY: I was in and out in less than hour and I was able to walk out perfectly fine. It didn't feel rushed at all, its just that quick of a procedure. The surgery was absolutely painless. I'm still amazed!
They always checked to make sure I was feeling okay and their professionalism was outstanding. Immediately after I got up from the surgery bed I noticed an improvement in my vision. The instructions they give for post-surgery care was amazing and worked just like they said it would. My eyes only slightly burned for about 2.5 hours after surgery (they told me they'd burn for 3-4 hrs), and the burning just felt like I was cutting onions (which is exactly what they said it would feel like!).
Four hours after my surgery my eyes felt great and my vision was amazing. The day after when I went in for my post-op appointment, my vision tested at 20/20. If I have any questions or concerns and at any time regarding my surgery or my eyes, I know I can call the office, and i know I have the number because they gave it to me repeatedly. If I ever feel like my eyesight is getting worse, all I have to do is call and they can give me a vision exam and do another LASIK procedure for free. Having eyes that function the way they're intended to is incredible.
Prior to the surgery my vision was so poor that I wouldn't be able to work or drive without corrective lenses. Now I don't have to carry around my glasses or extra contacts in case something happens to the contacts in my eyes. I don't have to have my glasses on my nightstand when I go to bed in case there's an emergency in the middle of the night. It's so freeing!

Best thing I've ever done for myself! I had PRK in November 2020 and the whole process was very streamlined, professional, and pleasant. Making appointments was easy even with covid, and they followed up with me even when I forgot my phone appointment! The process was painless, they were great with numbing drops and prep, they really have their ducks in a row with getting the prescriptions in hand and telling you what to do ahead of time. Dr. Hyver does the actual procedure and he's a pro, we were done in less than eight minutes I think.
The recovery was not a problem, with PRK it takes longer than lasik but it wasn't bad. First day was blurry but no pain, and then days 2-3 were light sensitive and irritated, I sat in a dark room with a blanket and some audiobooks--which is a vacation for me so besides being slightly uncomfortable I was very happy. I babied myself for the first week and by about a week out I felt comfortable enough (vision quality that is, there was no pain by day 4) to drive.
By a week and a half to two weeks my vision was perfect! It has been ever since. I had worn glasses since I was twelve and now I'm free! Glasses weren't a big deal but when you can experience life without them you'll be on cloud nine. For anyone taking the leap go for it! They are amazing!

I always wanted to do LASIK, but there was always another excuse for not doing it - the money, what if something goes wrong, etc etc etc. I had a noncommittal consultation, and was truly floored at the stellar service. They were not forceful in any way - rather, their professionalism, extreme efficiency, and most importantly the stunningly welcoming and friendly environment were enough to make me take the leap of faith. Getting LASIK done - and by the Scott Huyver Vision family - was the best decision I've ever made.
That first time you wake up and can see the world is a life-changing experience (I've had poor vision since I was 4). There is no way to express my gratitude for this exceptional team (Dr. Huyver, Dr. Lin, Melissa, and the rest of the team are true superstars!), and I fully 100% recommend. 5 stars is not enough for them!

Did not have surgery. Would like to commend Dr. Hyver & his staff for the thorough evaluation of what would be best for me. My eyes were healthy for Lasik but after testing out the contact lenses & me needing prisms, also the need for me to read up close medication vials as a Registered nurse it was determined it would be better for me to stay "near sighted " & use glasses for distance.
Pretty bummed about it but thankful to Dr Hyver & his staff for exhausting all avenues to come to a conclusive decision. Super careful with covid precautions. Highly recommend. But do your due diligence too.

I am officially 4 weeks post op from my PRK procedure so I thought I should write my review now! First off, I want to say I'm extremely happy I chose Dr. Scott Hyver! I went in for a consultation in July, and ended up making my appointment that day because I knew they were the right fit for me. After numerous tests, they explained I didn't qualify for Lasik, but I was a candidate for PRK.
Never heard of PRK so I was extremely nervous, and Google didn't help my nerves, but now at 4 weeks post op, I can confidently say it's the best thing I ever did for myself. I can't believe I wake up and can actually see! As for Dr. Scott Hyver & his staff, they are all amazing. They are so kind and helpful. I'm the type of person that worries about every little thing. I've emailed and called them countless times over the smallest things and they never acted annoyed, but instead talked me through my nerves and reassured me everything is okay. I've even called Dr. Scott Hyver himself on non business days and he had no problem talking me through the issue. Feel free to message me for any questions, but if you are on Yelp searching for the right place to have your LASIK, just stop right here and call this office!

I had a great experience at Dr. Hyver's. My surgery went well and post op appointments did too. The team is very friendly knowledgeable and always ready and willing to answer any questions and or concerns. Dr. Hyver is very friendly and explained both the outcome and the procedure thoroughly. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! If you are looking to get Lasik this is the place. They have 3 different office locations and are super flexible!

This review is long overdue, but I wanted to make sure the results were consistent, and my eyes healed appropriately from the surgery. I had LASIK surgery done by Dr. Hyver in January 2018 (a little over a year ago), and it's been life changing! I highly recommend having a consultation and consider the surgery. My vision has been better than 20/20 and I am so happy with my results.
The service Dr. Hyver and his team provided was knowledgeable, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. The staff answered all my questions and were thorough in the initial free evaluation/consultation. Throughout the surgery and post recovery, they monitored and made sure my eyes healed and recovered safely. I am so pleased, and highly recommend Dr. Hyver and his team.

I've worn glasses since high school and had a -3.00 prescription when I got Lasik in November 2018. It was the craziest thing when I woke up the next morning with 20/15 vision (better than 20/20). I would highly recommend getting lasik with Dr. Hyver. Seriously, it's the best thing I've ever done. While it was pricey; I would never trust a discount dr. with my eyes.
While I did not love the actual lasik process (it didn't hurt, it was definitely all mental!); Dr. Hyver and his team were incredibly helpful through the whole process. The office is clean and professional and all of his staff were kind and knowledgable.

I have been contemplating Lasik for years. I was hesitant because of the cost, but Scott Hyper offers such a great payment plan. The consultation was extremely thorough which I appreciated. I qualified and once I did I believe I emailed poor Melissa J a million questions. I literally emailed her twice a week or more with questions. She never got tired of answering me and gave me great clarification.
The day of the surgery doctor Scott Hyver walked me through every step of the process so I was never worried that something was going wrong. It went my so quickly. Now I can see! I had negative 4 each eye and now I'm 20/20! Haven't been that vision since I was little, and barley any dryness. They are very accommodating and sweet and professional. I recommend.

I had LASIK a month ago and am quite pleased. From the consultation to the exams, every staff member was personable and professional. They were always patient and willing to answer any question I had. I can't remember a time where I could wake up and see everything clearly, and now I'm seeing better than 20/20! It's not only remarkable, but emotional for me.
My only advice would be if they offer you a sedative, take it! I wish I would have taken 2! Of course, my wonderful husband decided to remind me of the movie "Fire in the Sky" right before my procedure so my anxiety kicked into overdrive. For anyone whose seen that movie, you know the scene I'm talking about. If you're considering LASIK, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Hyver and his entire staff.

Just got my eyes did and I love 'em! Everything went absolutely perfect. No side effects, no complications. and now no more contacts. Ever. I did tons of research and asked for input from several people who've gotten it done. I decided on Hyver, knowing its is on the pricier side, but worth it. + Provides complimentary touch-ups - for as long as they are in practice just in case your vision does change.
Plus Hyver is definitely on the youngish side so I expect this awesome "warranty" to last a while. + Amazing service - the team travels between three locations just to make it easier for their customers. There's several appointments pre and post surgery, and everything from booking to email reminders to actually starting on time has been nothing but smooth sailing.
Even though they probably answer the same question ten times a day, they always explain in detail with a patient smile. + Lasik specialists - which not only means they'll get the actual surgery done right, but they've evaluated all sorts of eyes and can anticipate all sorts of questions and have years of experience in all sorts of situations.
They are not a regular eye doctor, but a team that really knows what they're doing. + Surgery day - definitely a little scary. But Hyver talked me through every step, with such reassuring confidence and it was over before I knew it. His voice leading the way when the world is a blur. that makes all the difference between a panic attack and a great surgery.
If you plan it around dec/jan, you can use two years worth of FSA ($5k total) to save alot of money. For those of you that are still on the fence about getting Lasik. then this review is the sign that you should just go DO IT!

I went in for a consult April 12th. They were very thorough and I was there for over two hours but the outcome was worth it. My eyes are horrible. I got my first pair of glasses at age 5 and my first contacts at age 12. I have a astigmatism in both eyes and an extremely high prescription. I did not think lasiks would even be an option but I figured it couldn't hurt to be evaluated.
They did extensive evaluations, not just to check my prescription strength but also to check the overall health and composition of my eyes to make sure I would be a good candidate. This actually really put me at ease. They were so thorough and communicated each step with me along the way. I dealt the most with Dr. Quan and Jessica. They were patient, professional and informative. Dr Hyver and his staff are meticulous and absolutely amazing!
My procedure was last Tuesday and my eye are still healing but the results have been great and so far are leaps and bounds beyond what I had expected. I went in at 4:15 Tuesday afternoon and was home by 5:30. They gave me very specific and easy to follow instructions for aftercare. I was able to drive myself to the post op the very next day.in fact.
I was back at work at 7am Wed morning and could see. I experienced very little scratchiness in my eyes and honestly I am still in shock at how smooth and how well the whole process went. If you are thinking about having this procedure done.contact Dr Hyver. He has three offices in the Bay area too so you're bound to be near one of them : This is hands down one of the best things I've done!
