 “After asking around about LASIK, I kept hearing about Dr. Steve Updegraff. Everyone I spoke to about him kept saying things like "the best" and how smooth the whole procedure was. After making a call, the staff at Updegraff Vision took over. I was able to fly direct in to St Pete and once I hit the ground, everything was taken care of... transportation, hotels, everything. The entire trip was simple and easy! Prior to my LASIK procedure with Dr. Updegraff, I had been using contacts and glasses for a total of about 32 years of my life. After the LASIK surgery, I was seeing better than I ever have before, without the eye strain and irritation that comes from using contacts in outdoor environments. As a diver, fisherman and pilot, the clarity and vision that LASIK with Dr. Updegraff has allowed me has really opened the world in a lot of ways. I see more fish, can film underwater and fly safer with zero strain and headaches. I wish I would have done this years ago!” |

 “Imagine what it's like to have a contact lens pop out of your eye on a football field. Dr. Updegraff is my contact lens solution. I wouldn't trust my eyes to just anyone, and you shouldn't either.” |

 “Two minutes after my surgery, I was reading 20/15 without glasses or contacts or anything. I'd thought about having the procedure for some time, and even booked the surgery elsewhere but cancelled. Dr. Updegraff's exceptional qualifications gave me confidence. Now, seeing is a real kick.” -Mark Royals, punter, retired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers |

 “The Updegraff Difference has changed my view of everything and everyone around me. One of my proudest moments after LASIK surgery was gathering all my contact lens kits, solutions, and eye drops, and throwing them into the trash! And, all of the years of scratched and ulcerated corneas are now a thing of the past. I now have 20/20 vision, thanks to the LASIK guy, Dr. Steve Updegraff, at Updegraff Vision!” -Bobby Goldsboro, singer |

 “Having your glasses fogged up while driving a car that can run 168 MPH is pretty scary. The day after LASIK surgery, my dependence on glasses was history and I now enjoy life without them. It's great to now have unrestricted vision and not have to worry about my glasses fogging up during the crucial rounds of elimination.” -Larry Ericksmoen, national drag racer |

 “Dr. Updegraff is the most qualified surgeon in the Tampa Bay area. His experience and precision has given me 20/15 vision in my right eye and 20/10 in my left eye. My new vision is amazing, I feel so free and natural out on the water. The days of fighting my glasses instead of the fish are a thing of the past, thanks to Dr. Updegraff.” -Captain Eric Shapiro, Left Coast Fishing |

 “The best thing about Updegraff Vision is that they explain the whole way through what’s going to happen and what to expect. Being led through the LASIK procedure and having Dr. Updegraff explain it, made everything very easy. There was no fear of the unknown.” -Nigel Hook, driver, APBA Racing |

"I have been amazed by the results from LASIK. My vision is stronger than ever, and I'm no longer bothered by fatigue and irritation from extensive use of contacts. I thank Dr. Updegraff and his entire staff for the smoothest and easiest procedure imaginable. They exceeded all of my lofty expectations.” “When Steve first introduced us to LASIK in 1995, I was very interested. But, in my field excellent vision is critical. I wanted to see an excellent track record with long-term follow-up. With 30,000 procedures in 11+ years, we have that. We are very fortunate to have a pioneer in the LASIK procedure with unmatched expertise. More importantly, Steve is a consummate professional. His personality, compassion, ethics, intelligence, judgment, and attention to detail are outstanding. As a physician I understand the importance of these qualities and have a great respect for and confidence in Steve. In short, he is a doctor’s doctor and I would not have had LASIK performed by anyone else. With great thanks to Steve and entire staff,” “I originally went elsewhere to have the procedure, but had some problems. When I went back for my check-up, the optometrist didn't even know what was wrong. I knew that I had to see the best, and that's when I went to Dr. Updegraff. When I got to Updegraff Vision they had all of the answers. Dr. Updegraff and his caring staff stayed three extra hours to correct my vision. Thank you for everything!” "I waited many years to explore the possibility of LASIK, but I wish I hadn’t. My entire experience has been terrific. The staff at Updegraff Vision was courteous, professional, prompt, and efficient. The surgery was simple and I could see right away! Dr. Updegraff inspires great confidence, and for good reason. " “As an officer in the Marine Corps, I can't be worried about glasses or contacts in the field. I wanted to go to one of the best for my surgery. My new vision is great and now I don't have to be concerned with my eyes and I can concentrate more on the job. Thank you so much.” "After doing the research and then speaking with Dr. Updegraff, it quickly became apparent in my mind that he was the most qualified to perform the LASIK procedure on me. It was one of the best decisions that I have ever made." “I never even imagined life without glasses, but that’s what I’ve had for more than two years, thanks to Dr. Updegraff. No bad headaches from forgetting my glasses, no hassles running in the rain, and best of all, I get a clear, crisp view of the stars through my new telescope!” “As a contact lens wearer for many years, on occasion I would fall asleep with them in and wake up thinking… it’s either a miracle, or I fell asleep with my contacts in! Now I wake up every morning with a smile, as I can see clear across the room. I see as well today as I did with my contacts in, only I never have to take them out again! My world is now sharp, clear, and colorful, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I am absolutely thrilled! I would highly recommend all-laser LASIK with Dr. Updegraff. I would not have entrusted my vision to anyone else.” “I’ve worn glasses and contacts since I was six years old. I was going to have the surgery in Canada or Chicago, until I heard about Dr. Updegraff. His credentials and experience go unmatched. The surgery went great, and the next morning I could read the alarm clock. I was so happy I started to cry! Thank you, Dr. Updegraff, for the years of worry- and hassle-free vision.” "After performing extensive research on the various LASIK procedures and those performing them, I decided to seek a consultation with Dr. Updegraff. From the first visit throughout all aspects of the surgery, he and his staff exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism and courteousness is second to none. Most importantly, the results of my surgery have been fantastic. During the post-op exam, being able to read at the 20/15 level was very exciting. Thanks to Dr. Updegraff and his staff." "This is the best present I ever gave myself!!" "My bride-to-be is more beautiful than ever. I can’t wait to watch her come down the aisle with my new eyes!” “I have worn contacts and glasses for 15 years and have hassled with them since. Growing up, it was very difficult with sports and in college, I always had to have backups when at games. Now I have the freedom back I always missed and I feel like a 25-year-old little kid. I can’t wait to get back on the field and play with my new and better vision.” “Dr. Updegraff and his staff are some of the most professional people I have ever met. My initial consultation was about 2 hours, I felt like I was there for 5 minutes! I know it’s surgery but it’s something everyone needs to experience. Kudos to the surgical staff the day of surgery for making me feel so cared for. Thanks again for a job well done!” “Updegraff Vision is a well-oiled machine; I appreciate their organization and professionalism. Thank you.” |
