Patient Testimonials
"I have been going to North Idaho Eye Institute for years. It's always a good experience. I just had double cataract surgery this month and it went perfectly! So excited to be able to see well again. Dr. Drew Thomas was so caring, taking the time to really listen. Their OR/pre-op staff have everything down to a science. I never felt rushed or like I was just another surgery that day. My experience couldn't have been any better. I knew I was in good hands."

"I had a great experience at North Idaho Eye Institute! I had PRK eye laser surgery done last week, and in total I have had about a half a dozen appointments there and so have met many staff members, all who were friendly and professional. Dr Smith and Elisha were especially wonderful to work with, they were so knowledgeable and kind. I'm so glad I had my surgery done here, I can't imagine having gone anywhere else. 100% recommend!!!"

"I had Lasik surgery with Dr Smith and it was the best thing I ever decided to do. Dr Smith took great care of me, explaining everything as the process went along and always making sure I was comfortable with my decision. The staff in clinic and in the surgery center were amazing as well, making sure I was well cared for. Having the freedom of such clear vision now is so incredible! I wish I had done it sooner!"
