“I had LASIK surgery done by Dr. Bowden and could not be happier with my overall experience and outcome. The entire Bowden team was so professional and knowledgeable which put me at ease as I approached my surgery date. Since the surgery in August, my vision has been perfect! This procedure is such a miracle and I am so blessed to have been in such great care with the Bowden team!”
