Dr. Akler was amazing!
I had Lasik surgery with her and I am very happy with my results after a month postop.
I was very nervous about the procedure and one of her office staff Barbara, made sure all my questions were answered and followed up with me via email and phone.

If you are thinking on getting Lasik don't think anymore as Dr. Akler has very decent prices and also offers payment options to help you get the vision you deserve. I wore glasses since I was 12 years old and now at my 30's I am enjoying the best vision I could ever wish to get!

Thank you to Dr. Akler and her staff!

Dr. Akler has been my eye doctor for several years. She is fantastic. I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes. She and her team helped me through the whole procedure answering questions and providing support.

I am a long-time patient of Dr. Michelle Akler and never considered another eye Dr. since having Lasik surgery years ago. Recently had to have cataract surgery and can't say enough good about her and the staff through the whole experience.

I was referred to Dr. Akler for cataract surgery when I was told I could not get my driver's license renewed without it. At the initial appointment, I told the staff and doctor that I was very apprehensive about the surgery. The staff were very patient and reassuring that everything would be fine. Dr. Akler explained the process and what to expect after surgery. Everything went as promised. I would highly recommend Dr. Akler to others.

A very positive experience.
Dr, Akler did my cataract surgery with toric lens replacement.
I could not have had a better experience, Dr.Akler and her entire staff, treated me beyond my expectations.
The Southgate Surgery Centers staff made the whole process run smoothly and without anything negative at all.
I highly recommend using their services.
Dr. Akler is truly amazing.

I'm so happy I did not get my lasik done back in Vegas while I was living there. I went to Lasik Eye Institute back in 2016 I believe. The guy who checked my eyes was so rude and mean. He made me feel really insecure about my eyes because I had smaller eyes than most people. (ps I'm Asian lol) he kept yelling at me telling me to open my eyes bigger and I was trying my best. He gave my hopes up saying I'm most likely will be a candidate for lasik, then doctor comes in and tell me I wasn't. And that I should look into PRK. The bad experience made me give up on lasik.
Wearing mask and glasses can get a bit annoying. And my glasses kept sliding down my face causing my ears to hurt. Plus I would like to wear my eyeliner more often without contacts. My prescription was really bad it was a -7. My cousin recommended his place and I trust his opinion. So I made my consultation! (The consultation and lasik surgery is at two different location. Consultation is in Dearborn.)
Make sure you have someone to drive you, once you arrive only you can come in, but make sure to call ahead of time. Everyone was so nice. Barb examined my eyes, also she dilated my eyes. Which lasted for a whole day, that is why you need a driver. She didn't make me feel insecure about my eyes! She just kept telling me I'm doing a great job. Barb is also the one who calls you the Friday before your lasik appt to give you the time of the arrival, I believe the surgery day is every 3rd Wednesday of the month. Thank you Barb for your patience and kindness, it really goes a long way. Then Dr.Akler came to examine my eye, oh by the way I DID NOT NEED PRK. I got approved as a candidate for lasik. Dr.Akler is so kind. The whole staff is Is amazing! I made my appointment for my lasik for October 20, 2021! (Today is the day after!! And I already can see and writing this review!)
Okay so come the Friday before my lasik date, Barb called me, she let me know my appointment time, and send in my prescription eyedrop a to my pharmacist. She gave my direction for the eye drops and to start my artificial tear eyedrops if I haven't already.
On the day of lasik, which is located in Fraser. Crystal called me in to examine my eyes, another lady came and gave me to Valium I believe that's what it's called, which is to help calm my nerves which boy did that work! I was taken to a massage chair to relax!! A massage chair!! I had taken my glasses off so from there everything was a blur. But I would love to thank DR. Akler and her team! Best team and I hope you guys stick together and grow the team! Okay so then they came and got me from the massage chair, took me to the surgery room laid me down. Dr. Akler and her team was just chit chatting and that already made me forget about my fear plus that Valium. But she also told me all the steps and when I was going to feel pressure and what she was going to do and what I should do. It was easy peasy and fast!! I really just love how great the team was and how chill they were with each other. After the surgery was down they took me into a room and Dr.Akler examined my eyes to make sure the flap was good, then they sent me home with sleeping goggles and sunglasses.
When I came home my eyes did aches a lot but once I went to sleep and woke up it was gone.
I kept my eyes closed the whole day and opened them this morning and it's just a miracle and amazing that I can see. Went to my post op I have 20/15 vision! And everything seems to be great. I come back next month to make sure everything is good.
I just cannot thank my cousin enough for recommending this place to me. Thank you Dr.Akler and ALL of her staffs! You all make a great team, I did not feel scared or nervous at all, because I do have social anxiety, but everyone made me feel comfortable. I can tell this team has trust in each other and is very well trained. I'm just so happy EVERYTHING is 100% awesome! I will be recommending this place!! It is worth the drive and money! Thank you thank you thank you!! Sorry for the long review! They really deserve an award!!
She also told me if anything felt wrong to give them a call.

Dr. Akler and her team are the absolute BEST of the best! My mother had her LASIK procedure done here 20 years ago, and she STILL has exceptional vision. My sister followed and she, too, swore by Dr. Akler’s practice. My vision was incredibly poor, and I was so desperate to stop wearing uncomfortable contact lenses or glasses that never seemed to fit my face. I had my consultation with Dr. Akler and, within a month, was scheduled for my procedure. Dr. Akler and her staff were extremely friendly and professional, and they made the entire process much more comfortable than I could’ve imagined. I was so anxious at first - the thought of something potentially going wrong or worsening my vision was terrifying. However, Dr. Akler took the time to explain the highly advanced technology behind the laser machine, and reassured me that there was virtually no way for me to screw up the procedure while on the table. After care was very easy as well. The procedure itself was so quick and painless; Dr. Akler explained everything she was doing, what I would feel, and what she expected me to do, so there were absolutely zero surprises. I just left my one-month follow-up appointment and I am so thankful to say that I now have 20/15 vision. If you’re looking for the gift of sight but you’re anxious about LASIK or unsure of who to consult with, call Dr. Akler’s office. This is, by far, the BEST investment I’ve ever made.
