Friendly staff, talked over all the different options pros cons and helped me make the right decision. Extremely professional an very glad with the choice and results (only second day after surgery) to me this will be a pivotal time for my personal future and am happy with the results so far.
Thanks to the surgeon and staff.

I had my Lasik procedure last week and it has been life changing. All of the staff were lovely and I am especially grateful to the nurse who rubbed my shoulder to help calm my nerves. I wish I had done it sooner!
11 December 2023 18:28
Very smooth from consultation to post op! Welcoming atmosphere and I felt that I was in good hands.
05 December 2023 22:04
I have had both my cataracts removed at TLC laser Eye centre in Waterloo and was very impressed with the timely service and great results. I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes.
22 November 2023 5:11
I would highly recommend TLC for LASIK. All of the staff members were very kind and thorough and very efficient. Overall I had a great experience
28 October 2023 16:36
I had LASIK done here earlier in the week and had a lovely experience. The staff are helpful and friendly, and answered all my questions whenever I had them. They were calming throughout the procedure itself, and the nurses were helped me understand the rationale behind certain post procedure activities (like why we don’t stare at screens) that are helping with my recovery. I highly recommend TLC if you’re interested in eye surgery!

Amazing experience with Lasik here. If I could score higher than 5 stars I would. Very professional and friendly (and witnessed many of them still being so while dealing with difficult clients!) and made the experience as calming and comfortable as it could possibly be.

The surgery itself is discomforting, but that’s just how it is… it’s surgery after all! It’s so quick there’s only a short amount of discomfort to put up with before it’s over. The surgeon informed me what he’d be doing each step of the way and what I might feel/see. One of the nurses/techs also had her hand on my shoulder during the surgery to help me relax, and spoke gently to me throughout—that was something I wanted to note, as that seemed above and beyond to me. I didn’t get her name, but I want to thank her for that?

All brochures and paperwork had all the information needed to know, including side effects and possible complications, so anyone saying they had no idea of complications or surgery procedure etc clearly didn’t pay attention to what they were given or do any research themselves (which, in my opinion, is what a responsible person should do). Never once did I feel wanting for information, they answered any and all questions before I even needed to ask them.

11/10 would recommend (and have!)
17 August 2023 21:19
They understood how anxious I was and were very accommodating. Efficient and quick with the actual surgery, and was told what to expect afterwards.

I had an excellent experience at TLC for my laser eye surgery. I recommend taking Tylenol before the surgery, after the surgery and before you go to bed on the first night to help with the pain and to also do the drops every single hour the first day! I can finally see after wearing glasses and contacts for the last 7 years. All of the staff at TLC make the experience very relaxing and I felt very comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get rid of their glasses!
28 June 2023 0:13
The staff are all so friendly, so helpful, so patient, so knowledgeable and so reassuring. Thank you.
10 June 2023 17:52
Small cramped waiting room, ruthlessly efficient, good staff but they're worked to the bone on metrics and KPIs. Compared to other similar clinics they've fallen behind a bit in amenities and comfort (Oakville location).
02 June 2023 9:37
Had lasik done in both eyes and have only good things to say about the entire experience! The receptionists were amazing to speak to and so friendly. There were very minimal wait times. As for the procedure process itself, Megan was so friendly and helpful to get me ready. Dr McCuaig kept things light, was very informative of what he was doing and what was going on. Every one in the room during the procedure was lovely and very reassuring. By the next morning, I felt 0 symptoms and had 20/20 vision according to my optometrist. I would recommend TLC Eye Centres and Dr McCuaig to anyone considering getting Lasik done!
23 May 2023 16:42
My experience at TLC Waterloo was great. Excellent quality of care and everyone was very kind and supportive.
22 May 2023 23:59
I was very impressed with the level of professionalism. My appointments we’re always on time. I was very satisfied with the results and would highly recommend TLC.
05 May 2023 17:26
The staff there are all so friendly and kind. Sheila at the front desk was the absolute best, she was so helpful - even directing people over the phone and meeting them outside when they were distressed. She made people feel relaxed and well cared for. She made my time there enjoyable.
03 May 2023 3:23
Honestly just smooth and painless, outstanding customer service and the procedure was same day and I felt taken care of should I need help during the recovery! So happy with my decision!
24 April 2023 23:47
Dr. Jellie and the whole team at TLC were very reassuring, calming, and made the whole Lasik procedure quick and pain free. I would highly recommend the team here, their experience shows.
12 April 2023 2:15
Can't say enough good things about this place. Efficient with your time there but, they CARE about you and take the time to explain, reassure and make sure you understand things. Wish the rest of healthcare worked like here.
03 April 2023 18:01
I had an absolutely excellent experience with the TLC center in Waterloo! The staff were caring, efficient and knowledgeable. The process and services that I received were was exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you for restoring my vision to perfect once again! It is definitely one of the most positive choices I have ever made in my life!
01 March 2023 23:44
Had a really good experience here from consultation to post-op follow up. This is a great team!
03 February 2023 15:42
Very happy with my results! Mild discomfort for the remainder of the surgery day. 20/20 vision at my 24 hr post op eye exam.
06 January 2023 2:50
All the staff were great and I was well taken care of! Very happy with my choice to go with TLC!
01 January 2023 22:50
Everyone at TLC was very helpful throughout my surgery process! I got it done right around Christmas during a snow storm and everyone was very flexible and accommodating. Definitely would recommend getting this life changing surgery done here!
28 February 2022 7:17
I had a wonderful experience getting LASIK performed on both of my eyes at TLC Waterloo. All of the doctors, nurses and professionals were wonderful and made me very comfortable getting the procedure done. As for the procedure itself, it was pain and stress free, I just took it easy and slept/relaxed the day of and the day after I had less than normal swelling and 20/20 vision. I highly recommend this clinic and I’m very excited getting used to my new eyes!
27 February 2022 15:16
From the consultation to surgery to post-op, every part of the process was comfortable and informative. I can't believe after one day, the doc told me I had 20/15 vision! I look forward to enjoying the things I love glasses free! Thanks again!:)
26 February 2022 1:08
Overall the experience was completely seamless and worth it. For those who are considering getting treatment, these are the things you can expect. You start with a free consultation which involves a few scans (very non-invasive and quick) to see if you are a suitable candidate and which procedure (LASIK or PRK) best fits your needs. For the day of the procedure, I found that if you hype it up in your mind, it will seem scarier than it really is. The entire procedure only took about 15 mins. During the process, there was little to no pain. Only mild discomfort. Post op, there was some stinging and more discomfort which I can only describe as cutting up a bunch of raw onions. Once you put in your prescribed eye drops, the discomfort subsides fairly quickly. Personally I found the entire experience efficient and the team at TLC Waterloo were amazing throughout with their communication being open and reassuring about what to expect. I couldn't be more satisfied!
06 February 2022 9:43
The staff at TLC are fantastic. They made a somewhat scary experience feel safe and comfortable. I'm really happy with the entire experience.
01 February 2022 17:13
Super comfortable atmosphere and incredible staff. Optometrists/Doctors extremely diligent throughout the process. The operation went smooth, needless to say, it was a weird experience but no pain whatsoever (just a little pressure on the eye). Could see instantly following the eye surgery. Really enjoyed the music the Doctor had playing in the background quietly. 100% would do it again. Nice to not need corrective lenses. Thank you TLC.
31 January 2022 13:30
Incredible staff! Professional, pleasant and they made me feel comfortable. I was really nervous before my procedure and they made me feel at ease. By that evening, following my procedure my vision was already clearing and at my next day follow-up appointment I could see 20/20! Such an incredible experience. I’m thrilled! Thank you!
23 January 2022 6:33
What an amazing experience. TLC was professional and friendly. I was in and out of the surgery in an hour from the time i checked in to the postop check! Getting this done was one of the best decisions I have made and TLC is highly recommended!
20 January 2022 20:13
My experience with the whole team at the TLC Eye Centre was most outstanding!
Each of them provided me with gentle and attentive advice during the pre, and post procedure.
I had 2 cataracts removed and Dr. M is fantastic. My eyes are healing well and at 70, I now have 2020 vision. God Bless them as they provide this important procedure for visual problems and challenges. Thank you to the TLC Centre.
19 January 2022 4:55
If there's zero star I will give them they are just there for the sake of money not at concerned about patients whole life after the procedure. My daughter has severe dry eyes after lasik and no body mention this complication before procedure not even during examination when she asked them about dry eyes they said no you are good candidate.good candidate for what ami

. Now they even don't bother.it has been more than 6 months and she's struggling with life. Nobody should go for this surgery
17 January 2022 0:42
Thank you to everyone at TLC, the entire process from consultation to the surgery was simple and the staff were excellent (Shoutout to Katie, Megan, and Dr. Jellie)! They answered all my questions and made the whole process an absolute breeze. The information I received was clear and thorough; you will understand the entire process and know what to expect pre, and post-op. I cannot believe I waited this long to have this surgery done! I fully recommend TLC to anyone looking to rid themselves of glasses and contacts! The results speak for themselves, I finally get to see the world in a whole new way!
15 January 2022 23:36
My wife had done her eyes here at TLC a few years ago, and being present for the procedure, I was confident in going ahead and undergoing the same procedure. I have to say, the staff here is quite remarkable. Every member of their team truly made me feel comfortable and confident about the decision to have laser eye surgery. I felt safe with the screening, social distancing, and cleanliness of the entire facility in regards to COVID-19. Obviously I went in with a few nerves, but the staff were all reassuring and confident in successfulness of the procedure. The procedure was straight forward. The entire staff is willing to answer all of your questions regarding your procedure. You’re given all the tools and resources you need post-operation to feel confident when you get home. Definitely one of the best decisions you can make if it benefits you. Thank you, TLC.
10 January 2022 20:01
TLC Laser Eye Centre Waterloo had a profound impact on my life. My Dec '21 procedure was professional and painless. My initial online consultation fully explained the entire process, and answered any other questions I had (shout-out Audrine). All of the documentation they provided beforehand was very thorough and helpful. For the procedure itself, I'm still amazed at how fast and unobtrusive it was, and how quickly I began recovering. An evening of badly-watering eyes and some serious light sensitivity was well worth it when I woke up the next morning and literally saw the world in a different way. I can watch TV without looking for glasses, drive at night without headlight auras, and never fall asleep without taking out my contacts. I'm really, really glad I decided to finally get Lasik. Thanks, TLC Waterloo.
08 January 2022 4:46
Everyone at TLC was very kind and informative throughout the entire process and made me feel very comfortable. The actual procedure was completely painless and almost like watching a movie. Recovery has been very smooth as well and after just one day I can already see much better. Highly recommend.
06 January 2022 5:23
I recently have done my lasik surgery from TLC. My experience was good. It was very quick and I had no issues after the surgery. I would always recommend TLC for lasik.
27 December 2021 6:31
Finally deciding to write a review after a year plus. Got Lasik at this location in the summer of 2020. The staff were incredible throughout the entire process and helped ease any anxiety I had before and during the surgery. I currently have perfect vision 1 year after the surgery and my optometrist also said my eyes are perfectly healthy. Could not have asked for a better experience.
23 December 2021 16:15
5 STARS! The entire process was seamless from consultation to surgery. They answered all of my questions to put me at ease and answered lots of questions I didn't even know I had. Everyone is very professional and helpful each step of the way. And most importantly, the results are spectacular! Goodbye glasses and contacts!
22 December 2021 8:45
Friendly staff. They provide you with loads of information. Very efficient Lasik surgery. Great follow up care.
21 December 2021 3:09
I had a seamless experience with TLC Waterloo. The staff are so welcoming, kind, re-assuring, and helpful. The entire procedure from my consult to after-care was explained in great detail and I never felt rushed. Complete informed consent! Dr Jellie was wonderful and calming during the surgery and I had great results. I would highly recommend TLC Waterloo to anyone considering lasik.
13 December 2021 3:08
I was a little bit nervous about getting LASIK done but the staff at TLC were phenomenal throughout.

They explained what to do, they helped give advice about what to expect and made what could have been an anxious or tense experience very easy for me.

Thank you very much to all the staff (I don't remember everyones names but Marisa and Nick were both very kind as was the staff in reception) and the surgeon (Dr. Jellie)

I would not hesitate to recommend LASIK to any of my friends or family and I would definitely recommend TLC for anyone interested in having the very best care from staff who are kind, friendly, and who clearly want the best for all of their patients.

Thank you so much!

(I had - 4.0 prescription and had 20/20 on my followup appointment)
07 December 2021 5:33
Amazing staff at TLC Waterloo made this surgery a breeze. Extremely happy with the results and would recommend for anyone
05 December 2021 21:24
Everything was smooth, right from first consultation to the procedure itself. Everyone I met was so polite, knowledgeable and happy to clear all my doubts and queries without any rush.
A special thanks to everybody@TLC Waterloo.
29 November 2021 3:16
Tired of waiting, my optometrist recommended TLC Waterloo. Couldn’t be happier, From the initial assessment to the surgery and final follow- up appointment took less than 4 weeks. The surgery was quick and painless. The difference is amazing, and just like the others I found the staff friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous all the while having to deal with the additional stress resulting from the Covid restrictions. When it comes time to get my other eye corrected I will not hesitate to return to TLC Waterloo.
26 November 2021 23:00
Staff were incredibly professional and kind. With the nature of services provided, they are excellent explaining procedures and follow ups to help decrease patent stress and anxiety. My surgeon was beyond excellent! I am incredibly satisfied with my experience and outcome
16 November 2021 12:46
TLC was very receptive and detailed to all of my questions. The whole experience felt catered to me with authentic replies to any inquiry. On the day of my Lasik procedure everything was smooth, controlled, and went perfectly.

At 1.5 months post op I cannot recommend Lasik to friends and colleagues enough. Best money I've ever spent and would happily do it again at TLC Waterloo
15 November 2021 16:38
Got lasik eye surgery at Tlc last week and now I have perfect vision. The whole process was smooth and everyone was super friendly. The surgery was painless. It was nice to have someone talking to me to keep me calm while I wasn't able to see during the surgery. Definitely would recommend to friends and family!
08 November 2021 10:43
I CAN SEE! The process from consult call to the post-op follow up appointments was quick and smooth. I had a surgery date booked within 2 weeks of my consult call and the surgery itself only took minutes (if that). I would like to thank all the staff for keeping things on time all while keeping me informed the whole way through. Thank you again!
27 October 2021 10:28
I recently had cataract removal and lens replacement at TLC Waterloo.
All my concerns and worries were for naught.
Each and every staff member, from reception, optometrists, nurses, clerks and doctors are kind, most helpful, and very patient. I was also impressed by the overall efficiency and atmosphere of the office.
Many thanks
15 October 2021 7:35
We went to TLC for my mother's Cataract surgery. Dr Mccuaig and Dr Stephanie provided the best possible care. They explained all the options and answered all my questions and helped us to be comfortable. All the staff members were caring, helpful and professional.
12 October 2021 18:57
My experience was EXCEPTIONAL! All staff members took pride in their job and were very knowledgable and friendly. Due to dry eyes, I had to have 3 consultations, but at each consultation, the staff was reassuring, positive, and honest. There was no shortage of help, drops, or advice. Dr. Britton was real, friendly, and so supportive (even at 8am on a Saturday morning!). During surgery you could tell that the staff was confident and caring. Thank you so much for taking a minus 9 to better than 20/20! 29 years of glasses and 23 year of contacts over in minutes! I recommend TLC Waterloo to anyone considering laser eye surgery.
09 October 2021 23:01
I am very happy with TLC. I went in on a Thursday and could see right off the table, I went home and stayed in bed pretty much all day with my eyes closed. Friday was honestly perfectly fine, I didn't have any side effects of feeling gritty eyes or anything like other people had mentioned. Maybe it was my conditioning of wearing contacts for so many years and how uncomfortable they feel but no complaints.

My vision was very bad, and I went for consultations in 2010,2013 and 2016 and their lasers weren't strong enough to correct my vision, they have a new laser as of 2018 and were able to correct me. I wish I had followed up sooner! -6 near sighted with -5.75 astigmatism and I have 20/15 in my left and 20/25 in my right. I have a 20% chance of regression but they said they have enough tissue left to do an enhancement to fix it all.

The money was already worth it, waking up and seeing was my dream and it has come true.
23 September 2021 23:34
I waited a full year to leave to share my full experience. I had PRK done at this location in July 2020 and it was one of the best decisions that I ever made.

The procedure was extremely quick and painless and I noticed a massive improvement in my vision right away. For several days after the surgery I was in a lot of pain, sand under the eyelids kind of pain. I basically just slept or stayed in bed for a few days. After a few days the pain began to subside and I noticed over the next 8 months or so a very gradual improvement in my vision on top of the initial major improvement.

I just had my one year check up and am sitting at 20/15 vision. Im very happy with the procedure. If you need PRK, prepare for some initial discomfort and an ongoing improvement to your vision. I read a lot of worrying info in the early days after the procedure but if my experience is any help, it will continue to improve over the next 6-8 months. Still using eye drops in the mornings and nights but I see this as a small price to pay for hopefully a lifetime without glasses.

Thanks TLC!
03 September 2021 16:53
I couldn't be happier with my decision to go to TLC. Through the whole process the entire staff was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable.
24hrs after surgery I was able to read the 15/20 line and it's amazing to be contact free.

Choose tlc, you won't regret it
14 July 2021 19:54
Very quick and professional staff. Just got my eyes done last week. Very clean and impressive place. They have promotional financing deals and discounts throughout the year. Would highly recommend and they have partnerships with a number of trusted optometrist offices for check ups later.
04 June 2021 7:04
I just had lasik surgery on both my eyes yesterday. I chose the Waterloo location due to its great reviews from friends and online. My eye doctor also recommended this facility. The whole process from the first consult to the surgery day was so easy. The coordinator answered all my questions promptly before the surgery day. I got I meet with Dr Jellie before the surgery and ask any final questions. The staff and Dr Jellie were so awesome at talking me through the whole process which helped keep me calm. We had to drive about 1.5hrs to get home after the sugery. My eyes were quite sore and uncomfortable.a lot more than I expected I would recommend to anyone driving a longer distance to bring some Advil or Tylenol to take before driving home. My eyes are much better today and I can see so clearly! Thank you Dr Jellie and TLC staff!
29 May 2021 10:54
Safety protocols for COVID-19 were in place and I felt very safe. Staff was friendly, efficient and made me feel like I was their most important client.
05 May 2021 22:22
It's only been a day since my custom LASIK surgery but I can confidently say I am very happy with my results and how professional and efficient the staff have been. They take good care of you through the whole process and ensure you are happy and comfortable at all times. Getting a direct referral from your existing optometrist is the best approach as you get a seamless handoff of care post-op. I would definitely recommend TLC Waterloo.
27 April 2021 20:06
This was an amazing experience and the improved vision is worth every penny. They team was excellent and patient with answering questions, and during the procedure there was a very caring team which helped ease any anxiety I had about the process. I can’t believe how quickly the procedure was, and recovery has also been really smooth.
06 April 2021 15:52
I would highly recommend to anyone looking to have eye corrective surgery. They assess you to see if you are a good candidate first - and won't suggest the surgery unless you fit the criteria. The staff are professional, and organized. The day of the surgery they were compassionate and empathetic, recognizing the nervousness that I felt. Dr. Jellie was amazing! So surreal that I can see without glasses now. Thank you TLC team!
27 March 2021 18:50
I had laser surgery during the height of COVID. The protocols that are in place at TLC made you feel very safe and secure.

The staff were extremely helpful throughout the process and post-op. They did not push me in any way to have the procedure, answered all my questions and over delivered on my expectations.

Their post-op package is very thorough, uncomplicated and well organized. It is very easy to follow to ensure successful aftercare.

After shopping around I discovered that TLC is working with the latest technology. Vision is precious and you want the best outcome.

I am very happy with the results of the surgery, my vision is razor sharp! Thank you to Doctor McCuaig for an amazing job!
18 March 2021 21:45
My experience at TLC was incredible. The staff made me feel well assured. TLC made me feel like I was apart of their family. I would recommend TLC to anyone.
07 March 2021 2:43
I had both eyes done. Everything went really well from start to finish. I’m very happy with the results. Staff was super. Really liked DR Jellie.
26 February 2021 20:12
A wonderful experience! Well trained, happy team players turned an otherwise scary surgery into a very pleasant one. First class operation all the way! Thanks to Dr. Jellie, Dr. Britton and all your team.
22 February 2021 11:28
Miracle of Youthful Vision! Entire process from diagnosis to procedure was above professional, safe, and caring. Dr Brad McCuaig and his staff showed tremendous care and respect for me as a patient. Within 24 hours of the RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) procedure I had crystal clear close up vision (no more readers), and within 4-6 weeks distance vision became just as clear and no longer need glasses ever again! The RLE procedure also eliminates the need to ever have Cataract surgery in the future. If you have ever wondered, as I did, if TLC can help your vision, just book a consult appt online and they hopefully can change your life as they did mine! Thanks TLC for your gift of youthful vision!
