While we're not located in Norwood Park, our downtown Chicago location is easily accessible. As you make your way to our office at 25 E Washington St, Suite 606, you'll find yourself in the vibrant heart of the city.
Our clinic is nestled among Chicago's iconic skyscrapers, just steps away from Millennium Park and the bustling Magnificent Mile. The surrounding area is a testament to Chicago's architectural prowess, with historic buildings like the Chicago Cultural Center and modern marvels like the Cloud Gate sculpture ("The Bean") nearby.

Here's how to reach us from Norwood Park:
Pro tip: If you're traveling during rush hour, consider leaving a bit earlier. Traffic can be heavy on the Kennedy, especially approaching downtown.
If driving isn't your preferred option, consider these alternatives:
CTA Blue Line: Board at Jefferson Park Transit Center and exit at Washington station
Metra: Take the Union Pacific Northwest line from Norwood Park station to Ogilvie Transportation Center, then a short bus or taxi ride to our office

For Norwood Park residents who commute to downtown Chicago daily, LASIK can be a game-changer. You'll enjoy clearer vision for your commute, whether you're driving on the Kennedy or taking the CTA. Post-surgery, we recommend taking a day off work to rest. Consider scheduling your procedure on a Friday to give yourself the weekend to recover before returning to your daily routine.
The LASIK procedure itself typically takes only about 15-20 minutes for both eyes. However, plan to be at our downtown Chicago office for about 2-3 hours on the day of your surgery. This allows time for pre-operative preparations and post-operative instructions. (1) Given the travel time from Norwood Park, we recommend setting aside a full day for your procedure.
While most insurance plans consider LASIK an elective procedure and don't cover it, some Chicago-based companies offer vision plans that provide discounts on LASIK. We also offer financing options to make LASIK more accessible for our Norwood Park patients. During your consultation, we'll review all your payment options to find a solution that fits your budget.
