Dr. Jerreyll Jackson - LASIK Specialist
Dr. Jackson has built his reputation as one of the premiere LASIK surgeons in New York the old fashioned way; one patient at a time. His approach to medicine and patient care are what set him apart. This philosophy starts with the highest investment in technology and the facility that houses that technology. But technology is only as good as the surgeon using it. That's why Dr. Jackson prides himself on having the strictest qualifications for determining if someone is a candidate for LASIK eye surgery. Dr. Jackson understands that fear is what holds people back from there dream of waking up with clear LASIK vision. Dr. Jackson's patients appreciate that fact and as a result, refer friends and family members. Dr. Jackson's long history as a leader in the LASIK field began in Chicago. After completing a successful fellowship in Chicago, he decided to bring his expertise to New York City where he joined the largest LASIK practice in the tri-state area. After performing thousands of successful procedures and leading the way for additional growth, Dr. Jackson decided to offer his LASIK services to the greater New York area from his own facility. Today Dr. Jackson is the medical director of Nuvision Medicenters, the leader in innovation for the advancement of laser eye surgery. Dr. Jackson's reputation for innovation was cemented last summer with the opening of Nuvision's state-of-the-art LASIK facilities, situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan and Connecticut. Surgical skill and advanced technology are only meaningful when a complete evaluation reveals a solid safety profile. My formula for success starts with selecting the most qualified patients for LASIK. _________________________________________________________________________ |
