Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Once I was blind, but now I can see.
Dr Lusk was a storehouse of knowledge and answered all my questions. I told him I could not ever see normally without contact lenses or glasses, and that goes back over 80 years. All Dr. Lusk’s staff members were totally professional and skilled.

Total Satisfaction
After consultation with surgeon and team , I chose the Multifocal Vision Package. Dr. James performed my surgery and I am very pleased. I no longer wear reading glasses and have not experienced any issues. Procedure was short and painless! DR. JAMES and his ENTIRE STAFF/ TEAM were great. Again, I would highly recommend Lusk Eye Specialists. God bless!!! Joyce, Shreveport

Dr. James Lusk performed my cataract surgery during the month of July 2020, implanting astigmatism correcting lenses in both eyes. In spite of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, I felt confident that all necessary precautions were being taken to protect my health. I have needed corrective lenses for the past 63 years, but today, I am able to see clearly without glasses. I do require readers for the smallest print, but I oftentimes need no help to read at all. I couldn’t be happier with my cataract Surgery outcome, and I highly recommend Lusk Eye Specialists to others.

I had Lasik 15 years ago and did great. Needed a adjustment in one eye so i went back to Dr. James Lusk and had PRK Laser Vision Correction. I was 20/80 before surgery and now I am 20/25. Great experience.

Dr. Lusk did two Pterygium surgeries and two cataract surgeries on my eyes, and he did a fabulous job. He is a very professional doctor, as well as a caring one. He made me feel at ease during and after my surgeries (I was so scared). I can see so much better now thanks to him, and his staff is wonderful as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing cataract surgery, pterygium removals, or any type eye problems. He is the best there is in my book.

Dr. Lusk has done cataract surgery on my parents, my grandmother, and my aunt. My husband also had LASIK with Dr. Jeff Lusk. I wouldn't trust any other group of doctors with my family's eye care. My son sees Dr. Walker there for his contacts as well. The staff are always friendly and I have had good experiences everytime I am there with my family.

Dr. James Lusk did Verisyse vision correction surgery on my eyes 7 years ago in 2012. My vision was so bad that I wasn't a candidate for Lasik, but he did a newer surgery that implanted a lens in my iris. He was very compassionate and was dedicated to making sure I had the best treatment available. I have been out of glasses for 7 years now and loooove it! Over the years I have used several doctors at Lusk Eye and have always had the absolute best care. I only accept the best in medical care available for my family, and Lusk Eye Specialists is the best in eye care. I wouldn't trust anyone else.
