So I’m looking for a Lasik doc, and the thing I keep hearing is “don’t just go to someone who advertises; look for a reference from someone you know.”

Except that I don’t personally know a single person that has had this done. Does anyone know of anyplace that compiles doctor recommendations or the like?

(and I’m in Orlando, if anyone nearby can make a specific recommendation.)

Shameless bump.
