Jeffrey D. Lusk, M.D.

After watching his brother, Bryan, return to Shreveport to practice ophthalmology with their father, fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist and cataract surgeon, Jeffrey Lusk, MD, had an important decision to make: should he remain in Dallas, where he’d completed his fellowship, and work for one of the mega-ophthalmic practices in Texas? Or should he return home to Shreveport, where he grew up fishing and hunting with his family?

Well, anyone who knows ‘Dr. Jeffrey’ also knows that his heart — and hunting bow — have always been in Louisiana. Fortunately for him, his family, and the people of the Ark-La-Tex, he came home, where having another exceptionally-well trained ophthalmologist has been a blessing. In addition to being one of only a select number of glaucoma specialists in the region, Dr. Jeffrey has become an experienced cataract and LASIK surgeon.

Like his brother Bryan, Dr. Jeffrey has a passion for treating patients like family. He was thrilled to be able to help restore his father’s vision using cataract surgery, which is lovingly joked about as a “return on an investment” for Dr. James Lusk, who had years prior corrected Jeffrey and Bryan’s vision with LASIK. It’s always been about family with Dr. Jeffrey, and as his family continues to grow, it always will be.

I went in with 20/200 vision and in less than 24 hours my vision was 20/20.

KRESHA M.
MANY, LOUISIANA

I was absolutely terrified to have LASIK but Dr. Jeffrey Lusk and his staff (especially Lauren) went above and beyond to make me comfortable! The procedure was nothing like I feared! I went in with 20/200 vision and in less than 24 hours my vision was 20/20. He is thorough and I had someone explaining every detail each step of they way. I am blown away that there was NO pain, barely any discomfort and how amazing it is to be able to see! I was well-informed prior to and after the procedure. I am a nurse and would recommend this team to anyone!

Dr. Jeffrey Lusk is out there doing miracle work.

GARRETT A.
ATLANTA, TEXAS

I’ve wanted to get LASIK since I heard about it, but never could pull the trigger on it. A friend had it and went on and on about how great it was so I called and set up my consultation the next day. Lauren was awesome during the consultation and the whole LASIK process. Dr. Jeffrey Lusk is out there doing miracle work is the only way I can explain it. I have 20/15 vision now. It’s life changing. If you’re having doubts, go get your free consultation and see how easy it is. You’ll be thankful you did. I should have done it years ago.

I can even drive at night!

Not what I think but what I know of Dr. Jeffrey Lusk is he’s an amazing person with super values and it shows. He cares top notch; if I have to come and get the surgeries/service my mom got, let me tell you all, I truly recommend coming here to get it all done!!!! Hats off to Dr. J. Lusk and the entire staff. Thanks so much for your help with my mom, too.

Lusk eye specialist is full of very professional and friendly staff. The knowledge and wonderful care by all involved is incredible. I’m a so grateful to have found them. I had problems with my cornea and needed immediate attention. Lusk Eye Specialist made room for me and corrected my problem. I’ve since had cataracts removed and see like I did when I was a teenager. Such freedom to see without the glasses. Love this place !!Michael Gable

I was completely legally blind I couldn’t see anything even 2 foot in front of me, I had been debating the surgery for years I went in and saw dr Bryan Lusk I never thought would be able to see again without always having to wear glasses or contacts and he has done an amazing job surgery took around 15 to 20 minutes and I will say it’s the best money I’ve ever spent in my entire life. It’s not to expensive and I have went from legally blind to being 20/15 in my right eye and 20/20 in my left eye it’s a game changer so if you are like me please don’t debate it go see dr Bryan the consultation is free!!!

I had laser surgery ( for the second time) at Lusk Eye Specialist.Everyone there ,from the first person you see when you sign in to the last person you see leaving , are very kind, helpful and professional. There wasn’t a long wait and everyone went out of their way to answer my questions and help me to feel comfortable. Dr. Lusk is very nice and good at what he does. Both surgeries, four years apart, went perfect and I’m doing great.

LUSK SUCKS. Keep deleting my review and I will continue to tell the public the truth

Human Complaintant

20:27 09 Oct 24

It is disconcerting that the only reviews companies show are the ones that give them Messiah status, when we all know this is not true. All of the nurses are great but the doctors can be especially old school. Sending a patient that is almost blind to a pharmacy with a written prescription is CRAZY. The entire point of the internet is to make peoples life easier. Maybe you could give it a try. Alternatively have drops on hand so they can actually see what they are doing. That is the least you can do. DO NO HARM.4.8 is absolutely misleading and INCORRECT. I gave you a 1.1 means NOT GOOD.

My husband and I had elective cataract surgery with Dr. Bryan.The whole process went seamlessly. Dr. Bryan was very knowledgeable and meticulous about all the details to help us decide which lens was right for us and has a very friendly disposition. His staff is also very friendly and professional which makes a pleasant enviornment. The Lusk Center has the most cutting edge technology. I still wonder how a cataract can be put in the eye and then a machine can adjust it for superb vision. Simply amazing! Thank you, Dr. Bryan and staff!!

Brooke E

18:35 03 Feb 24

Everyone was so nice and professional from the very beginning. And, the lady who is in there helping the doc when the surgery is actually being done is soooo good at her job. I was very nervous, and she talked to me through the whole thing. It helped so much. And almost eight months later, my eyes are doing great! Love this place!

Gary Roach

I came to Lusk at the end of March 2023 and was set up for April 3 to have my left eye surgery for cataracts, I had my right eye done on April 24th. The surgery results were amazing, I am very pleased and the staff were very supportive, professional and friendly. I would recommend Lusk to anyone that needs their services.

Debra Hall

17:33 18 May 23

I’ve been a client of Lusk Eye specialist for at least 25 year and would recommend them to others. The wait time is reasonable and they cover all areas diagnostically to assure proper treatment. The staff is trained well and friendly.

Alan Strickland

17:32 21 Mar 23

Excellent care and concern! From good vision 4 months ago to nothing to a blurred mess I was scared that I was completely losing my sight. I went to Lusk to try to find out they told me that the medication I was taking to control my multiple myeloma cancer was causing the quick onset of cataracts in both eyes. 1month later perfect vision. Thank you Bryan Lusk and your wonderful staff.
