I highly recommend Advance Laser Center and Dr. Belardo. My wife (soon to be ex) had an excellent experience with him. It costs only $699/eye for either PRK or Lasik. The initial consultation is free and they will be up front with you about whether you qualify or not. In fact, my wife originally did not qualify, but they gave her drops to put in her eyes for 2 weeks and told her to quit rubbing. She did that, they ran the tests again and she qualified. The PRK procedure takes a little more recovery time but has a higher overall success rate.

Another thing about the cost. The $699/eye covers 3 months worth of follow-up appts. However, you can pay more per eye and get more 'coverage' We ended up paying the maximum cost per eye ($999/eye I believe) which gave my wife lifetime coverage and covers any additional procedures that might have to be performed in the future.

The doctor and his staff were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable.

Please keep in mind that the above information was as of December 2004/January 2005, so it might have changed since. The link to their web site is below:
