I recently had LASIK surgery at Wang Vision Institute, and I had an excellent experience from start to finish.My procedure was postponed for a few hours because the laser machine required a software update. The staff were very apologetic about the delay and even provided us with a Starbucks gift card for the inconvenience, which was greatly appreciated.Although my procedure did not begin until after normal office hours, the doctors and staff never seemed rushed. They carefully explained everything beforehand and talked me through each step right before and during the procedure. When I became anxious, they were incredibly reassuring, patient, and attentive to my concerns rather than dismissing them.One thing that surprised me was how quick the actual LASIK procedure was. The laser portion took only about 90 seconds per eye. The longest part was waiting while the staff programmed and prepared the machine right before the procedure. From start to finish, the entire procedure lasted approximately 20–30 minutes. Throughout the process, both the technician and doctor were very gentle, reassuring, and happy to answer any questions I had during and after the procedure.At my post-operative appointment, the doctor and staff were welcoming and took the time to listen to all of my questions and concerns regarding the symptoms I was experiencing. My vision was blurry immediately after the procedure, but it improved more each day as expected.I would highly recommend Wang Vision Institute to anyone considering vision correction surgery. The entire process—from consultation to recovery—can sound intimidating, but my experience was smooth and positive. I would also like to recognize Gabby, the surgical coordinator, who was respectful, professional, and very helpful in answering all of my financial questions and concerns.Thank you to the entire team for providing such outstanding care and support throughout my LASIK journey.

I’m thoroughly pleased with the cataract surgery Dr. Guduru performed for me using laser surgery on both eyes. It was done quickly and safely with no complications. I can now read without glasses after attaining 20/20 vision. My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner.

Dr. Zimmerman spent a lot of time during my I nitial interview to assess, explain options for my cataract diagnosis. Cassandra and Cameron provided super efficient, precision prep for surgery. Dr. Guduru did the surgery using laser and lenses that corrected issues that I wore glasses for in the past. Excellent surgery skills. I have 20/20 vision and good reading sight as well. Don’t need glasses any more!Surgery center Debbie RN was an excellent care-giver and educator. Jamie nurse anesthetist was very supportive in whole surgery comfort. Thank you all for great care and teamwork.

Had poor vision my whole life, as I got older I developed cataracts. I live in Florida and seen a local surgeon but didn’t feel comfortable with them. I read the reviews about Wang VC so glad I choose them. They took the extra time to measure my eyes because of my nystagmus and rushed their schedule to get me in before the end of 2025. I have worn glasses since I was 2yrs old and my best vision before cataracts was 20/60. When I was seen in November 2025 I was 20/100 in left eye 20/70 in right eye and was unable to pass driver’s license eye test. Today January 2026 after my laser cataract surgery I am seeing 20/40 in both eyes without glasses. These people are miracle workers and care about what they do. I was extremely sceptial at first but they far exceeded my expectations. God bless these folks and the wonderful work they do. They truly changed my life.

I don’t leave reviews often, but Wang Vision Institute definitely deserves 5 stars. My experience here was unmatched. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.Dr. Guduru is fantastic. I recieved “SMILE” laser eye surgery and he made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. I really appreciate Dr. G and the staff for making my vision correction journey an enjoyable experience. Thank you!

I recently visited the Wang Vision Institute for a LASIK examination and surgery. I appreciate that I was able to get a free consultation and price compare the services. I had my consultation and heard the price breakdown, then visited other companies to make sure I was getting the best services. I came back to Wang Vision, and I'm still very happy with my choice.Everyone is very knowledgeable about the procedures and helped me feel secure in my decision. There was a student/trainee that attended my consultation with Karen, and I was glad to hear that they take so many students for training at this location. (The student did a great job, too!) Cameron made sure that I felt supported and explained my available options in a very accessible way. Dr. Jones and his assistant performed the surgery in a separate room, and the procedure itself was very fast (like 20 minutes under the laser). Admittedly I sat under the machine for a bit longer because they had to wait for my eyes to numb, so the entire consultation session (redone during day of surgery) and actual surgery took about 3 hours. Then, you go back the next day for a follow up to make sure everything looks ok.I have overall felt supported and informed in my decision to go with Wang Vision Institute. LASIK surgery is a big decision, and I'm very happy with my decision.Plus, they have a really cool lobby.

I’m very grateful to the Wang Vision Institute Team for their part in helping improve my quality of life by providing comprehensive information about the procedures and compassionate care during the procedures. Thanks to Gabby for coordinating, the two receptionist that checked me in at the surgery center, Shelley and Debbie the nurses, Jaimie and Crystal the nurse anesthetists, also the nurse anesthetist that started my IV for my first surgery, Adrian who counted me through the laser for the second surgery and checked on me while waiting for the team to arrive, Scott who said hi and especially Dr Guduru.

I have Keratoconus and was having some difficulty. I called Wang Vision Institute on Monday and had an appointment in two days. Scott first did a thorough exam, he was very kind and professional. I then saw Dr. Jake Wysiadlowski and the experience could not have been any better. He did a thorough exam, picked up that I had some scar tissue from previous cataract removal and told me my options. He did not rush me and was not hasty to do any unwarranted procedures. From start to finish, the visit went so well, the front desk were polite and professional also. They were able to schedule the scar removal by laser in 7 days, they are prompt and proactive. The office visit was worth the 90 minute drive to downtown Nashville. Thank you!

I had a great experience at Wang Vision Institute! Every step of the process, the techs and surgeon explained what they were doing which put my anxiety at ease. Shoutout to Dr. Jones, Gabby (coordinator), and Scott (tech) and the whole team for providing an excellent experience! I ended up choosing SMILE to fix my nearsightedness (-2.50) and slight astigmatism. The recovery wasn’t as itchy/dry as I was expecting. I opted for the additional ocular surface package (to clean blepharitis in my eyelids) and tear retaining plugs which I think prevented the dry/itchy side effects common after laser eye surgery. Pricey but worth it! I am now 2 weeks post-op and my vision is near perfect. The only thing I am waiting on is being able to see fine text close-up (especially electronic text) as well as I did when I had glasses/contacts. Full recovery can take up to 3 months so I will give it time and continue to check-in with my doctor on the progress.

Because of Dr. Guduru my eyesight went from 20/200 to 20/20 in less than 24 hours after the surgery. Before seeing Dr. Guduru both me eyes had an astigmatism, and my left eye was recovering from a recent retinal attachment surgery. This made my vision solely dependent on my right eye, which itself was at 20/200. Dr. Guduru took the time to answer all my questions and concerns regarding the cataract and laser surgery for my left and right eye. Cameron made sure to research all my health insurance options and make the insurance billing process smooth and painless.Because of Dr. Guduru my vision is back to 20/20, where it was when I was in my twenties. I would like to thank Dr. Guduru, Cameron and the entire staff at Wang Vision Institute for providing exceptional customer service and turning what could have been a dark period in my life into a rebirth and a new sense of optimism!!!

At 69 years old, the doctors at Wang Vision Institute told me that I needed cataract surgery to replace the old lens with a new one in each eye. Since I also have unilateral keratoconus and an “intact” permanently implanted in my left eye by Dr Wang, I would only consider Wang Vision Institute (WVI) to do the surgery since they are world leaders in treating this condition. Without my contact lenses on, I couldn’t read anything on the eye chart, not even the big E, because of being very nearsighted. I told Dr. Guduru that I didn’t want any fancy lenses implanted in my eye, just basic ones and figured I would adjust as needed with contact lenses. I had the left cataract affected lens removed and replaced a week ago and the right one yesterday, the results are staggering. Scott at WVI tested my vision today and it is close to 20/20!!!! Without any glasses or contact lenses!!! I haven’t seen this well in literally 60 years!!! Dr Guduru is my surgeon at WVI. He is an amazing surgeon and has done hundreds (maybe more) of these surgeries. I HIGHLY recommend him and the staff at WVI to anyone who wants world-class medical eye care. Had it not been for Dr Wang inserting the intact in my eye with the advanced femto-laser over a decade ago, I would have lost more and more of my eyesight and eventually needed a corneal transplant. My ignorant ophthalmologist in my hometown did not recommend WVI for my condition, which should be medical malpractice in my book. I saw a commercial of Dr Wang ballroom dancing and called WVI myself. Now, with Dr Wang’s intact surgery (he has an M.D.from Harvard Med and a Ph.D. in laser physics from M.I.T.) and with Dr. Guduru’s expertise in using laser surgery and lens replacement, for the first time in 60 years I am seeing close to 20/20 without any need of glasses or contact lenses. As Scott explained to me, the cataracts were scattering the light and causing what I thought was myopia. I just needed new lenses. Obviously, I highly recommend WVI, Dr Wang, and Dr. Guduru for your eye care!!!

My eyesight after laser cataract surgery is great. The Wang Vision Institute is a well organized, professional and caring eyesight correction facility. Check-in, eye exam, and identification of recommended corrective actions went smoothly. Kayla S. did an superb job in coordinating the surgery process. Prior to the surgery Dr Guduru discussed the cataract and lens replacement process as well as the pros and cons. I recommend Wang Vision Institute to all who need to see an ophthalmologist.

I had my SMILE lasik done here 3 weeks ago & couldn’t be happier. I was so pleasantly surprised with this experience! I definitely went in nervous, I don’t like things close to my eyes, but it was only 2-3 minutes each eye & the actual laser part was only 23 seconds (I know because they count down this part which is very comforting). Bedside manner was excellent for all involved, especially Dr. Gudury & his assistant. They were so reassuring, confident, and the best pair I’ve been around in the medical field. Kayln was also great to talk to, very kind & informative. I was astonished I could see the same day & could see things farther away more clearly than before but just seemed like a light fog/looking through very watery eyes the first day. Everyday I progressed significantly. My surgery was on a Friday, on Monday at my follow up I could already see better than 20/20! I like to sew & my vision was only still a little blurry when trying to thread a needle at this point, but now I can see perfectly even doing that. It was about week 2 1/2 when I noticed I can see my needle hole perfectly & vision is at its full potential.

#cataracts #dryeye #IPL My husband and I originally came to see Dr. Wang for cataract surgery - Dr. Wang did the surgery for both of us. He has an exceptional bedside manner and his skillful surgeon's hands have done many an eye surgery. Our new lenses have worked out beautifully. Most recently, we've both been treated for dry eye. I never knew it was an actual affliction, it sounds so Visine-gets-the-red-out kind of problem. But, it's a big problem and it affected our vision, so we highed ourselves back to the Wang Vision Institute. This time, we met Dr. Wysiadlowski ("Dr. Wish") who has introduced to the Wang Institute IPL (intense pulsed light) as a treatment for dry eye and roasacea and hyperpigmentation that also by the way improves the collagen in your skin. Yup. All of that and it's non-invasive. IPL does quite a lot, so you should call them and ask. Also, Wang Vision Institute has a nice range of medical spa procedures. Today was my very last session and I'll still need to go in for annual refreshes. My dry eye is almost cured. I still have to use some prescription drops, but that's an itty bitty inconvenience for the clarity of vision that I now have. Cherry on top is that Dr. Wish is lovely. He has been very attentive in treating me. The IPL pulse is quite bright and that alone makes me twitch, which makes him check on me often. I'll happily go back to see Dr. Wish in 6 months. Wang Vision Institute is the first place I think of when it comes to my family's eye health.

Let me start off with saying my treatment/surgery by the Wang Vision Institue was a "WOW" experience. From the time I made my appointment, initial consultation, Laser surgery, and post procedure follow up appointment it was a wonderful experience! The Doctors and staff at WVI are top notch. They were Professional and friendly at all times from the front desk, the technicians, nurse and doctors. I could not have been happier with the entire experience! My surgeon, Dr Guduru, exceeded all expectations! My surgery was a cataract removal and corrective lens replacement. Dr Guduru masterfully completed a difficult procedure in a timely manner. I could see the results immediately the following morning on my post operative follow-up and eye testing. If you are dealing with decreased vision from cataracts, I highly recommend WVI and Dr Guduru to return your quality of life! RN Claire was also a part of this wonderful team!

I wanted Lasik so I could see my toddler without the hassle of glasses… and him grabbing them all the time. The atmosphere at WVI and the staff are all great! From start to finish everyone was welcoming and friendly. Amanda started my work up, the Dr. Wys got my prescription figured out perfectly and all of the details of the surgery clearly stated. Cameron came in to discuss pricing and Dr. Guduru worked his magic with the laser. I’m still in the early stages of healing but being able to see my toddler without glasses has already been magical!

I can’t recommend Wang Vision Institute enough - I had an excellent experience getting their SMILE (small incision) treatment. The consultation and surgery were easy and smooth, and I am very impressed with the improvements in my vision and easy recovery only 3 days after surgery. Dr. Jones, Cameron and Scott were incredibly helpful and were great sources of frank and grounded information, and made the surgery itself a low-stress process. Bottom line, if it makes sense for you financially (and that can be made easier with financing through CareCredit), I would not go anywhere else for laser vision treatment.

This place gave us a complimentary consult and same day treatment, which was great considering I work as a welder and can't wear my glasses at work - so I was able to plan this around our annual shut down. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, even when things got a little difficult with the HSA card. We got there about 15 minutes early and got called back right away, exam was fast and easy, took a few minutes for the doctor to come back, he was friendly and examined me quickly, answering all of our questions thoroughly and without making us feel any type of way about them, the financial coordinator took a while to come in, but was helpful one he got in there and explained the pricing for us, even helped us apply for financing. The front helped us deal with HSA card issues, worked with my night shift schedule, and I even checked in on Facebook and got my girlfriend a Starbucks gift card! The only complaint about that process is some of the things they "upsold" us on - I didn't feel like gave the best explanation. The eyelid cleaning - was a HORRIBLE experience and I wouldn't ever get that or recommend it to anyone. I felt like it was a waste of money, didn't do much, but also wasn't fully explained just recommended/told I had to get. The lady who did it cleaned them with a brush, which was fine, but then used the bright light (without telling me it would be a bright light, right after my eyes were dilated) and shoved it into my eye socket, even when I pulled back and told her it was really tough her response "yeah it's a little uncomfortable" with a laugh - just felt like she didn't truly know how to do it right and caused a lot of pain before I even had the procedure. I asked for the Valium beforehand/told her they should give it before that as I was already anxious - she just laughed and said I get it after. My girlfriend even went home and watched some videos on the treatment and says that is NOT how the lady did it - for $650 an eye I feel like that should've been a better experience. I also think they could've explained the SMILE procedure itself a little better and how the flow would go - I was anxious about the laser, but not being able to move at all for thirty seconds sent my anxiety and blood pressure skyrocketing - and I feel I would've been better prepared if they told me ahead of time what to expect. I also got the little tear duct plugs they recommend - and then at the follow up the next day had to have one taken out, just didn't make sense, if they were that needed why was it removed next day, but the rest stay for 3-4 months. Overall I had a good experience and I would do it again without question. My vision was improved that day, and other than a little blurriness I'm able to see without corrective lenses for the first time in my life - and I had HORRIBLE vision. I just wish they had explained a little more and helped me feel fully confident in everything I paid for. To anyone wanting to get it done - they were great, I wouldn't personally recommend the eyelid cleaning - BUT the staff was amazing and the procedure has changed my life.

After being told by two other big name laser centers that i was not a candidate for laser correction, Dr Wang and his team proved the others wrong. I had an amazing experience and still can't believe how comfortable they made me with the entire process and how well I can see. Thank you to everyone!!!

Having to wear glasses and or contacts for over 55 yrs Dr. Wang has lifted the weight off my nose. My life has been changed with a simple HD laser cataract surgery and the placement of Forever Young Lenses. It is so wonderful to wake up in the morning and see the alarm clock without reaching for my glasses or fall asleep watching TV without my glasses which normally ended up contorted on my face or bent or broken when I wake up. I want to thank Dr. Wang and his wonderful staff of professionals for giving me the vision I so dearly wanted, Glasses Free!! The only glasses I wear now are sunglasses.

Had laser floater removal done at Wang Vision Institute after suffering with eye floaters that made it look like I was peering through a dense fog all the time. It was difficult to drive and challenged my depth perception. This procedure drastically improved my vision and allows me to do the activities that I love again. Dr Wang is wonderfully skilled and I would come see him again for any eye issues. The BEST!

I am a 30-year-old male who has had to wear glasses for the past 15 years of my life. As I began college my vision digressed very rapidly to the point where I could not function without my glasses. It was a very debilitating part of my life. It was hard to do my favorite activities, without glasses. I hated the way glasses looked on my face and I always had to take them off for pictures. Driving without glasses made me a danger to myself and others. So finally, I decided to take the plunge and get Lasik. I did my homework and researched the best Lasik doctors in Tennessee. I found that Dr. Ming Wang in Nashville was by far and away the best doctor I could possibly hope for. The entire experience with his staff and his office was amazing. They really made me feel at home. From the pricing, to the counseling, to the follow up visits- the whole experience was amazing. I have told my closest friends and family that if they ever consider Lasik, in my opinion, there was only one choice - Dr. Ming Wang. He is an amazing person and an amazingly talented surgeon. If you want the Best for your own eyes or the eyes of a loved one, go experience his professionalism and skills for yourself. The choice is clear and so is my vision. The Wang Vision Institute is the only place to go for Lasik laser vision correction!

Thank you! Before choosing dr wang, I ALMOST went to another doctor for a cheaper route. Thankfully, I was turned away by the office. My sight and cornea scarring was too bad for them to attempt to fix with lasik. I had previously attended dr wangs seminar. At the time it just wasn’t in our family budget. But I couldn’t help think if dr wang can bring sight to those can’t see a scar couldn’t be that bad .. right ? So glad I returned to his office and had my lasik done with him. He reassured me that he has studied laser physics and he knew jus what treatment route to choose Today, 5 days later, I’m seeing at 20/15 vision with NO GLASSES OR CONTACTS from -5.75 glasses !

Dr. Wang is by far the best eye doctor/surgeon, hands down! My BF had his eyes done there back in Sept. so we referred a friend that was told her Fuchs Dystrophy would prevent her from getting laser done and Dr. Wang assured her the original doctor was wrong, he fixed her sight. Just recommend my mom to Dr. Wang for her cataract surgery. She's so happy with her results. Can't mess with your eyes so you need to go with the best, even if you think he may be more expensive. You'd be surprised. Dr.Wang calls all of his patients himself to check on you as well. We love him.
