I wanted to explore Lasik eye surgery as I’ve been wearing glasses and contacts for about 22 years. I spoke to Miss Suzanne to schedule my consultation. She was a patient and understanding was able to answer all of my questions. I was notified that they would be able to complete the procedure the same day if I was a candidate. When I arrived, the front desk staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Miss Caroline did my initial testing. She was quick and gave me fair warning of what each of the machines test for and do. Next, I met with Dr. Justin to get a read on my current prescription. He was patient, perceptive, and asked all the right questions- genuinely a good person. I was then made aware of a similar procedure called SMILE which had lower risk factors and the recovery fit my needs; I’m currently a single mom, nursing student, and PCA so my eyes are everything. I spoke to a young lady named Gabby, who helped me understand financing options and helped me make an informed decision about the different plants they offer. She is the perfect person to talk to when you’re balling on a budget. My visit ended after completing the SMILE procedure with Dr. Guduru and his staff member only moments after the assessment. Dr. Guduru worked steady, quickly, and like he’s done this a million times. I wasn’t sure whether to high five hug or throw a dance party, but I’m extremely grateful for Wang Vision Institute. After my follow up visit, I’m confident that I chose the right facility to handle my care. I’ll be bringing my mom and my grandma back, because I know they’ll be care for with upmost dignity and respect!

I recently had my Zeiss Smile surgery done at Wang vision. The staffers were punctual and friendly, Cassandra the nurse was very patient and thorough in my eye evaluation, the coordinator Cameron was very helpful in explaining to me the cost of the procedure, the implications and after care. Dr. Zimmerman proposed two ways my surgery can be done, one gets both eyes to 20/20, the other one that could help me read without relying as much on reading glasses (I need reading glasses at my age). We used correction glasses and tried both scenarios, he was very detailed in explaining and informing me both solutions and what they entail in the future. I was able to make an informed decision. And finally, it was doctor Guduru who performed the surgery. It was a great success, and without any pain or adverse feelings. I was sent home with a post surgery care package and instructions on recovery. This is a very professional practice with the highest standards in vision care, I would recommend to everyone who needs Lasik or other vision procedures.

I had Zeiss SMILE just over a week ago and the experience was fantastic. Suzanne was great to work with getting everything arranged and Dr. Jones did a great job making the procedure itself quick and painless. I went from high grade myopia to perfect vision in 3 days! They gave me all the resources and help needed to recover very quickly and successfully, and Dr Jones quickly called me back to answer some later questions I had. Highly recommend trusting Wang Vision Institute.

Cameron, Dr.Guduru & Karen were all so welcoming during my visit. The front office staff & assistants made this experience very laid back & an easy decision for LASIK eye surgery. I cannot explain how happy I am with my results. This is amazing. I would recommend Wang Vision Institute to anyone considering LASIK

I just received LASIK eye surgery by Dr. Guduru and it was a fantastic experience. Everything from the initial inquiry communication with Ashley, to the parking validation in downtown where it’s usually difficult to find parking. Cameron and Dennis were also extremely informative and thorough to make me feel aware of the results and outcomes. I wouldn’t bother looking anywhere else in town to be taken care of with professionalism and quality of service.

100% recommend wang vision institute. I felt like I was more than just another patient being seen. I got lasik eye surgery and it was so quick, painless, and the eye doctors were so caring and reassuring. Dr Kyle jones and dr “ Wish “ were very nice and didn’t push me to do anything I didn’t want and I got the desired results. I now have 20/20 and I still feel like I’m dreaming !!

What an incredible experience! I was nervous to get SMILE (a LASIK adjacent procedure), and I can't stress how well this team took care of me. Scott was the first person I met and he was very informative and hysterical. Next I met Dr. Wish-- he was knowledgeable and provided a laundry list of options and services that would help me accomplish my goal of never having to use glasses or contacts again! Cameron was fabulous in providing payment options. Dr. Jones was my surgeon and he was as quick and efficient as they come. I was very nervous for my surgery (just ask anyone listed above), and James (surgeon tech) made me feel so comforted and even held my hand when I needed it most! I would choose this team again in a heart beat!!!! If you're on the fence about LASIK, this is your sign to do it!

The staff at Wang vision institute are very friendly and professional, especially the coordinator Kayla and my surgeon Dr. Jones. I came in to have lasik but they educated me about a new procedure called SMILE which involves less recovery time. They walked me through every step of getting my eye procedure done and made me feel very comfortable with everything. I got the surgery done on Friday, and by Saturday I was able to see without the use of glasses anymore. My follow up on Monday showed that I had 20/20 vision. I would recommend Wang Vision Institute to anyone looking to have Lasik or SMILE done.

I’m 2 weeks post op and haven’t had any issues whatsoever with my vision. I had the SMILE procedure done and I haven’t experienced dry eye (in contacts I constantly had dry eye). The procedure took about 4-5 minutes per eye and the doctor and technicians were in the room talking to me throughout the entire procedure. Oddly, it was quite a relaxing experience.
GoogleJul 24, 2023
Very thorough from beginning to end. I had SMILE done and am very happy with the results thus far (3days after). I was quite nervous but everything was explained and during the procedure with Dr. Guduru there was support staff to talk me through what was happening, even reminders to breathe which was needed. Cameron went over pricing with us and explained the different options well. Although somewhat pricey, well worth it and they have taken care of me. Highly recommend.

My experience at Wang Vision was great from the very first phone call to get basic info and following throughout the entire process. After speaking with Dr. Zimmerman I went ahead and chose to do SMILE immediately following my consultation. Dr. Guduru completed the procedure. He was fantastic along with his assistants. Dr. Guduru explained each step during the surgery and his assistants were encouraging which made it a great experience. I had a fairly high prescription for the last 20+ years so waking up the day after surgery and being able to see as if I had glasses on was such a cool feeling. 10/10 would recommend Wang Vision!!

I was referred to Dr Wang’s practice by a close friend of mine and loved my whole experience! I had very poor vision before getting the SMILE vision. I mean I couldn’t see at all! Everyone in the office was super nice and went above and beyond every visit. My surgery coordinator Cameron was so friendly and was so easy to work with. The day of the surgery James made me feel at ease right before the surgery. Cameron and James are true rockstars! Thank you Dr Cook and staff for the ability to see again!

Thank you Dr Zimmerman for answering all my questions in a way I can understand! I have been wearing glasses for 20plus years, & after having SMILE within a few hours I was able to SEE! During the surgery Dr Kyle and the staff were so patient and talking to me the whole time letting me know what was going on step by step. I experienced no pain during or after the surgery. The OSP eye cleaning though was pretty painful but overall the surgery was painless. It has been life changing, run dont walk get your surgery ASAP!-Megan

I recently had the privilege of undergoing the SMILE LASIK procedure at the renowned Wang Vision Institute, and I am delighted to share my exceptional experience. From start to finish, every aspect of the process surpassed my expectations, and I am immensely grateful to Dr. Wang and his team, Cameron, Dr. Koch, Scott, James, and Dennis for their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to outstanding patient care.

I'd been considering getting LASIK for years when I finally decided to just go for the consultation and exam. After hearing about the SMILE procedure, choosing Wang Vision Institute was a no brainer. I'm not normally nervous about anything, but I was a little keyed up waiting for my exam and to find out if I was a good candidate. However, *everyone* I interacted with was so calm and friendly that it all felt normal and routine. **Cameron** is an amazing surgical counselor, who took the time to make sure I understood the commitment involved with the surgery. My technicians Scott, Kayla, James and especially **Amanda W.** helped me through every step of the process. (Amanda is so awesome - I felt like my eyes were getting a relaxing, warm spa treatment!) And Baileah did an excellent job coordinating payment and scheduling for my surgery and post-op follow ups. Dr. Zimmerman examined the current state of my eyesight and helped me understand exactly what was going to happen during the SMILE procedure. And I can't praise **Dr. Guduru** enough for his calm manner and precision that got me through the hardest part of the SMILE surgery with flying colors. Besides the outstanding staff, you can expect the exam day to be long because you can get your procedure done the same day if you are a good candidate. (There are complimentary snacks & water while you go through all the tests and exam.) And you do need someone to go with you so they can drive you home while you close/rest your eyes. I slept through the drive, the rest of the afternoon, and right into the night. By morning, my vision was significantly improved and by my first post-op, I was seeing 20/13 vision! It's really important to follow the post-surgery routine as closely as possible for your eyes to heal. I contribute both Dr. Guduru's skill and the post-surgery routine to my excellent recovery. It feels amazing to see better than even my contacts could correct and not need them or my glasses anymore!

I can't praise *Dr. Guduru* enough for his calm manner and precision that got me through the hardest part of the SMILE surgery with flying colors. The night after Dr. Guduru performed surgery, I was seeing almost as well as my old contact prescription. By morning, my vision was significantly improved and by my first post-op, I was seeing 20/13 vision! It's really important to follow the post-surgery routine as closely as possible for your eyes to heal. I contribute both Dr. Guduru's skill, friendliness, and support combined with the post-surgery routine to my excellent recovery.

In a nutshell it was great. Everyone on staff was amazing & personable. Due to my prescription being so high (-10.5 in the right & -9 in the left) I qualified for SMILE and, specifically, a reduction. Meaning: we’ll get you as close as possible to perfect vision. Now I have 20/20 in my left and around 20/40-20/50 in my right! For someone who’s worn glasses since second grade, this is huge. My vision keeps getting better even a month after. (And I still wake up every morning looking for my glasses 😂) Thank you to the whole team at Wang!

Hindsight is 20/20 and now so is my vision. Im glad I went to Wang Vision Institute for my vision correction surgery. I've worn contacts, and reluctantly glasses for over 20 years. I travel a lot and knowing I will struggle with very dry contacts every time I fly is stressful. I've wanted vision correction for years but never found the right place and price. WVI wasn't even the first place I looked into around the Nashville area. I didn't feel comfortable until I met with Dr. Wang's team. Its not a giant office so faces become familiar and the staff knows you too. I saw the same Doctor from consultation through my follow-up appointments. I don't even get that with my PCM. It turns out the procedure wasn't more expensive but WVI does offer more advanced, less invasive procedures. I would, and do, recommend Wang Vision Institute to everyone with less than perfect vision. Thank you Dr. Guduru for improving my life with SMILE eye surgery.

Have worn glasses since I was 8, contacts since 12. My prescription had gotten so bad I was wearing -6.5 contacts… after my vision stabilized for a few years, my eye doctor set up a consul station with WVI and I was able to get SMILE the same day! By my follow-up appointment the next morning I was seeing 20/20 with minimal discomfort. It’s absolutely unbelievable how well I can see, and so quickly! Highly recommend WVI, they do great work!
GoogleApr 19, 2023
Incredible experience! I went in expecting to discuss Lasik, but learned of a newer, even less invasive procedure called SMILE. After a few eye exams to make sure I qualified for SMILE, I was approved, and was able to receive the procedure the same day. The entire staff was wonderful! Everyone was helpful throughout each step and made sure I felt comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend for SMILE/Lasik :)
