Everyone was so nice and professional here! I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of getting SMILE. James, Dennis, Scott, and Cameron were all going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and taken care of. Dr. Zimmerman explained my ophthalmic exam very thoroughly and even drew me pictures so I could understand better! Dr. Jones who did my SMILE surgery was very nice and assuring the whole time. Today is the day after the surgery and I can see wonderfully with no pain at all! More

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.First and foremost, the Wang Vision Institute exudes an atmosphere of excellence and innovation. The facility is state-of-the-art, equipped with cutting-edge technology that instills confidence and reassurance. The moment I stepped into their welcoming and modern clinic, I was greeted by a warm and friendly staff who made me feel at ease, alleviating any anxiety I had about the procedure.During the procedure, Dr. Wang and his skilled team ensured my comfort and safety, providing a reassuring presence throughout. Their attention to detail and commitment to precision were evident in every step, leaving me with complete confidence in their abilities. The surgery was quick, painless, and remarkably efficient, thanks to their expertise and seamless coordination. If you are considering vision correction, I wholeheartedly recommend the Wang Vision Institute and their state-of-the-art SMILE LASIK procedure. They have exceeded my expectations, and I am confident they will do the same for you. More

I'd been considering LASIK when I finally decided to just go for it. After researching SMILE, choosing Wang Vision Institute was easy. I'm not normally nervous, but *everyone* was so calm & friendly that it all felt normal. *Cameron* is an amazing surgical counselor, who took the time to ensure I understood the commitment. Techs Scott, Kayla, James and especially *Amanda W.* helped me through every step of the process. Baileah did an excellent job coordinating payment & scheduling. Dr. Zimmerman examined the current state of my eyesight & helped me understand exactly what was going to happen during SMILE. And I can't praise *Dr. Guduru* enough for his calm manner & precision that got me through the hardest part of the surgery.Exam day is long and you need someone to drive you home so you can rest/sleep. I slept immediately after and right into the night. By my post-op, I was seeing 20/13! It's really important to follow the post-op care. It feels amazing to have my best ever vision! More

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! More

I had the SMILE operation at WVI. It was very quick and the staff were all very helpful. Cameron was accommodating and transparent when discussing prices and Dr. Jones and Scott made the surgery quick and painless. Overall a great experience that I'd recommend others to. More

What a great experience! Was able to finish the consultation and SMILE procedure all in a single day! These folks were incredibly helpful in making the decision and improving my terrible vision. Cameron made the financing very easy and what a no brainer to fix my eyesight. Beware of other institutions offering too good to be true pricing, these folks do it right. Both Dr. Jones and James made the procedure painless and professional. Can't thank them enough for helping me to see without contacts or glasses. Could not recommend Wang Vision institute enough for their help, what a great experience!! More

The people who work there are friendly and accommodating. I had astigmatism and nearsightedness, but now enjoy 20/20 vision with no complications since I got SMILE surgery at Wang Vision Institute a year ago. There was period of recovery for about 6 months when objects looked washed out and my eyes were extra sensitive to light, but it was worth that minor inconvenience. More

Dr. Wang definitely knows what he's doing, and the others that work there are friendly and accommodating. I chose Wang Vision Institute for the simple reason of wanting the best for my eyesight. A year after getting the SMILE procedure performed by Dr. Wang I am happy to say that my eyesight is still excellent. More

I had astigmatism and nearsightedness and wanted to get my vision corrected with no long term side effects. I found Wang Vision Institute, and decided to get my SMILE procedure done there despite the 11 hour drive. I have no regrets from that decision. The people there are friendly and accommodating, and the surgery was performed flawlessly by Dr. Wang. More

I don't usually leave reviews, but this was such a good experience I wanted to share. I had SMILE eye surgery yesterday afternoon and at my follow up appointment this morning I am already seeing 20/20! The whole experience from initial consultation through follow up visit was great. The surgery was easy and very quick. I previously went to another eye surgeon in downtown Nashville who told me I wasn't a candidate for lasik because of my astigmatism and he wanted to perform PKR. I came here for a 2nd opinion and they said I was a good candidate for lasik/SMILE. This place performs so many surgeries and has such great reviews I knew they were more reliable than the other opinion I had. I'm so glad I decided to move forward with the surgery! More

By using the SMILE procedure, Dr. Wang corrected my vision. Dr. Wang took my vision from a -8.50 prescription and “coke-bottle thick” glasses to 20/30 vision ONE day post-op! Dr. Wang and his staff are competent, kind, and accommodating. Kayla answered every question I had with grace and kindness. Dennis completed my eye exam and deep cleaning seamlessly. Gabby kept me informed and encouraged throughout the procedure. Dr. Wang prayed with me prior to the surgery, kept me informed throughout the procedure, and even called to follow up with me the night of the procedure. Though my vision was blurry, I could see my momma’s beautiful smile from across the room immediately after surgery! The Wang Vision Institute changed my life! More

Photo: Two hours after surgery, and I could already see better than I had in 15 years with absolutely no redness on the eye. I am officially one-week post-op from my "SMILE" procedure, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience at Wang Vision Institute and my results. I am a classic case of "got glasses when I was nine and haven't been able to see without them since." A bladeless LASIK procedure was something that I had wanted to do for well over a decade. The only thing that kept me from making the leap was… I'll be honest, I am a big baby when it comes to procedures. The thought of eye surgery? That was the scariest part. A friend in the greater Nashville area sang the praises of Wang Vision Institute so much that I knew I had to at least take the first step in conquering my fear and just make a consultation. Making that call has been one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. I was immediately greeted by friendly office staff who were extremely accommodating in fitting me into the schedule and extremely knowledgeable about the procedures themselves. Something that I was so thankful for was the pricing transparency at Wang Vision Institute. Within the first call, I had a better idea of my options if I was a candidate for the procedure than all of my years of google searches combined. When I made it to the office on the day of my consultation, the process was seamless, and the entire team explained every part of the procedure so well. The thorough knowledge they shared with me eased my fears, so much so that I wanted to go ahead and get the procedure done the same day - and they were kind enough to fit me in for the last procedure of the day. The entire team at Wang Vision Institute has the utmost professionalism. I sincerely appreciated their respect in presenting me all of my options and never acting like salespeople. I have had negative experiences before with other “cosmetic surgeries” where the staff heckles you like a mall kiosk salesperson. You will not try to be “sold” anything. This was relieving and I never felt pressured. A few special shout-outs to Dennis Knight for great work sterilizing my eyes before the procedure, Dr. Jake Wysiadlowski for answering my myriad of questions, Dr. Kyle Jones for his incredible work in the operating room, and especially technician James Wright. James was there walking me through every step throughout the procedure. I was so nervous, but James made sure I did not feel alone while Dr. Jones was performing the SMILE procedure. Because I am such a baby, I know James did not have an easy job the day of my procedure and I want to make sure his talents and excellent communication with patients is recognized. Thank you Wang Vision Institute for changing my life! The morning sun looks extra beautiful now when I wake up and can see the world without glasses or contacts. What a gift! More

The staff at WVI was very accommodating during my treatment and first follow-up. The SMILE procedure they recommended fits my active lifestyle and the demands of being a firefighter/paramedic. I have had a quick healing time with vision restored to better than corrective lenses, without the hassle and frequent infections caused by extended wear. More

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. More

Before coming to Wang Vision, I was wearing contacts for 8 years and my vision just kept getting worse and worse every year (-6.50 on both eyes). Before I knew it, I was able to read in 20/20 vision 24 hours after my surgery. I had the SMILE procedure done and it took 45 minutes. Dr. Jones is an amazing eye surgeon and Dr. Zimmerman was very knowledgeable and answered any concerns I had about my eyes before the surgery. This surgery is most definitely a life changing experience! If you are considering either LASIK or SMILE, go to Wang Vision! More

I was referred to Wang Vision and glad I was. I have worn glasses for years and do not like contacts. I had the SMILE procedure done. The staff was very pleasant and informative. It’s been almost two weeks since my procedure and I am pleased with the results so far. I had a very high prescription and my vision is so much better and glad I do not not need my glasses anymore.

Couldn’t recommend Dr. Wang or his team more. After the SMILE surgery, my vision was dramatically better immediately and 20/20 within a week. More

Had such a wonderful experience! Went in for a consultation and was approved for both SMILE and Lasik. Ended up going with the SMILE procedure, same day! Everyone there was so lovely and friendly--- which was helpful as I was pretty nervous. The procedure was so much better than anticipated, I did not feel a thing and the recovery was very easy too! I feel super lucky! The individuals in the room with me during the procedure were very sweet and talked me through what was happening. To top it off-- Thanksgiving was the next day and Dr. Jones, who did the procedure, called me on the holiday just to check in and see how I was doing. So beyond nice for him to do on a holiday. Can't say enough nice things and now I see so well! An overall win. More

One word to describe the experience is perfect. I schedule a consultation in which it was free. They informed me about all the types of procedures there is.I have very high long sightedness and astigmatism. I qualified for all of procedures but recommended me for the SMILE procedure. On surgery day 11/07/22 they went over the DOs and DONTs post surgery. It was my first surgery but I was not nervous I had faith everything was going to go well. Dr.wang and the nurses made sure I was taken care off. The doctor prayed for me before the surgery which gave me more reinsurance everything was going to be okay. The surgery went very well, I had no pain I only experience blurriness which is very normal. Gave me all the drops I need to take. After surgery I made sure to keep my eyes closed as much as possible. Today as I am writing this on 11/08/22 I had post surgery appointment in which they checked my eyes told me I have 20/20 vision. My recovery is doing well as they expected it to be. Made sure I have all the drops I need to be taking. Overall the nurses and doctor made everything very clear. I’m very thankful for the staff. I recommend it if you qualified for it. More

Hello everyone, I've had bad eyesight since 3rd grade and my prescription for the year 2022 was about -7.5 in both eyes. In other words, i was totally blind. I couldn't even find my glasses in the morning because i couldn't see them. I've thought about getting corrective surgery for years but it always terrified me. This year I just got fed up with the struggle of wearing glasses and decided to see if I qualified for it. At Wang vision institute, I qualified for Lasik and Smile. I decided to go with smile, even though it can be pretty costly, because I wanted the best treatment for my eyes since they were so bad and it was less invasive. I had the surgery the same day and even though i was extremely anxious and nervous, I was able to go through it because Dr. Wang made me feel like I was in good hands. I trusted him to do it right and his assistant, Gabby, constantly reassured me through the whole thing. Everyone there was so patient and kind. I look forward to my check ups which is something I usually dread. It might be expensive, but you're in the best care. I saw 20/20 next day. It's life changing. More

Dr. Wang and his staff are amazing. They answered all my questions and took good care of me. I had the Smile procedure done and couldn't be happier. Dr. Wang himself called me later that night to see how I was doing. I highly recommend Dr. Wang and his lovely staff. More
