Dr. Woolfson was such a down to earth doctor who keeps it light-hearted, but also very professional. He has clearly put a ton of time and care into his work, and wants the best for his patients. He does a great job on advising you what to watch out for, post-op, and even sent me a personal thank you card, hand written, mentioning something we talked about on surgery. He's a great guy, and does this work because he loves it. Definitely recommend! And while my vision took about a week to see a massive improvement, I'm happy I'm now 20/20 2 weeks ...

I had cornea cross linking procedure here at the Chattanooga office for my left eye with Kerataconus. I can’t praise one of their technicians, Macy Lee, enough for all her help through the entire process. She worked with me over several months to get the approval with my insurance for the procedure. Her communication was top notch, she answered texts and emails almost immediately. Then once it was approved she communicated all my appointments, worked with a couple changes to my schedule, and provided all the information beforehand so I was fully prepared ...

Dr. Woolfson and his staff are extremely professional and lighthearted. He’s regarded as one of the best for a reason. His video explaining the Lasik process is informative and fun. I laughed, I cried, I questioned the meaning of our universe. It was thought-provoking, meaningful, and some might say Oscar-worthy. I could not recommend them more!

Dr. Woolfson and his staff are the best! I've had bad vision since elementary school and was always interested in Lasik but the process terrified me. I finally got the nerve to schedule a consultation and never looked back. Everyone there was so helpful, friendly and reassuring from the consultation all the way to the procedure. I could not believe that as soon as the procedure was over, I could clearly read the clock across the room and in the 4 days since, my vision has only gotten even more clear. Don't waste your time looking for another doctor. Just ...

I can’t complement Dr. Woolfson and his Team enough. I’ve spent time in his Chattanooga and Atlanta offices, and they’re first class. I had a great LASIK experience, and I highly recommend his work and services! My only regret is not having the procedure sooner. Dr. Woolfson is a tremendous doctor and even better human being.

I had cataract surgery two days ago with Dr. Prenshaw. The surgery was a huge success. Everything that Dr. Prenshaw said would happen did happen. Within 48 hours my eyesight was 90% better than it was when I went into surgery. I could see clearly, everything was brighter and the recovery was quite speedy. Prenshaw is not what I would call a warm and fuzzy kind of doctor but he absolutely is a skilled surgeon who knows his business. I would recommend him to everyone considering eye (cataract) surgery.
