Very informative
Great results. Very professional. Highly recommend.
Dr. Prenshaw performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He took the time to explain every single detail before the procedure and talked me through each step during the surgery itself, which completely put me at ease. Highly recommend!

Response from the ownerThanks for your review. We love creating a great experience at Woolfson Eye Institute.I’m new to the Chattanooga area and I found Woolfson Eye Institute through a personal referral (the best kind of marketing). I was scheduled with Doctor Prenshaw, who took his time with me to both listen to my questions and concerns and answered all my questions. All of the staff I have encountered have been open, approachable, supportive and very helpful. I feel blessed to have discovered Woolfson Eye Institute and their staff and would highly recommend them to care for one of your most precious assets, your eyes!
The staff were very efficient and welcoming. Dr. Prenshaw was very thorough in explaining the procedure and gave me and my husband time to ask questions. He was also very kind.
I was nervous, but one of the best, Dr. Adams, sent me to Woolfson Eye Institute to see Dr. Prenshaw, and I am grateful. Dr. Prenshaw, put my mind at ease. He and his staff, especially the gentleman who conducted my pre testing, are simply amazing. All questions were answered completely and respectfully. I look forward to my next visit. No longer nervous, but at ease and full of confidence that I am in the right place, with the right doctor, for this phase of my eye care. Thank you all. The team work, really makes the dream work at Woolfson Eye Institute 🙏🏾💜
