Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Poor communications
Eye exam was adequate but seemed rushed. Prescription for eye infection not covered by my insurance. Contacted several times to received different prescription. Adverse reaction to 2 medications prescribed and did not return my call ever after waiting weeks for a response. Will not go back.

Dr. Frenkel Visit #2
Dr. Frenkel was prompt & courteous. He performed his eye examine and presented me with the conclusions which in this case is watch and see concerning Macular Pucker and also gave me information regarding the Cataracs which are now developing, but not yet impairing my vision. So with that information I will be confident for another 6 months and will see him then. Thank you, Dr. Frenkel.

I had SMILE in Jan 2022. It went really well. I am used to be extremely near sighted, but after surgery, my eye sight was instantly better. It's almost three weeks later, my eyes feel so normal and my eyesight is pretty good as well. Thank you for all the technicians and surgeon. The surgery itself is painless and really quick.

SMILE Procedure
Dr. Frankel made me feel very comfortable during my SMILE procedure. His calmness gave me confidence that he was going to do a great job. I have been very happy with the results!

While I only met Dr Joshua Frankel for a brief time during surgery he was very friendly and calming. He did the SMILE procedure on my eyes and one day post op and healing is off to a great start and I have 20/20 vision!

I WOULD HAVE THE SURGERY AGAIN TOMORROW!!! After an extensive office exam, lots of research, webinar, asking questions etc, I choose Wang Vision Institute. DR. FRENKLE replaced my dominate eye lens with a corrective distance lens. I am So THRILLED!!! I followed the pre-op and post-op eye drops regimen and have had no problems! Thank You Wang Vision and Dr FRENKLE!!! Office staff and surgery center staff were both polite, informative and helpful in every way!

It is life changing to wake up and not have to deal with contacts or glasses. I went from being very nearsighted to 20/20 vision with the SMILE procedure. Wang Vision Institute made the process so easy and their team is amazing! Scheduling is simple, everyone is super nice, and they are sure to keep you completely informed of what to expect next.

Dr. Frenkel performed my SMILE surgery and I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome. He was kind, knowledgeable and I felt comfortable entrusting my vision to him. He did an excellent job, and I can now see without glasses or contacts. I am so thankful that I chose Dr. Frenkel for my surgery and so glad I decided to have this surgery done. I would recommend Dr. Frenkel and Wang Vision Institute to anyone looking to have top notch care!

Dr. Freckle completed my smile surgery at Ming Wang Institute. He was amazing!! He was honest and encouraging. He and his assistant coached me through the whole process. They were truly amazing and I got my Eyesight back! I was 20/20 the very next day. My vision was horrible! I highly recommend him and Ming Wang Institute!

I came into Wang Vision Institute for getting lasik done and I have the privilege of dealing with Dr. Frenkel. Dr. Frenkel made the procedure less concerning and fast. He did an amazing job on my eyes and actually cared of my well being as well. I highly recommend anyone looking for an vision expert near the Nashville area to check out this institute. You will not be disappointed!

Went in for a consult for corrective eye surgery and was able to get SMILE surgery the same day! Everyone in the office was super friendly and helpful. I was originally interested in lasik, but their team was able to answer any/all questions I had about SMILE surgery and the outcome has been amazing! Would highly recommend Wang Vision Institute to a friend. Dr. Frenkel did a great job making me aware of what he was doing as well as keeping me calm and focused throughout the procedure.

I'm excited to say that I drove my car for the first time in over 20 years without contacts or eye glasses thanks to my Lasik surgery that occurred 10/4. I was able to read the road signs the very next day, which is amazing. I highly recommend Wang Vision Institute. I was so nervous and the staff and surgery team were so kind and very caring. They certainly helped keep me at ease the entire time. And, later that night, I received a text from the doctor checking to see how I was doing. Impressed with the outcome and definitely impressed with their care.

Had an amazing experience with my SMILE surgery! I went from extremely poor vision to virtually 20/20. It didn't hurt and every effort was made to ensure I felt confident and comfortable during the operation. They followed up with a wellness call the night of the procedure just to make sure everything went well. Highly recommended!
