"I am a retired Mayo Clinic trained ophthalmologist who had a large cataract surgery component in my practice. When the time came for my wife and me to have cataract extractions, I gave much thought to selecting an eye surgeon. I selected Dr. Glenn Campbell at AVI in Williamsburg. He is well trained, intelligent, and a very skilled surgeon who has a high volume surgical practice (this is important).

My wife and I have now had both cataracts removed and could not be more pleased with the results. We are thankful a surgeon of such skill practices in Williamsburg."

"I remember immediately after the surgery... I was able to read the clock across the wall. I am sharing my excitement and success with friends and patients."

"At the age of 83 my vision had deteriorated, particularly since I lost more than 50% of my left eye sight due to an incident at the age of 62. Since then, depending on one eye only, in 2007 the Advanced Vision Institute gave me a new outlook on life. Following successful surgery, my vision in my remaining right eye is now back to 20/20.

"I am writing a follow up to share my thoughts on my experience at the Advanced Vision Institute. I had LASIK surgery on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, and I must say it was nothing like I expected! I must first comment on the overall professionalism by the AVI staff. My very first interaction was with Janet Graham, and she was better than awesome! Her personable disposition and genuine willingness to help immediately won me over. She assured me the procedure would be something I could manage, and it helped to know she had the same surgery done successfully herself.

The initial consultation was impressive too. From the time I entered the building until the moment I left, everyone was efficient, friendly, and willing to offer encouragement for this endeavor in which I was about to embark.

The surgery itself, though a little scary, was quick and simple. Again, everyone was pleasant and did a fantastic job at calming my nerves. What was most meaningful to me was the telephone call I received at home from Dr. Campbell that evening to check on my progress. Call like this for a doctor are a thing of the past and something I only see in old movies from back in the day! I was happy to report to him that I had minimal discomfort. Short of slight burning and watery eyes, I did not experience any pain or the sensation of sand in my eyes. The actual procedure was completely painless.

I want to thank the entire AVI staff for making my LASIK surgery a rewarding experience. For anyone who is contemplating this procedure, I urge them to consider your facility and know that it's a first-class operation!"
