Patient Testimonials

Apryl Sweat, Medical Field

"I had surgery in 2008.  I began having difficulty with my vision when I was in 2nd grade.  I was 35 years old when I finally made the decision to have the LASIK procedure.  I work in an industry that restores hearing through a surgical procedure, but was always very uncertain about having surgery myself to improve my own vision.  I could not be happier with the decision I made.  I travel quite a often with my job and had difficulty even with corrective lenses seeing road signs, particularly at night.  I struggled with reading menus on the wall in cafes and wore my contact lenses to sleep in for safety reasons....I really could not see at all without them. I was to the point where my eyes were beginning to become unhealthy because of the way I abused my contact lenses.  If I had to do it all over, I would have the surgery again though I would not have waited so long.  Dr. Bodenheimer and his staff are excellent! They talked me through the procedure and helped me remain calm.  Dr. Bodenheimer asked to pray wtih me prior to the procedure as well.  I was immediately at ease.  I would highly recommend this facility as well as this procedure."

Michael Keeney, Knoxville Ice Bears

"I am writing to express my satisfaction with my recent LASIK procedure at TVLC.  Dr. Murchison and his staff were extremely helpful, informative and easy to work with during the entire procedure.  I would highly recommend his services to anyone who is tired of their prescription eye wear.  I no longer have to worry about  "tired" dry eyes from contacts or finding my glasses.  I simply wake up and go about my day.  I would like to thank Dr. Murchison and his staff for their efforts."

Whitney Holmes

"My 'new' eyes make me feel like a new person.  I promise to never take my eyesight for granted! Before my LASIK surgery, I could not even read my alarm clock without picking up the clock and bringing it to my face.  Also, my contacts would often be itchy and get dry at night, making me tired.  Now I can always see what time it is...and I have more energy at night because my eyes aren't bothering me.  I also see more clearly! It truly was a magnificent life change. Thank you Dr.Froula."

Johnny C. Lane, Construction Worker

"I had one eye blinded in an accident and had to wear glasses just for the one eye and I disliked them, for they interfered with my work." "This procedure has given me a new outlook on life."

Mae King, Marketing Director

"When I heard about LASIK, I didn't hesitate to make an appointment with Tennessee Valley Laser Center. While I was apprehensive about the procedure and was fearful of surgery, the staff calmly assured me that everything would work out for the best. As promised, my surgery went smoothly. After just 30 minutes, I walked out of the office with a new view on life. I had no pain or side effects and, in fact, experienced improved vision as soon as I returned home."

Joy Vaulton, Administrative Assistant

"God was with me when I chose Tennessee Valley Laser Center. I could not be any happier with the professionalism and bedside manner of both my surgeon and the staff. They were all so patient and willing to answer all of my questions. Tennessee Valley Laser Center was an excellent choice and I will refer to them to everyone I see (and you know I can see them extremely well!!! I am 20/15".
