Atlanta Vision Institute - Dunwoody

I had SMILE surgery done by Dr. A in late 2022, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Dr. A is hilarious, and his staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The procedure itself was quick and smooth--5/5, would absolutely recommend!

I had the most amazing, very professional, personalized five star LASIK experience at Johns Creek location with Doctor Ashraf , who explained to me every step of my procedure and what to expect, making me feel at ease , though I was very nervous at the beginning. The entire staff were so lovely and nice. Thank you guys a lot too! Procedure itself takes very short time and absolutely painless! I am happy to recommend Doctor Ashraf and his team to entice considering LASIK . I was able to read with no glasses the next day and drive the day after. Again , thank you all at The Atlanta Vision Institute!

I live in California, and I researched around for a few months to find a doctor to correct my vision. After a lot of searching, I came across Atlanta Vision Institute. After speaking with them I decided to fly out for my appointment. He was very detailed and made sure I understood the process and allowed me to become comfortable with my decision. The process was very smooth, and the team was very supportive through the whole way. I did my recovery and check ups. It's now been a year since my surgery and I couldn't be any happier with my vision. I would definitely urge you to sit down with the doctor and learn about your options!

Dr. Ashraf and his staff (I interacted with various persons individually and can say something positive about each of them) are highly skilled and easy to work with. Starting even with calls to the front desk for scheduling, my experiences were pleasant and efficient. This is one of the rare places to have SMILE done and Dr. Ashraf is respected in the field. It's worth researching if you're eligible and I went with it because the current research suggests it's less invasive than lasik, has an easier recovery, and and fewer short term restrictions on things like swimming and contact sports. It's also rare that Dr. Ashraf speaks with patients personally to answer questions and manage expectations early on, and he also directly does all surgeries. I can't comment on price or value relative to other places, because that honestly wasn't part of my process. It was only about finding the best available surgeon and facility--felt more prudent to focus on saving money on things besides my eyeballs. My eyesight is better now. Not perfect, not amazing, but good enough for me to do things like drive, hike, watch a movie comfortably without glasses. To me, this was the worth the risk and the cost. This is still less than 24 hours from my procedure, so there there may be updates in the case of unexpected adverse effects or reversion, but so far all is well. I'd recommend SMILE to a friend and would go so far as to recommend friends traveling to this specific team from other states for their work.

I could not recommend Dr. Ashraf and his team enough! My mom and I got LASIK and SMILE LASIK respectively, and the doctor and his team helped me calm my nerves, as I am usually scared of surgeries. The procedure was essentially painless, and I recovered by the next day. Thank you so much!

I had the best experience with Dr. Ashraf and his staff!! I had gone to see him for lasik eye surgery and boy, was I nervous! The thought of my eye being touched freaked me out but Dr. Ashraf was so thorough, he walked me through exactly what was going to be done and took the time to explain it to me in english (not doctor language lol) His staff is so sweet too and so personable they always remembered certain things about me which made me feel even more comfortable! The actual surgery was a breeze! took no more than 10 minutes and I barely had pain. I was pretty nervous during the procedure but Dr. Ashraf was great at calming me down and kept talking to me the whole time so i felt pretty secure and relaxed. I most definitely recommend Dr. Ashraf to anyone looking to get lasik, he is the BEST!!!

Both my wife and I had the SMILE laser procedure here. Very satisfied. Dr. Ashraf is nice, professional, and humorous. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The procedures were fast and smooth.

If I could, I would give them a ZERO. This would be a prime example of why healthcare has come down to it's grinding lows where receiving a decent treatment is more of a luxury than providing ease to your ailment :( The business model at this institute only talks wildly about monetary greed that aims to milk every penny off your pockets while filling your mind with false assurances. When I showed up for initial consult, I was very pleased to meet with Dr Ashraf and got the confidence that he would be an excellent person to work with. He very calmly helped me understand the overall procedure and determined I was a good candidate for LASIK as well as SMILE. Things started going downhill as I started working with their sales team and got a quote close to high $4k range and was told they have best pricing with nationwide price match guarantee. I was determined to get rid of my glasses and started doing my due diligence to see if I could find better pricing only to know that a renowned surgeon with 120k+ procedures in neighboring state offered the exact same procedure (blade-less LASIK) for more than half the price and when I contacted Atlanta Vision Institute they went numb and would not return my calls any more. With constant follow-ups I finally got in touch with Cecil who initially promised me of nationwide price match only to let me know that they cannot honor price match as her manager (Ms. Taylor) would not allow out of state price matches any more but they were open to negotiations and would bring down the price to $3k. Soon after Ms. Taylor calls me to cover up what just transpired of my last communication explaining there was miscommunication and starts haggling with even newer set of rules. As stressful as it sounds, I have been very disappointed with the overall experience with their sales team and would say dealing with them was no different than buying car off a dealership involving lots of back & forth, haggling and blaming misdoings on miscommunication etc. but it is awful and equally shameful that patients have to go through these money looting tactics for simplest of treatments in this day and age :( Do you due diligence before reaching out here and don't be surprised if they changed their finicky rules on you.
