Doctor/Patient LASIK Testimonials

Len Cruz, MD
Neurosurgeon / Cumberland Medical Group
My glasses were always getting in the way, so I decided it was time for LASIK. As a brain surgeon, the quality of my vision is vital to every surgical outcome. That’s why I chose Dr. Stewart. Now my vision is 20/15, and I never have to worry about being distracted by my glasses during surgery. Thanks, Colby!

Brian Gerndt, MD
Vascular Surgeon
I trusted my eyes to Dr. Colby Stewart. He was the only surgeon in the area offering blade-free, all-laser LASIK. Now, I can perform my surgical procedures without glasses or contacts. Thanks for the 20/15 vision!

Lorraine McDonald, MD
Internal Medicine / Cookeville Regional Medical Center
I’ve been most impressed with the little things, like being able to wake up and see individual leaves on the trees. Or, since I play hockey, I don’t have to worry about my glasses fogging up while I’m on the ice.

John Turnbull, MD
Orthopedic Surgeon / Cookeville Regional Medical Center
When I decided is was time for LASIK eye surgery, I trusted my eyes to Dr. Colby Stewart. After a five-minute, blade-free procedure, my vision is now better than 20/20!

Brad Seitzinger, MD
Internal Medicine / Cookeville Regional Medical Center
I can see great now! I would recommend Dr. Stewart to anyone that has an interest in LASIK surgery.
LASIK Patient Testimonials

Randy Webber
LASIK Patient
After wearing contacts and glasses for almost 25 years, I decided to look into LASIK surgery. Several of my co-workers and family members had the procedure with great results. I’d heard about Dr. Colby Stewart on the radio, so I called for an appointment. Dr. Stewart's staff performed the most complete eye examination I have ever had and determined that I was a good candidate for LASIK, so I scheduled my surgery for January 10th.
On the day of my surgery, I was a little apprehensive, of course. The whole process took well under an hour: One pill to relax and some numbing drops for my eyes; one machine (the IntraLase laser) to make the corneal flap; a few minutes of rest; a second laser to make the specifically programmed, custom changes to the cornea tissue; and voila! The procedure was virtually pain-free, and I was sent home to sleep the rest of the day.
At my follow-up appointment the next day, my vision was already 20/20 (what some people call “perfect” vision). At my 1-week, 1-month, and yesterday’s 3-month checkups, my vision had stabilized at a solid 20/15! Better than perfect!
This is absolutely the best investment I’ve ever made for myself. No more contacts or glasses!!! Fortunately, I had money in my cafeteria plan at work at the end of 2006, so I was able to carry it over to 2007 and use both years’ funds to pay for everything. Dr. Stewart offered an 18-month same-as-cash deal, as well!
Dr. Stewart's staff was wonderful. They have perfected the whole process so well that there is no wasted time, no stress, no unnecessary waiting, and no feeling of being hurried or rushed – just plenty of friendly smiles and an eagerness to make the client comfortable. All the while, I felt as though I had joined some exclusive club. What an exciting, life-changing experience!

Bill McCurdy
LASIK Patient
With Dr. Stewart’s knowledge, skill, and keen eye, and the Will of God blowing my way, everything went painlessly, quickly, and successfully. The whole time in surgery took no more than ten minutes. On my left eye procedure in July, I don’t remember a thing because of the anesthesia.
This time, for some inexplicable reason, I remained conscious through the whole thing, but still experienced no pain or apprehension. I trust Dr. Colby Stewart...

Herb Roland
Investigator / Warren County Sheriff's Department
LASIK surgery is probably the best thing I have ever done for myself. In my line of work, glasses are a risky thing…one wrong move in a confrontation, and you’re in a bad spot. I’ve recommended LASIK to several deputies in the department.

Karen Knowles
Advertising Coordinator / The Herald-Citizen
If I had known what my outcome was going to be, I would have had LASIK done a long time ago. I would recommend it to anybody that has to wear glasses or contact lenses. It’s so nice to wake up in the morning and see the alarm clock!
Joyee French
LASIK Patient
I have never had such wonderful care as I have experienced with you and your staff for my eye surgery. Thank you and God bless you.
