I had cataract surgery yesterday and today. Dr. Greenwood and his staff were very efficient and informative and put me at ease in preparation for and during the procedures. I would highly recommend them.

I was extremely nervous in having Cataract surgery but Dr. Greenwood and the entire staff there made it an easy and pleasant experience! I didn't realize how clouded the cataracts had made my eyesight until I had the first lens replaced so I was very happy to receive the second one the following day. It's amazing how much clearer and brighter my vision is now. I highly recommend having the procedure done, especially by Dr. Greenwood and the staff at Vance Thompson Vision at their beautiful new West Fargo facility!

This is my 4th eye surgery, and the very first I’ve had with zero pain. I’m not kidding, the worst pain I felt this go around was the nurse sticking the IV needle in my hand, that was it. Absolutely the best procedure I’ve ever had, Dr. Greenwood is a genius.

I now have vision I never thought I could have. Dr. Greenwood was so kind and concerned about my vision. It turned out so well. I’m delighted!
