Dr. Theodore Wu, MD

I had cataract surgery on both eyes last year. The results are amazing. Saw Dr. Wu for one year follow up and am always impressed by him and his staff. Dr. Wu treats you like a person, not a number. He takes his time to answer any and all questions, is thorough and friendly. I highlyrecommend Dr. Wu and trust him with my eye care.

Was taken back at the time of my appointment. Technician was very professional. Dr. Wu greeted me with his 'elbow bump' and gave me a nice evaluation of my eyes.

Dr. Wu preformed cataract surgery on both eyes 12 years ago. Before I couldn't read the large letters on a highway sign. Today I still don't use glasses to read. Nothing more that could ask than what he did. Dr. Wu is excellent!

Great surgery experience. Explained everything. Office visits were great. Never had to wait long.

Dr. Wu and his team at Virginia Eye Institute are consistently and impressively professional. I have been associated with them for several years and find them to be efficient and caring all the time. Both cataract surgeries were done with care and attention to details. I have been very much at ease with Dr. Wu and the entire team. Dr. Wu is especially thorough and clear in diagnosing and in explaining his opinions and suggestions for treatment. I am confident and grateful for the whole experience and for my improved VISION! Thank you.Sister Maureen T. Carroll, SBS

I have been seeing Dr. Wu for 4 years and I can say he is the best ophthalmologist. He is attentive to patient needs and addresses each need. In addition, he is a great surgeon, a wonderful practitioner and so nice with whom to deal. I highly recommend Dr. Wu.

Dr. Wu conducted my LASIK surgery and I’ve had excellent results. The pre-op and post-op appointments answered questions and concerns I had and everything was explained. The procedure its self went great, and my vision improved immediately.

Dr. Wu has an excellent reputation for excellence in care. He ensures you understand all that is involved with your procedure (pros and cons). He constantly monitors you during the procedure both verbally and with monitoring vital signs and other monitoring output. Follow-was empathetic and good feedback to my concerns and what to expect during healing. Highly recommend Dr Wu and his support staff.

I had cataracts in both eyes and am extremely pleased with the results from Dr. Wu and his team. Highly recommend!! UPDATE: it is now a little over 1 year since my cataracts were removed and I couldn't be happier! My vision is back and I am grateful to Dr. Wu and his staff for an outstanding job. You don't find many providers that contact you on the same day as your surgery to check on you! Very impressed and highly recomment!!

He took my cataracts off and inserted corrective lenses. I see so much better than before surgery. He listens and is kind and gentle. Highly recommend.

I went to Dr. Wu to receive lasik correction. Dr. Wu and his entire staff were friendly and very helpful, from start to finish. They were all very personable. Dr. Wu did a fantastic job with my procedure. Ive had no issues and was seeing better the very next day. He made the procedure quick and easy. He has been very informative and has taken great care of my eyes. I highly recommend Dr. Wu and his team!

Dr. Wu sees my Mom, Dad and myself. He did laser surgery on my Dad’s eyes for cataracts and he can see clearly again. A couple of months ago he did laser surgery for cataracts on Mom’s eye. She’s doing well. He’s keeping a ‘eye’ out for both to make sure they both have healthy eyesight! Always advises and lets you know of anything he sees and what options you have. He also refers you to retina doctor when needed. Diseases cause many complications of your eye and Dr. Wu stays on top of anything he sees. Top Doc in my eyes!

Recently I had bilateral cataract surgery and I cannot commend Dr. Wu highly enough for the manner in which the entire process was handled and for his attentive care throughout. He thoroughly explained what would be done. During both surgeries he was reassuring and professional. He worked well with his surgical staff and ensured I was comfortable. He answered my every question clearly and at every appointment, repeatedly asked if I had more questions. He is highly knowledgeable, safe and careful, and has an outstanding bedside manner.

Explains any and all procedures as well as options Makes sure you are comfortable with decisions Has a compassionate staff Appointment times are respected

Dr. Wu performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes. I was anxious about the surgery. When I met him initially, I was extremely impressed with his knowledge, and interpersonal skills. I immediately felt calm and comfortable with him. As a lawyer, I often ask countless questions of doctors. I have seen him about 9 or 10 times. I was extremely impressed with our discussions. He NEVER has acted like he had to hurry up with me so he could see his next patient. As a patient, I often see doctors appear to be extremely busy because they are seeing so many patients in a normal day, and they appear rushed. I consider his ability to calmly answer all my questions without acting rushed a truly outstanding characteristic. I am 76 years old, and I have seen numerous doctors throughout my life. I honestly would rate Dr. Woo as the best doctor I have known.

Dr Wu was so very nice and helpful. made the best recommendations for me. Had cataracts in both eyes and wore glasses to see. surgery was a piece of cake, no pain at all and he checked on me after each eye was done. New lenses were placed in each eye and now i can see perfectly! What a Great Experience.Thank you, Dr. Wu

I have been going to Dr. Wu for many years and it has always been a great experience. He also did cataract surgery on both of my eyes and the results were fantastic. I no longer wear glasses and I'm very happy with the results.

He managed to be personable while remaining professional. I felt completely confident in his diagnoses and surgical skills. I was extremely nervous about cataract surgery and that was addressed diplomatically. For the second surgery, I had no qualms! He also made the best choices for implants based on MY eyes!!! When I had an issue with one of the prescribed drops, HE called immediately to resolve the problem. He made himself available on other occasions as well! Unusual in today’s medical environment! I feel fortunate to have Dr. Wu as my ophthalmologist! He’s the best!!!!

Dr. Wu's whole team is like a well oiled machine. From appointment check in through my cataract surgery, everything was extremely efficient and timely. If you have an 8 o'clock appointment get there 15 minutes early because they will be calling your name at 8 o'clock!Everyone was so knowledgeable, so no question went unanswered, and I had a lot. The laser surgery was painless and 24 hours later the eye patch came off and I was amazed. I can read the tiny 4 pt. type on the eye drop bottle! I got the dual range lens so I can also read a road sign 100 yards away. By far, the most pleasant doctors experience I've ever had and the results exceeded my expectations. Can't wait to have the other eye done so this 73 year old man will have my 16 year old eye sight back.

Dr. Wu is great! He listens to my questions and addresses any concerns I may have.
