Florida Eye Surgeons and Associates

If anyone needs a great eye surgeon, I highly recommend Dr George . His warmth and attentiveness made me feel at ease. He takes the time to listen and answers all your questions, explains them so you can understand. It's the first time in 50 plus years being able to see without glasses ! Thank you Dr George!

Worst service I have had at any doctors office. Front desk staff clearly don't want to do their jobs. They scheduled me for the wrong doctor for an appointment for something I didn't even need and required up front payment. This on top of wasting 3 hours of my day when I needed to get the service I actually needed knocked out in a timely manner. Luckily the amount was refunded a month or so later. Decided to go elsewhere for future eye appointments.

I have been using Dr Sakowitz a long time and now he has retired. I went last Thursday with a horrible experience trying to get a RX for my blepharitis. It is now Monday and no Rx after several phone calls from myself and the pharmacy. My eye is terrible! I will not be returning to this practice. I don't like leaving bad reviews but this is unacceptable.

I remember when doctor offices call to remind patients of upcoming appointments. Now they just send a bill for $50. You can keep the $50 but you're never getting another cent from me. Canceling all future appointments with this place.

Dr. perez is simply amazing Because of PTSD doctors of any kind to me are very unsettling especially having in close with eyes and face. As soon as I was transparent with Dr. Perez he showed no mental health stigma he is kind and compassionate. He is always patient with me if I become anxious he stops time just for a short chat to calm my nerves. I recommend Dr. Perez to anyone especially those with PTSD I sure wish other doctors were like him. I recently went through cataract surgery and a laser treatment. During the cataract surgery Dr. Perez made sure I had the same anesthesiologist. I was only under twilight both were so kind.

The front office staff is extremely difficult to work with. These are the people that work directly with clients so you would think that they would be better trained. The Dr's staff is the very best. I worked closely with Robin (spelling) who is Dr's. Coles assistant and she was super fantastic. For cataract surgery, I upgraded to the highest lenses for both eyes. Unfortunately the right eye is still not clear. Dr Cole worked hard, post surgery, but it's still not clear. I paid almost as much in office visits post surgery as the cost of the upgraded lens. Now, more than a year out, my right eye has reverted back to pre surgery strength. I will be looking to get glasses, once again.

Today was an appointment for a first visit. We arrived about 20 minutes before the appointment time, knowing there would be paperwork. We sat in the waiting room after completing the paperwork, for 45 minutes when we decided to ask if we were forgotten, there were 6 patients who arrived after us, new and established, that all went before us. The lady with 3 inch long nails said a first visit, to evaluate for glaucoma, will take anywhere from 1.5hrs-2hrs time, even after you've been waiting. It requires a lot of testing. Her attitude was not what we needed to see or hear. Had we been told that when we got there we would have had a better understanding of what was going on and prepared for the wait, but still not happy about it. We were going to reschedule but decided not to. We got the feeling it was an imposition to reschedule. Just as we were walking out the door, now 2hrs since arriving, the nurse/tech came out for us and we told her we were leaving. She tossed the chart on the desk and walked away. It's a shame that one of the only specialists for glaucoma in the area have front office staff that act this way. Where is your HR director? Why isn't something being done regarding the way your front desk people respond and act towards your patients? Let them know what to expect regarding their appointment. Stress levels are already high not knowing what will happen. Especially since a good portion of the negative reviews you receive are about your front desk people.

I am posting for Karen B. She had cataract surgery in right eye. Dr George is fantastic. Dr. George has a awesome bedside manner. No anxiety. Can't say enough about how much we appreciate him and all of hos staff.
