    Seems very disorganized. On my first visit, that was scheduled weeks ahead of time, I had to wait…read more30 min. just to find out IF the Dr. was going to see me for a basic glasses/contact exam. Then they didn't even bill my vision insurance (after I paid the co-pays in the office) and sent the bill to me! It took 4 calls to their office and lots of time on hold to find out their ridiculous billing error. On the plus side, the nurse/optician who did my intake exam was excellent.

    What a terrible experience! Several years ago, I went to Community Eye centers of Port Charlotte…read morefor dry eye. I don't remember the Doctor' name but he referred to their Dry Eye Clinic in North Port FL they really didn't fix the problem; they just told me to use warm compresses and don't touch your eye lids. I told myself that I would never go there again. I searched for an Ophthalmologist that wasn't at Community Eye. I found Dr Taibe and made an appointment. When I pulled into the address it was Community Eye Centers building! When I checked in, I told them I wasn't happy with my previous experience, but I was reassured that they were under new ownership. I should have walked out and paid the 50.00 co pay! The first appointment in Port Charlotte I saw Dr Taibe for the lid surgery and dry eyes. At the first visit with Dr Taibe gave me a discount coupon for Pataday. Dr Taibe said he didn't do eye surgery and that Dr Rubio could help me with my eye lids and the dry eyes. Pass the patient games begin. I was referred to Eye Associates of Fort Myers FL from Eye Associates Port Charlotte FL to see Raul Hernandez Rubio, DO for an eye lid lift. At the first appointment with Dr Rubio, I was given an eye drop to open my eyelids to see if they responded to that medication and they did. I was given 1 sample to try "several times" in the next two weeks before my next appointment. I asked the nurse how am I supposed to use these eye drops several times when the sample is a onetime dose? She said use it multiple times "wink wink"? I thought how will I be able to keep a onetime dose clean and not spill the remainder? Of course, the remaining sample spilled. I don't understand that If I was to do several trials of this eye drop, I was only given one sample able to use! I had to wait 2 weeks for my next appointment! I also asked Dr Rubio about the dry eyes and he told me he could refer me to another Fellow! It was a game of pass the patient! At the second appointment (another 1 hour drive each way) I was sent to a financial councilor. I notified him that I was in a clinical trial for a GLP-1 medication. He really didn't understand that it was a double-blind study and that no one knew if I was getting the real medication or a placebo. He collected 700.00 prepaid for my procedure and surgery center. On the way home he called me again and he told me he went to "upper management" about the clinical trial and I had two choices, quit the clinical trial or get the surgery. I informed him a second time that my doctor would authorize stopping the medication a week so that I could get the procedure. Then he called me a second time to ask me if I was diabetic, I informed him I was not. He probably should have asked me when I was there! At the third visit an hour away I was given a field of view test. the same test I did a few years ago at the Port Charlotte location! I asked why did I have to drive an hour both ways to get this test! I was told that the same doctor that is doing the procedure had to do the test. I stated you are all the same company! I could have done it in Port Charotte near where I live! Finally, after the third visit, I was sent to another councilor to schedule the actual surgery. I was given a surgery date on 12-30-2025. This surgery date was delayed was because I had to wait two weeks for "one sample" eye drop appointment. When trying to schedule the 12-30-2025 surgery I told the councilor that I had a cruise scheduled for January 3 2026. She informed me that there are restrictions for exposure to salt air and sun, I made a confused look at her, then she left to talk to Dr Rubio. She came back and told me that I had to be available to see Dr Rubio for two weeks after the surgery and that my only options were to cancel my cruise or reschedule after the first of the year. I had met all of my deductible for 2025 and didn't want to have to pay that all over after I had so many hours and visits. Finally frustrated beyond belief I told them to cancel the surgery and that I would find a competent Doctor and facility to get my procedure done.

    Dr. Scott Geller is a highly regarded ophthalmologist and my experience found that he is incredibly…read moreprofessional with proven and precise surgical skills that are well known in and around the Southwest Florida area. Dr. Scott Geller is a compassionate and understanding surgeon who focuses on patient care before, during and after treatment. Dr. Geller performed cataract surgery on my right eye so this testimonial is recent as of September 16, 2025. Dr. Geller's has a highly attentive and dedicated team, specifically, Ashley, Alex and Donna who assisted me with all of my administrative needs from scheduling an appointment to providing needed insurance documentation such as after the fact itemized bills. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Scott Geller for all of your ophthalmology needs. Dr. Geller has been recognized as one of the "Top 10 Ophthalmologist in Lee County Florida.

    I was recommended to go see Dr. Geller after having cataract surgery from a very large local…read morecompany in our area. I had many floaters in my eye, and they could not help me any longer. So I made my appointment and meet up with Doctor Geller he is very thorough and after seeing what my problem was he explained what needed to be done. He also has an amazing group of ladies that definitely knows how to treat his patients. So after two hours of testing, Dr.Geller and I have another little meeting and decided that he would start the procedure. Which was two treatments. And tell me to come back in six months after my second procedure. Which was yesterday, I told him my left eye was 80% better. And I could live with it if I had to but I would prefer to be 100%. He told me to leave her alone. He felt that he couldn't make it any better. He also told me that he felt that I didn't need cataract surgery and that I should've gotten a second opinion! And that he would see me again next year. I couldn't believe my ears ! This is an honest man !!! I feel he's a very kind and trustworthy Doctor and I would recommend him to anybody. It really touched me yesterday for a specialist to tell his patient how he really felt about another specialist in the area who has a very huge and large practice! That you should've got a second opinion when you be going to a very large firm in Fort Myers for a few years and you will believe what the doctor tell you because say your doctors. ( at least that's what I believe if I'm going to use the doctor I have to believe in them or I shouldn't be going to them) anyway.thank you all for listening to me and I highly recommend everybody and anybody reading this to use Dr. GELLER and his staff . He truly is a caring person! And a Doctor that tells the TRUTH, Thanks again, Doc. see you next year, DF
