My husband and I decided to go to Visionworks for our glasses again because the last time we were…read morethere three years ago they had a huge inventory of glasses that were reasonably priced to choose from. I called to make an appointment and was told that to pick out glasses no appointment was necessary. I was also asked if we had our prescriptions for our glasses which we did. So we headed right down. There were two people being waited on in front of us when we walked in. We were greeted and told we could browse the eyeglasses while we were waiting our turn to get fitted for glasses. After a few minutes both of us had decided on the frames we wanted. We were called over to the desk by Jasmine. I went first since my prescription isn't as complicated as my husband's. In about ten minutes Jasmine reviewed my prescription, looked up my insurance benefits and discounts, fitted me for my bifocals and took my payment after my insurance benefits. Then she worked on my husband's trifocals. Again in ten minutes she was finished. Jasmine had great customer service. She was also very knowledgeable about the glasses and our insurance. She told us that we would receive an email when we could come back and pick up our glasses. We both received an email in approximately two weeks that our glasses were ready for pickup. We went back and the final fitting of our glasses took less than five minutes. We are extremely happy with their customer service and their products. We will definitely go back next time we need new glasses!

Was told the glasses would take three weeks to arrive because of my prescription, though I've never…read morehad to wait more than two weeks and I've had the same condition since I was a child. Three weeks came and went and nothing happened. I called and one person told me it would be another couple of weeks while another said a couple of days. Well, it wasn't a couple of days. Another week went by and still nothing. I called again and was told a manager would call me back. That did not happen. I called once again and was told I would have to wait nearly another week for them. That is nearly five weeks! I cancelled my order. Stay far away from this place!

Misdiagnosed me twice, MISSED CRITICAL DISEASE!!!…read more DO NOT GO HERE!!! They Misdiagnosed my eye exam and gave me the wrong prescriptions twice! They completely missed the disease I had which was the reason my vision was blurry. I could have suffered permanent vision damage had I listened to them and not gone somewhere else. They were not apologetic at all, refused to admit any fault, and became extremely defensive claiming that I was being rude at their office when I politely explained my situation and that I wanted my money back. I came here when I noticed my vision was getting blurry. I did a full eye exam with the doctor and he said I had a slight stigma then prescribed me glasses. The prescription was wrong on both eyes. Came back a second time, prescription was still wrong on my dominant left eye. I finely went to Walmart where there the ophthalmologist there correctly diagnosed me with Keratoconus, and gave the right prescription for my glasses (Which in the end I barely need since the issue is Keratoconus). When I came back to tell them my diagnoses and ask for my money back the receptionist eventually said "We will speak to the doctor then let you know" then promptly dismissed me, by turning her attention elsewhere. When I eventually spoke to a supervisor over the phone, she told me; and I quote "I spoke to the doctor and he disagrees with the diagnosis that you have Keratoconus." Well guess what, thanks to the ophthalmologist that I saw at Walmart, I went to a specialist who did indeed confirm I have Keratoconus. Keratoconus is a progressive disease without a cure outside of Corneal Transplant. Thanks to this ophthalmologist I am now getting the treatment called corneal collagen cross-linking to stop further degeneration of my eyes. Something I would have completely missed and my eyes would have progressively gotten worst had I listened to this place. It's ridiculous that Walmart of all places had a better ophthalmologist then the "Hernando Eye Institute" but I can't stress this enough. Please DO NOT GO HERE! Not if you value your sight!

Was seen yesterday. Very clean and nice office, friendly staff, and thorough doctor. I would…read morerecommend going here is you need to be seen by an ophthalmologist.

Extremely pleased and happy to have a new eye doctor at this location. The practice is now Newsom…read moreEye. Today I had the pleasure of being examined by Dr. Bottaro. It was time for my yearly eye exam plus I was having some issues. The visit started with a wonderful greeting from the front desk. I found the young lady to be extremely pleasant and helpful. Next a very nice young gentleman took me to the back and performed a bunch of examination procedures prior to my seeing the doctor. I was waiting in the exam room when I was taken for some eye photographs. Then back to the room to see the doctor. The doctor had reviewed all my information and then wanted to hear from me about the issues I was having. After an extremely thorough examination the doctor went over everything with me. The doctor talks in plain English so you're not left wondering what all the medical terms are. Very happy to hear my eyes are in excellent condition. I do have cataracts, not at the serious point yet, which we will address in six months at my request. Not a surprise as I knew I had the cataracts. The doctor answered every question I had and I left extremely happy. When I lived in SC I used to visit the eye doctors at MUSC. This examination was the best eye examination I had since I move from SC to Florida! I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr Bottaro!!! This doctor is one of the absolute BEST doctors I have every seen. I can't say enough good things about this doctor. Oh, I did read the reviews on Newsome Eye at their other locations and I am surprised many complain about the length of time it took. Let me say a few words about time. First you should consider all respectable and caring eye doctors will take emergency eye visits as certain conditions can require immediate surgery! Secondly a really thorough eye exam doesn't take minutes! Based upon my experience I know a very thorough eye exam, for my eyes, can easily take 1.5 to 2 hours. I have been to other less caring eye doctors who give you a fast exam, answer minimal questions, don't explain anything to you then rush you out the door! If you want a thorough exam it takes time!

So on their website it says that this provider takes VSP but when you call the Brooksville…read morelocation, they bait and switch you and say "oh no, we only take VSP at our Carrollwood location." Very misleading on their website since VSP is on their list of all insurance they take. What a joke.
