The Dry Eye Guy With nearly all 5 star reviews, what can you say that hasn't already been said? How about the little known secret that Dr Cepero is actually a dry eye specialist. For those that suffer from the affliction of dry eyes, you know that over the counter drops are merely a temporary solution, because an hour or two later the feeling of dry, scratchy, sand filled eyes comes roaring back with a vengeance! If you wake up in the middle of the night with eyes so dry, they feel like stale raisins, you need to make an appointment with Dr Cepero immediately. Dr Cepero has the patience of a saint. He won't dismiss your symptoms as exaggeration or a figment of your imagination, or just tell you to use warm compresses. Instead, he will listen carefully in order to figure out the right protocol for you to get results. By the way, they say you can judge a man by the way he treats his parents. This man is gentle and tender with his Mom and Dad, and that's how you know you found the right doctor. read more

Family owned shop that feels like you're getting great care and attention. Highly recommend! read more

The staff at Cepero Eyecare is very welcoming and professional. Their courteousness and family-like atmosphere make everything seem smooth, from appointments, exam, delivery of glasses, and follow-ups. Dr. Ernesto Cepero is a great Dr and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top notch optometrist. read more

Dr Cepero is amazing, very thorough and great doctor. The staff is great. He is also great with kids!

please believe me when I say, this is absolutely the best eyecare center I have ever been to. Both the doctor and staff are a pleasure to deal with, nice, kind, and go out of their way to be extremely customer centric. I feel so strongly about this, I created a yelp/google account, just to leave them a positive review. I wish there were more businesses like them. read more

I went in this morning for my first visit with Dr. Cepero and let me say it was great. The Dr is VERY personable and easy to talk to. He's not just going thru the motions but he really wants to make sure all of your needs are met. The eye exam took quite a while (just under an hour and a half) but I actually was happy about that because he took his time with everything and wasn't rushed. He was incredibly thorough. I would happily recommend him to anyone. It's a family business but it's top notch when it comes to comfort, quality and professionalism. This is definitely my new eye doctor for the foreseeable future. read more

I've been coming here my entire life for my contact and glasses prescription. Small, family owned business. Friendly doctor and staff. Clean office with free parking. Fast and efficient! I won't ever go anywhere else! Dr. Cepero is the best! Highly recommend. read more

Three years ago, I decided yo go to my first official eye doctor & chose Cepero for their ratings & location. I remember the Dr. being very nice & at the time, my vision did not need any correction so that was that. Fast forward to last week when I had been noticing a few disconcerting issues so I booked a new appointment. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted warmly by the receptionist ( I later found out it was his lovely mother) & can't help but look around at their array of designer & not-so-designer, yet economical frames. Once I went in to see the Dr, he immediately made me feel at ease & somehow made the eye exams fun! He answered all my questions & I felt completely comfortable with my diagnosis: I 'm farsighted & need reading glasses! Never thought the day would come but after selecting a particularly spiffy Carolina Herrera frame, I'm ok with it. Highly recommend Dr. Cepero for all your vision needs! Take advantage of the fact that they are right by "The Middle East Best Food" & take home some tasty treats! read more

Dr. Cepero is fantastic! I took my daughter, 6 years old, for an eye exam. He was so patient with her and helped make her feel comfortable. He has a great sense of humor to work with kids and is very kind. (He answered every silly question my daughter had with so much patience and humor.) I also got my eyes checked. I really appreciated that he was friendly and easy-going. He made the whole thing very comfortable. My previous eye doctor was very pushy and a know-it-all. Dr. Cepero was the opposite of this. I never felt like he was trying to sell us on anything. He was just taking caring of our needs and making sure that our eyes are healthy. We'll definitely be going back! read more

Cepero Eyecare Center - Fun for the whole family with Dr Cepero - Optometrists Near Me - Miami, Florida

Look no further this is the best eye doctor in Miami!!!!! It took me 3 years of trial and error, not to mention hundreds of dollars spent on glasses, contacts & examinations, before I found him. They are very detailed and will not let you leave until perfection and satisfaction are reached. I feel so blessed to have found this place! I feel like it has been a true miracle for me! read more

Dr. Ernesto Cepero was most gracious and professional, The staff greeted me immediately and made me feel welcome. This tends to happen with Family Businesses. Excellent Exam and explanation of procedure. Very cost friendly and on time service. Definitely recommend. My first time there but not my last. Thank you Dr. Cepero and Staff. Happy Valentines day Ladies read more

Dr. Cepero is knowledgeable, friendly, and treats patients like they are part of his family. He shows care and concern and listens to your needs. Made me feel at home and the exam felt like I was talking to a long time friend. He is efficient and thorough and listens. Thank you to Dr. Cepero and staff for an awesome visit. read more

Dr. Cepero is the most incompetent eye doctor I have ever encountered. His license should be revoked. I visited him for an eye exam in which I got a contact lens prescription and glasses prescription. I recently purchased glasses using the eyeglass prescription and after I received the glasses, I realized that there was something wrong with the prescription. I then compared it to my eye glass prescriptions over the last 5 years prior and realized that he had given me the wrong prescription. When I called to inform him of the mistake and request that he fix the prescription, he told me he would need to charge me for a new eye exam because it had been more than 3 months even though the prescription was valid for 2 years and even though he mistakenly gave me the wrong prescription. He then told me it was my fault he gave me the wrong prescription because I never gave him my other doctor's prior eye glass prescription (which he never requested). It quickly became apparent that this was not just a one time mistake but a serious competency issue. He has no idea what he is doing and he lacks the ability to properly conduct a basic eye exam. To make matters worse, he was extremely rude, yelling at me, and would not let me speak without interrupting telling me he did not want to hear what I had to say. I will be reporting him to the licensing board and BBB but highly recommend everyone avoid this business. read more

Great Eye Care! I have been to many eye doctors and Dr. Cepero took the frustration out of the process. He was through and professional. My headaches stopped with the computer use once I got the right prescription. Ana does magic when picking frames. She is a wonderful second opinion. The frames are beautiful. read more

Such an amazing family-owned business. Very professional, prudent and friendly. I recommend!

All I can say is thank goodness for Dr. Cepero at the Cepero Eyecare Center. This past Tuesday I literally spent the day in great discomfort and messing with my contacts several times throughout the day. When I awoke Wednesday morning, my eye was crusted shut. The only thing I could think of was damn, I have pink eye. I have been wearing eye glasses and contacts for a very long time and had NEVER seen a different optometrist besides Dr. Mazer in Weston. However, being very far from Weston I had to find a nearby optometrist and quick. I called several in the area and was told I would be a) charged a large amount of money for a last minute "medical" emergency or told they had no available appointments for weeks. My wife called Cepero and was able to get me in for an 11:30 appointment that day. We called our insurance company and were assured that Cepero was in network and covered by our plan. This is something these days which could lead to costly mistakes for seeing out-of-network doctors. Anyway, when we arrived at 11:30 we were informed that Cepero was not in network we were literally about to leave when Cepero offered to see us and figure it out with the insurance company as they are in network but just not for "medical" emergencies. Dr. Cepero was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and caring. He quickly diagnosed me with a Corneal Ulcer (ouch!) and provided me a prescription for eye drops. We then scheduled a follow-up appointment for Saturday which I was still worried about the insurance situation so I canceled the appointment. Instead, Dr. Cepero made sure I returned and not to worry about the insurance. I'm so glad I found Dr. Cepero as he truly cares about the well-being of his patients. This will be my new optometrist and I highly recommend anyone looking for an optometrist to look no further than Dr. Cepero. read more

Nice family owned eye care business, decent folk, decent prices, good service. They don't have a ton of variety when it comes to frames but if you are not too picky they have enough. I will be going back once or twice a year. read more

Fantastic experience. The yelp reviews were right! The doctor is funny and charismatic which really made for an enjoyable experience.

I picked Cepero Eyecare quite randomly. He was listed as in-network for our VSP insurance, they have parking, and wasn't too far from us--so I went in with no recs or reviews to fall upon. My son's teacher suggested we have his eyes checked and because he's so young it was important that the doc would be good with kids and have experience working with young elem school kids. I just crossed my fingers. Dr. Cepero is excellent. He is personable and extremely competent. He was amazing with my son and made him feel at ease and diagnosed exactly what we thought he might have--something that runs in the family. He explained everything clearly and didn't dumb anything down. I like thorough, smart, and patient doctors. His office is small but clean. It's an established family business and he continues the business after his father. The place just oozes good vibes. Because it's a family run business, I think he can take the time to go over everything in detail instead of rushing to get to the next patient as in other places that pack in appointments, valuing profit over care. read more

I've been coming here for years and could not recommend this place enough for your eye care needs. The doctor and staff are friendly, professional, and thorough. The prices are reasonable and they have a large variety of glasses. Overall always a great experience. read more

Can't really say anything bad about this place! I was able to make an appt as a new patient within the next 2 days of calling. The reception was professional and friendly. Dr. Cepero was very personable and efficient in his practice & gave a discount for my eye exam. He also gave me specific recommendations as far as using my contacts since I am a student. They have a pretty large selection of glasses, too. Also they have parking in the back! For the value of their impeccable service, Cepero Eyecare Center was not pricey at all. So glad that I found this place on such short notice! Thank you!! :) read more

There's a reason Dr. Cepero has five stars! I have had very irritated eyes for about five months. Every time i put in contacts, my eyes get red and my cornea was extremely inflamed. I had been two several different doctors and wasted tons of money on doctors who's suggestions seemed careless. I decided to search top rated doctors and read several reviews when i finally found this doctor. He genuinely cares about his clients and is not going to overcharge you. His treatment was extremely precise and he told me to call after a couple of days to check in with him before the follow-up. I can REALLY appreciate this type of customer service. If you are struggling with eye problems, do not waste your time anywhere else. read more

This place is awesome. I was getting on a cruise and lost a pair of contacts, so I needed a replacement so I could see all the sights on my cruise. After calling around to a few places, Dr. Cepero fit me in for an appointment within an hour. His prices were reasonable, he hooked me up with everything I needed for the cruise and I was in and out super quickly. If you're looking for an eye doctor, I recommend him. read more

I feel the doctor really cares. I got personalized service and time. He just invested in equipment so I didn't have my eyes dilated in order to have the glaucoma test. Yes I had to pay more to use this service. But worth it in my opinion. read more

Dr. Cepero and his team are excellent while accepting a range of health insurance options and being flexible! In particular, Dr. Cepero who has taken over the practice from his father was able to help my mother in law by taking his time and conducting a thorough eye exam while prescribing the necessary drops that several eye doctors and eye ER depts have failed to do. Thank you!! read more

Great locally, home-grown family business with wonderful customer service. Highly recommend!

Great customer service, friendly and professionalism describe Dr. Cepero. As soon as get into the office excellent customer service experience. Dr. Cepero helped me with the right contact lenses prescription for my astigmatism. read more

Dr. Cepero is the best! I came here because of the reviews and was not disappointed. He's straight forward with his recommendations and whether he thjnks certain products are worth spending the extra money on or not (when it comes to glasses). I've been here twice for an eye exam and even brought him my old glasses prescription to test out because my eyes were bothering me and again he was spot on with all his recommendations. I switched to contacts and previously had a horrible experience with them, they felt bothersome to my eyes, and I couldn't get them in very easily but the pair he picked out I barely noticed them in and his staff member really helped me learn how to put them in and take them out and now it's a breeze. Highly recommend! read more

I am not a person who writes reviews left and right, but the courteous, professional, forthcoming treatment that has been given to me demands that I do so here. I just came back from their establishment. The frame I chose was faulty. They temporarily fixed it, while ordering a new frame. They just replaced it. All of this at no further expense to me. Yes, you could expect that from everyone, but would you get that type of correct behavior everywhere? I came to them three years ago, after moving to the Miami area, as a result of searching for a reputable place. I saw the strong consumer appreciation ratings and chose them. Very glad I did. I hope to be with them for as long as possible. read more

I can't say enough about the Doctor. Unbelievable service and will explain everything to you.

I never particularly enjoyed going to the eye Doctor. My astigmatism is pretty bad and an eye appointment usually just means that once a year I'm just told I can't achieve 20/20 with contacts. Then I walked into Dr. Cepero's. He is patient and takes the time to explain everything to you. He cares about the health of your eyes and helped with my dry eyes. Ceperois a family business, and they make you feel welcome from the moment you step in. Highly recommend them! read more

My visit to Cepero Eyecare was a terrific experience! Not only is Dr. Cepero friendly which made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease, but he is also thorough during his exams and paid special attention to any questions or concerns that I had. Not only was Dr. Cepero great, but his staff was also very friendly and they were incredibly patient with me when it came down to picking out a new pair of glasses. I highly recommend Cepero Eyecare and definitely plan on going back! read more

I give Ernesto Cepero an A++++. I am very afraid of the eye doctor, but Dr Cepero made me feel comfortable and at home. :) :)

Dr. Cepero knows his stuff and was very thorough in his examination. Highly recommend.

After 64 years on this earth and receiving my first pair of glasses at 4 years old I've been through my share of eye exams and the service and knowledge of Dr. Cepero is at the top. He is very adept at his profession and skilled in making sure you understand exactly how your eyes perform at different tasks and why certain glasses and prescriptions will work better in different situations. And his prices are the same as the "quickey" eye glass places, he kept to my appointment time which is very important to m, and has easy parking behind his shop. He is definitely my eye Dr. from now on. read more

Small location, long term history in the neighborhood. I recently changed insurance and was a little scared to go to a new doctor. Doctor Cepero explained everything in detail. The place is small, but seems to be very equipped. I couldn't find a pair of frames for my taste, but either way I prefer contacts. The insurance covered a portion and the doctor gave me a discount to change the lenses of my glasses. So far, so good. We'll see as the years go by. read more

Great people service a+++++ best eye doctor in miami hands down , no one has better service or will take the time to go through every step of your eye exam and have the knowledge that Dr.Cepero has. If you need an eye doctor come see Dr.Cepero right away you be good as new. Thank you again for all your great work! read more

Dr. Cepero is the best. He takes his time and gave me the most thorough exam ever! His staff is also very friendly and helpful.

Great Optometrist and family owned business. Very friendly and personable. Would highly recommend.
