The only reason I go to Clay Eye Clinic is because of Dr Jack Donovan. They are all friendly, precise and thorough

Downer was able to put me on a reasonable regimen and talk me through all the questions I had!

This will be our 4 or 5th eye specialist or group we have seen in the last year 10 years. We have…read moretried Vision Works, Sear Optical, Pearle vision, Lenscrafters and a few more specialist before coming to Clay Eye. We did not know what to expect so I am not expecting too much. It is just our annual eye exam. The waiting area is cozy. I was expecting something bigger. I spoke before the reception did. I had additional paper work to do as wifey did hers online which I thought I did but I guess I did not. Donovan, the precursor to the MD was direct and to the point. My eyeballs wanted no more opening once he finished the few exams before seeing the MD. I had him laugh when I said, what does the MD do, you did it all! Dr Green was the best of the best. He had a good bedside manner and left no stone unturned. I do not need glasses but was told to book a 3 month followup for glaucoma as a precaution. Clay.Eye has a couple of locations, Fleming Island, Orange Park and of course the Mandarin location. Wifey loved Dr. Green as well.

I'm impressed with Clay Eye Mandarin on San Jose Blvd. I had dealt previously with Clay Eye in…read moreFleming Island and was quite satisfied but having moved, I wanted to go somewhere closer to my current location. It was easy to transfer records for my husband and myself and set up appointments. I dealt with Dr. Green and Dr. Pecoraro for exams and with Ms. Katie and Mr. Kevin for opticians. All the staff were very cordial. I just picked up my new glasses and it's a joy to have better vision.

I went to the Emergency Room last night for a vitreous hemorrhage. The ER doctor referred me to Dr Downer, advising me to let them know I was in the ER and I needed to be seen by him today. The person answering the phone was unconcerned with that and went straight to who my insurance was with and then told me she wouldn't schedule me without a referral. I'm retired Air Force, have excellent health insurance, and can get a referral easily from the Naval hospital nearby. Instead of scheduling me while I worked the referral part, she refused to do anything and wouldn't listen. She was curt, argumentative, and unfriendly to an almost hostile degree. I will go downtown Jacksonville before I go to this place which was right down the street. I'm thinking doctor offices like this have more business than they need, and clearly that's all their patients are- just another person to make money on. There is zero concern to be helpful for patients at this location. Incidentally, my referral came through while I wrote this review and I'm now calling an eye surgeon who has a staff that is less abrasive.

just now New Beyond…read moredisappointed by the Orange Park location. My GSD has been diagnosed with Pannas. I was heartbroken and scared not knowing what the future holds....... The interaction started off well as originally my appointment was 5 weeks out. I was on a cancellation list. They called 2 separate times to move my appointment up which I was thrilled. I then received the new client paperwork via email. I noticed it said ..... Our lobby is currently closed in the Orange Park location to provide a safe & stress-free environment for our furry friends. When in reality they share a building with a dermatologist and they don't allow dogs in the building except in the back and exam room from what I was told. I can't say my response was the best as I did say....... Well that's Bullshit. You bring your dog to an eye specialist, you are supposed to keep your dog out of the bright light and we wait in our car or sit on a bench outside? I was taken back with the office answer that you have to just that. I said well it doesn't matter my dog needs to be seen so I'll be there. Well this is the kicker, I get an email stating.... We are writing this letter in regards to your relationship with our veterinary practice. We made accommodations for Cassie and prioritized her when we had a cancellation for Thursday understanding the urgency in her being seen. After your call back stating your disapproving views on our lobby policy, we have decided that you may find better accommodations at another facility. One of the most important criteria for the delivery of veterinary medical care from veterinarians and staff members at this facility is a polite, effective, comfortable, and open avenue for communication. Unfortunately, your interactions with our personnel today have made it impossible for the doctors and staff here to communicate with you in that fashion. As a result of this, we will be unable to provide medical care for your pet(s). Ideally, we recommend that Cassie see another ophthalmologist. There are ophthalmologists available in Gainesville that are highly recommended or we recommend searching ophthalmologists at the ACVO.org website. You may also continue care with your primary veterinarian. We wish you and Cassie nothing but the best. Kind Regards, Animal Eye Clinic Not even signed with a name!! I called apologizing for what they perceived but was stressed and didn't understand how a specialized eye dr makes their clients wait outside. I'm sharing this out of transparency. I took this as was blown out of proportion!! Then again maybe I dodged a red flag with 3 cancellations in just a couple hrs!?!? I pray no one at this clinic has a situation like the one I experienced with them
