Not only did she chastise my choice for the second opinion but further jeoparidized the Hippaa/privacy laws which were srictly tohave been enforced.

They have a bunch of TV monitors in one of the waiting rooms. They are all playing an ad for TCL televisions. Over and over again, repeating every 30 seconds. It becomes extremely annoying. Most of the physicians are great. I appreciate their help and support. But this group needs someone on staff to address the patient experience outside of the care from the doctor.

The medical care is good but plan on spending several hours there. My husband had a scheduled…read moreappointment for a regular check up. Our appointment was for 3 pm. We arrived at 2:45 pm. Did not walk out of the office until 5:10 pm. We understand that sometimes emergencies happen that create longer wait times but this is a regular occurrence at this institution. Today they apologized for the long wait times blaming it on the leaving snowbirds trying to get their last eye exam in before returning home. Well that's absurd. Who scheduled all those snowbirds. They certainly didn't just decide to walk in and demand to be seen. Someone is responsible for the over scheduling. Maybe they should re adjust the time allotment for each patient as the current scheduling procedures are creating long and unnecessary wait times for each patient.

The office practices are the reason for downgrading them by one star. On my first visit, I didn't care for the hard sell at check out. Dr. recommended warm compresses as part of my eye treatment. They offered a $20 eye mask for this purpose...um, how about a warm washcloth? It seems many doctors here in Venice have the same upselling thing going on so it must work. Just not with me. My second visit was in February, a big mistake with all the snowbirds and I waited for 2 hours. Other doctors manage this "season rush" much better. Really no excuse for this.

I was able to quickly get an appointment. Dr Kane was extremely professional in his explanation of my issues and very compassionate to my feeling vulnerable being out of state. When I mentioned that I felt like I was leaving all my lifelines in Florida, Dr. Kane made it his mission to get me quickly seen by a neuro ophthalmologist in Illinois. I will be forever grateful for the comprehensive care I received from Dr. Kane and his staff.

Dr. Mercandetti is the best doctor you could ever want taking care of you.. He takes time…read morelistening to you --no rush at all. I was referred to him by another Venice physician who described him simply as "brilliant' in his field. I found this to be true after rrying many other places. His wife, Laura, operates her business, NuView Aesthetic, in the same office with the best personalized facials, top skincare products--and numerous up-to-date procedures and equipment. She offers so many alternatives and is very good at explaining which is best for you. The front office treat you very well and are organized. Everything about this practice is AAA+. I am grateful I found them when I moved to Venice from NYC. I would not see another practice after trying others. I highly recommend. You will not regret it!

He literally lost his mind and flipped out including MOCKING ME when I asked a question. His arms were flailing and was behaving in a such a crazy manner I had to flee the office in fear of what he may do next.

Beware of this doctor!!!!!

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Mark Johnson and his staff for my recent cataract surgery…read more At 72 years old with a very delicate eye condition, I was extremely nervous but Dr. Johnson put me at ease. Not only did I have a very mature cataract, but I was also extremely myopic with a -25.5 prescription - the highest on record at his office. This elongated eyeball made measuring for the precise intraocular lens (IOL) challenging. The measurements showed I needed a special 3-piece lens rather than the standard one-piece. Additionally, a previous eye surgery had replaced my vitreous with liquid, which raised concerns about whether it could adequately hold the new lens capsule in place. Despite the difficulties, Dr. Johnson promised improved vision but was upfront that he couldn't guarantee perfection. I appreciated his honesty. On surgery day at the Sarasota surgery center, the nurses were incredibly kind and attentive. They made sure I was warm and comfortable throughout by frequently providing heated blankets tucked around me at my request. After the surgery, I was overjoyed to be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts for the first time since getting my first -4.50 prescription at age 9! Dr. Johnson even called later to check on me. I am utterly thrilled with the results. Dr. Johnson's skills and his perfect lens selection have given me a new lease on life being able to see with my own eyes at my age despite my eye's complexities. I'm so grateful! Highest recommendation for Dr. Johnson - simply the best!

His staff treats you well while you are deciding/paying (and all $ is collected in advance). They say, "he is your surgeon for life" and that all aftercare is included. Well it is NOT. If you have pain, problems post-surgery (a few months after) they tell you (me), all we can offer is to inject botox at $600 per treatment. The work looks pretty good (there were 2 small flaws that he declined to fix telling me eventually it will all go away) (yes it will when I die!)... But in hindsight, I'd say he pulled the skin too tight, cut deeply into nerves that never regenerated. After the fact, people told me, there is a difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon... well, I didn't do enough research in advance, and pain is now part of my life pretty much 100% of the time. Thanks Doc and staff.

With my second experience Dr Fezza was a real sight saver. While vacationing, I crashed my bike and fractured my eye socket. ER stitched me up and told me to see a surgeon right away to keep my eye from sinking into my sinus. No doctor would see me because I had no insurance at the time. Even though I was 600 miles away I called him and he told me he would do the best for me that he could and work out the cost. I was scheduled right away and the surgery was a great success. I got the needed follow up visits. He is an exceptional plastic surgeon and ophthalmologist with a sincere and caring manner.

I have VSP for me and my husband (who is also on Medicare but no vision insurance. This becomes relevant later on.) My exam was fine, dr was nice and they told me I had the start of a cataract that just needed to be monitored. I pay for the $39 retina scan not covered by insurance that I agreed to. Fast forward to this week and my husband (who has Medicare Part G and is on MY vision insurance) has his exam with the $39 retina scan. He and the dr talked about his dry eyes (that he DOES NOT take any meds for other than OTC stuff). She said she could write a prescription if he wanted her to and he declined. She said he had the start of a cataract and that it needed to be monitored (sound familiar?). Said "he did not need a lens prescription, just use readers". Same exam, same diagnosis as mine. His vision is better than mine as a matter of fact. He gets to the front desk, and they charge him the $39 and then proceeds to tell him he owes $220 because the exam became MEDICAL?!?! Where did it become medical on his when mine wasn't? He argued but finally just gave his debit card to pay (#1 mistake. I would have walked out and said bill me!). They KNEW he had the G plan, so they will be committing Medicare fraud by billing them AND receiving pay from us. I will be filing a complaint on that. Julie didn't bother to return my call, so I had to call them again just to listen to her lie to me again. "He has SEVERE dry eye syndrome (no he doesn't, he rarely uses eye drops anymore), he had a "freckle" in his eye (so what?), he has a cataract that impedes his vision (no he doesn't and if he did why did the dr say he didn't need a prescription or refer him to an ophthalmologist?) They are unscrupulous and I would not do business with them ever again. I will be posting to all social media sites as well and will contact the BBB along with Medicare. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND DO NOT USE THEM!
