However, there is a jewel in the crown and that is at 2601 S. tamiami Trail. Her name Jean Austin and she helped me with getting a new pair of glasses.

This location definitely has the best choice and superb service.

For cataracts - there's Dr. Elizabeth Davis, and then there's the rest. She's an outstanding…read morephysician who's highly ranked by US News & World Report. She's was voted #1 while practicing in Minn., MN. Her credentials are impeccable, which include graduating from Johns Hopkins Medical School. She's performed over 50,000 cataract surgeries, and her reviews are top notch. I had visited with (3) other doctors before discovering Dr. Davis - none compared. It was easy to make the decision to have her perform my surgery. She explains the different types of lenses in detail, and helps you make the right decision. The minute you meet Dr. Davis, you know you've chosen a brilliant, confident, experienced physician. The pre-op and post-op vists are thorough, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Although Medicare and insurance companies pay for most - if not all costs - make sure you meet with the billing dept. to fully understand the breakdown of expenses. Otherwise, your search for a contaract surgeon will end when you meet Dr. Davis. Note: MAKE SURE YOU SIGN A RELEASE FORM SO YOUR SURGEON SENDS A REPORT TO YOUR OPTHAMOLOGIST OR GP.

Dr. David Shoemaker owns Center for Sight which has an office in Venice, FL. My experience at that…read moreoffice has been extremely frustrating. I can never actually speak to a human being when calling. I had an eye infection and needed an appt right away. I was not able to get an appt on the phone, so I made one on their website. There was no option for an emergency appt that I could find so I had to choose the option for an eye exam. Then, I was billed for a full eye exam and since I had one a few months ago, my insurance didn't pay. I called the billing dept, waited on hold for 30", finally left a message to call me back. 2 days went by and no call back, so had to drive over to the office and found that although the office was open, no billing person was there to help me.

However, the doctor knew the one eye had blurring from the OTC medical ointment. I did not request a Refraction exam for which I was charged $75, and this is not covered by insurance. In 50 years of eye examinations, I never was presented with this kind of bill. My eyes were way overly dilated. I felt blinded by normal light, (even wearing dark classes). plus had a headache and nausea for 7 hours, even the next day. The vision examination was 20/25. 20/25 vision is considered good and very close to "normal" (20/20). But the doctor gave me a paper to take to the optician in their office. I have Intraocular Lenses that are multi focal. I do not need classes. I felt it was just a sales pitch. The cyst was treated at the end of the appointment. Please do not send the automatic apology. I will not return.

I never dreamed of such a thing: my earliest childhood memories are filled with doctor appointments and surgeries to correct my horrible astigmatism.

There are blades of grass in my yard-I thought grass was a pleasant green blur next to my flower beds. I can't stop looking out of the window. I can see! No more hauling around three pairs of prescription glasses in a giant, heavy handbag. No more glasses at all! Thank you Dr. Weinkle for your professional, caring skill and the gift of amazing vision.
