It was an extremely unpleasant way to begin my visit and I nearly left based on her snarky behavior. One star. Fortunately things improved. Tech Shawn was so thorough and kind. He put me at ease and warmed my heart with his gentle nature. He let me know why he was doing all the checks and what to expect next. 5 stars Upon seeing her, about 50 minutes after my initial entry and preliminary exams, Dr. Kurzon was insightful and recommended a medication for eyelid that is new and could make a huge difference for my eye health. She departed the room a bit abruptly and another tech came in to lay out the tools for Dr. Kurzon to perform an in office procedure on my eye. 5 stars. I then waited for the doctor to come back, about 15 minutes. She did the procedure, then let me know verbally what I'd need to do the rest of the day and for about a week, plus pickup prescription at the drugstore. I wish it had been given to me in writing, as I was pretty anxious at the time. 4 stars. Checkout was clipped and professional. 4 stars. TL/dr: Dr (and tech) quite competent, receptionist has terrible customer care behavior.

We pre-cleared everything, agreeing to pay the non-covered refraction fee out of pocket at the time of service.Once called back, the clinic pulled a bait-and-switch: staff stated practice policy strictly barred him from getting an eyeglass prescription today unless he booked and returned for a mandatory second appointment. Refusing to complete a 5-minute refraction during an active clinical visit is an egregious waste of a patient's time. We walked out immediately.Patients should know that Winter Park Ophthalmology is owned and operated by Ascend Vision Partners--the private equity management platform built on the back of Orlando's Magruder Eye Institute. It is profoundly disappointing to see the historic Magruder umbrella associated with corporate scheduling tactics that prioritize billing volume and appointment churning over patient-centered medical care. We took all of Jim's ongoing diabetic monitoring, glaucoma screenings, and future eye care to an independent practice that respects patients. If you are on Medicare and need a glasses prescription, look elsewhere.

Its sometimes hard for doctors to put up with me and my questions. Dr. Shumski not only did great work, but was gracious about my questions and called me 3 times to answer questions. I also got several email answers. I received full documentation about the surgery and all questions/concerns were answered. His staff and associates were also wonderful.

First of all the lady knows her profession inside and out, but she treats you with kindness and respect. Everything I want in a friend. We have gone to Dr Poulos off an on as my husband's cataracts got worse and he recently had surgery to replace his eye lens. Dr Poulos consulted with us. She took the time to present the facts, help us decide and explain what would happen. Her staff is also efficient and caring. They work together like a team and the educate and prepare you for your procedure. They present you with a little kit and a folder with the exact instructions easily mapped out. Overall the kindness and caring I see in Dr Poulos is also reflected in her staff. They use the latest equipment to measure and gather the information for the procedure. They give you instructions written and verbal and call you before the appointment to make sure you understand exactly what to do. Our contact for surgery scheduling made it convenient and she was very nice as she worked to get both eyes completed before the holidays. The drops that you must buy for cataract surgery can be costly. Dr Poulos works with a pharmacy that delivers but more importantly they offer a really good discount. A co-worker went to a different doctor and paid $100 for each of 3 small bottles and my average for similar 3 bottles was $65 each. A significant savings and one I would not have known about except Dr Poulous negotiates to provide their patients an easy way to get the medication at a significant savings. The staff is really good about keeping the appointments on schedule with little to no waiting so they get you in and out. We saw another doctor before selecting Dr Poulos. They had us waiting for so long (in the waiting room and in the exam room) and when we did see the doctor we got a hard sell to upgrade out of pocket. I am so glad I checked with my friend on who she had used for her cataract procedure and was happy to get the referral to Dr. Margaret Poulos.

My husband--who isn't very good about making appointments with Dr's until there is a need--got something in his eye that is causing him a lot of pain. He called and they turned him away, saying he hasn't been there in two years. I'm super tired about Dr's not caring about patients, but rather their own bottom line. So this office is another office that just plain doesn't care. Oh... but there is more. My mother had her cateracts done by Dr Aziz at least 10 years ago and still has trouble with her eyes, then my father's had his cateracts done by Dr Aziz and sees worse now than he did before the surgeries. I do not recommend this office or Doctor and I am super disappointed with the whole situation.

There are warnings all over the place saying they'll charge you a late fee. 2 hours. It took 20 minutes to get checked in--you have to write your name down and wait for the front desk to do so.

At 10:40 I was called by the tech & went through vision tests. I was then shown to the subsequent waiting area where it is now 12:12 & I have no idea what is happening. No one from the facility comes out to offer an explanation or apology. I have never waited this long & at the 2hr mark, I may choose to wait no longer. I do not have all day to sit in a waiting room. The fact that not just me, but the other 12ppl here are being totally ignored is unacceptable & inexcusable. If this is not a one-off, I will be choosing another eye dr. Stay tuned for an update. So at 12:35 an assistant appeared & called another patient. Not me. I inquired how much longer was the wait time as I had been waiting over 2hrs. The response? Flippant & "oh, the wait is 2 1/2-3hrs. I told him he could cross me off. I went to the front desk & informed them why I was leaving & I would not be returning. I got to my car, searched another provider, & set the wheels in motion.

Dr. Sedwick has been my neuro-opthalmologist since 2014. She is a very well known and respected…read moredoctor among her peers and is involved in many academic and journal publications. That being said, she is not the bubbliest/warmest doctor there is, but she is extremely knowledgeable in her area of expertise. I am thankful, as she basically helped in saving my life, and I mean that in a literal way. Whenever she has been wrong, she admits it and when it is time to try something else or call someone else for help, she does. Her office runs like a well-oiled machine, thanks to the assistance of her office manager, Karen. The office per-se is really (like really) small, so they book only one patient at a time, and their work hours a bit odd (9am-2pm/Monday-Thursday). She only accepts patients after undergoing extensive study of your case and only if you've been referred by another specialist, meaning you will not be able to make an appointment just by calling her office. And even if you are cleared for an appointment by Karen, it will not be right away. They do take their time bringing you in. She specializes in severe eye problems which compromise your neurological functions, so she is not the doctor to call if you need a new prescriptions for eyeglasses, nor will she spend time giving you any referrals for such "trivial things". This was an iconvenience once, since I knew she did my eye exam and must have had my script, but whatever, I went to my local Lens Crafter. Anyway, if you ever have to go to a specialist, I hope you get someone that will care and treat you the same way I have been treated and cared for by Dr. Sedwick.
