THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! If you are in need of the absolute BEST-OF-THE-BEST in Eye Care, you need…read moreto go out of your way to Zephyrhills, Florida and locate Drs. Mahootchi and Huang at the EYE CLINIC OF FLORIDA. I went here after having passed by the location for 10 or more years. It's a pristine white and black building on US 301 near the corner of Eiland Boulevard. I never thought in a million years I would ever need to visit. After numerous bouts of Covid-19, everything that could go wrong medically has almost assuredly happened to me. Within the last two years, I went from being told "it looks like you may have the early development of cataracts," to "your cataracts appear to be rapidily expanding and you need immediate cataract treatment." Like so many others, I immediately set an appointment three months away for "the Big Eye Care Institute" in the Tampa Bay region. Little did I know how cold, seemingly uncaring, rushed, and very, very expensive they would be - all without wanting to check and see how much my insurance policy would cover. Would it surprise you that they came in saying anywhere from $2,500 to $4,500....per eye needing treatment? It had to be paid upfront before any additional steps could be taken. I had to find somewhere else to go, and fast! Enter THE EYE CLINIC OF FLORIDA and DR. AHAD MAHOOTCHI! You talk about a Group of Professionals amongst Professionals! From the moment I walked through the front door, every single person greeted me pleasantly and seemed to be thoroughly vested in making sure my every needs were met. I could tell they really cared about my concerns of going blind. Receptionists, Eye Technicians, Dr. Haung who consulted and worked on my case with Dr. Mahootchi, Linda in Financial Services who worked with my insurance company and booked my two surgeries, and the secondary SAME DAY OUTPATIENT SURGICAL CENTER right behind THE EYE CLINIC OF FLORIDA - and each person at that facility from Dawn the Receptionist & Scheduler, to the Pre-Surgical Team, the Anesthesiology Physician, the OR Team, the Recovery Room Nurses and even the Nurses who twice escorted me out to my awaiting wife and ride home - nothing at this REMARKABLE FACILITY WAS LESS THAN PERFECTION! I wish I could name each and every one of the people who works with DRS. MAHOOTCHI and HUANG at THE EYE CLINIC OF FLORIDA. They are all really that great, and you need to go here for any and all eye care you may need. My two surgeries lasted probably about 15 to 20 minutes each. I was lightly sedated and could walk to and from the OR without feeling any pain. The healing process involved having my eyes dialated each time, and that lasted for approximately 2 days after the surgery. However, I could see nearly 95 percent better in each eye immediately following each surgery. And no uncomfortable eye patch following either surgery. Within a week, I was back to 20-30 vision! I'd bet it's probably even better now!!! There really are not enough words to say THANK YOU to the entire EYE CLINIC OF FLORIDA & SAME DAY OUTPATIENT SURGICAL CENTER TEAMS!!! May you be as blessed as I was to discover this place and the magical and epic care provided by Dr. Mahootchi, Dr. Huang and the rest of this wonderful people!!!

I recently had eye surgery and was sent to my primary doctor who is at Florida Medical Clinic, for…read morepre-op testing. I meet with the PA. I had an X-ray and blood work. Seems according to Medicare that the blood work to test for clotting was not submitted/coded properly & they refused coverage! How in Gods name can Clotting properties not be covered for surgery is beyond me. I called spoke with Florida Med. which referred me to Medicare who said FMC didn't code the bill properly and should have noted that it was surgically related & "medically necessary". Well Florida Medical said they would review it. Then called a few days later to say the would not resubmit as they didn't deem it necessary! Fla. Med. submitted the bill (according to Medicare) claiming I signed a "advance notification of non coverage" (which I am going to insist on seeing). That being said, why would FMC even do that? I have a call in to my primary to ask why her billing department is refusing to do their job and code this blood work as "medically necessary"...I'm waiting & will update! It's Friday, how much do we want to bet I won't hear anything!! Update, I received no call back from the doctor. I will be calling first thing Monday morning. If I don't get a response I will be going down there in person. Will update.. I did hear on Monday that the claim would be resubmitted after my doctor was consulted. I think its odd that Medicare would reject blood work for surgery. But hopefully this will be the last of this issue. Update:1/4 It was NOT handled. Now had to go over the entire issue again. Still FMC refuses to address resubmission of the bill to Medicare w/proper code and explanation! I have a MRI scheduled, if this issue isn't resolved, I am cancelling & finding a new provider no associated with FMC!

Overcharging for services…read more My account was charged using a CPT code for a "non-manipulation treatment," resulting in a total charge that grossly exceeded what other reputable medical offices charge for the same service. When I disputed this excessive charge, the Billing Supervisor, the person with a professional interest in collecting the money--was the only individual allowed to review and confirm the charge was "correct." They provided no independent patient advocate for oversight, which is standard practice elsewhere. Patients paying out-of-pocket or with high deductibles should seek alternative providers with more equitable fees.

When I made the appointment they asked if I would be ok without meds until then, I had just picked up my last script so I was. Day of appointment: Didn't get to see the actual Doctor for a initial visit. Brought all my previous MRI results that were less than 2 years old. Filled out all the questionnaires and stated what was going on. Nurse seen : Ethel Smith She smiled after our conversation and said, did you expect to get meds today? Even gave a little chuckle, she stated that my pain was not that bad and that I was too fat. No meds were given but she is sending me for more MRI's knowing that I am a self pay without insurance in Florida as of yet. That could cost me anywhere up to $5000.00 I wouldn't recommend this office although the front staff seemed helpful. In the process of finding a new pain management place now but wihout insurance until January it is going to prove to be difficut to say the least.

Wildly my dad and my sister were both admitted on the same day. My dad's nurse Greg was less than…read morestellar. More worried about his ego than doing his job correctly, Greg noted my dad had an issue with his pacemaker on his chart. My dad does not have a pacemaker. When I told him he had the wires from a previous heart surgery replaced, he insisted my dad had open heart surgery and not a replacement. Excuse me?! I was with the man on Monday for the surgery. Then he placed an IV line that was faulty and far more painful than it should have been. When the techs at CT pointed out they needed a new line, his ego again took the lead and he had to "prove" he did it correctly which the ENT who was in charge of transporting him pointed out blew the vein. Apparently it took getting a new nurse at shift change to get a correct chart to be made and the transport to actually happen. Once she came, everything moved swiftly and with accurate information. Care for my sister was equally good. Great communication and nurse Paul was excellent. Greg needs to check his ego at the door and put the focus on his patients.

I couldn't get a hold of the one they recommended, so I was able to get my primary to do an order to see Dr. Citrin. He came into the exam room and literally said "So you ended up in the ER due to leg swelling, but that has nothing to do with me, and it's not my problem. Go see your Cardiologist, it's his problem not mine." He never looked at the paperwork, never examined me, never let me ask any questions. The last thing he said was "You're probably in Congestive Heart Failure, but like i said, that's the Cardiologist's problem, not mine.' When I saw my Cardiologist 3 weeks later I told him that Dr. Citrin said I'm in Congestive Heart Failure and I asked if that was true. The Cardiologist said "Absolutely not true at all. There is nothing wrong with your heart, and you actually did better on your stress test this time than the last time a few years ago. You are a low risk for heart problems." Avoid Dr. Citrin like the plague

I paid up front and a few weeks later got my explanation of benefits from my insurance. They had over charged me $370.00. I called them for a refund they said you have a credit on your account. I told them I wanted the money not a credit. This was in October it is now December, 2 months later and I still don't have my money. Called numerous times and no one will call me back. I have been getting the run around. This is totally unacceptable, then I asked for the number to where their billing is done and I was told, they can't give out the number. What kind of stuff is this? Never heard you can't call someone to inquire about money they owe you. Now we know if the shoe was on the other foot, the would be harassing me on the phone and my account would be in collections. I will not make any appointments in the future until I receive the explanation of benefits from my insurance. That is if I even decide to keep this dentist. This is total CRAP.

RELIEF! This experience was tragic for us. But their experience & confidence in what they do made…read morelife so much easier for us to endure through the process beginning to end. My husband had surgery Dec 8, 2016. Before going in he had been having very high blood pressure, had several episodes of kidney stones, was in chronic pain especially his heels, knees, elbows & wrists, he battled chronic fatigue, sleep apnea, heart burn & extreme moodiness. Up to being on the stretcher going into surgery I requested pillows to help prop up his knees & lay across his lap to rest his hands on to try to make him more comfortable which he still was NOT. After going back to prep for surgery, have surgery & wake up in recovery approx an hour my husband was in better mood! He had his IV out & was talking. I asked him if he needed his pillows back & he said he was fine & wasn't hurting at all. When discharged a couple hrs later he was ready to eat! We went back to the hotel by shuttle & ate in their restaurant. He ate mild hot wings, blacked fish & seasoned veggies with lemonade to drink. Fasting for surgery and being about 4 pm (this is food & drink he generally can't tolerate on a normal day!!!) I was surprised he did well. When we got back to the room we played a full game of rummy with him wide awake (out of character with his usual preference to nap without being in surgery). After the game of cards he wanted Pizza so I ordered a pepperoni Pizza with great warning! But he tolerated it!!! That night he tried to get us up & on the road to head back to the Panhandle of Florida which took us 6 hrs to get there due to road construction & heavy steady traffic. When we got home he proceeded to go out to work in his garage! He has surgery less than 24 hrs ago. He has so much energy compared to before. He (we) now sleep all through the night without to 10-20 episodes of apnea that waked us up before each night. His blood pressure is now within normal limits & NO MORE bone & joint pain. He had a small growing lesion above his left eye lid for a solid year BUT it disappeared. I am hopeful he won't have anymore kidney stones. My happy, friendly husband is back! He had been missing for 12-14 yrs! This group of persons that work there were all extremely kind & informative. They answered questions I did not think of yet. The doctors are extremely confident about their knowledge & surgery of the Parathyrold. While we were there waiting for him to come from surgery we met people from New York and out West. One had previous surgery at a Mayo clinic but they were not complete in their surgery & she needed another so they referred her there. I am so THANKFUL for their practice & expertise! Worth the surgery!!!!!
