I have corneal eye issues, and I have always been treated very well by this office. I see Dr…read moreMittleman and Dr V. This past week,on a Sunday ,I woke up with a very painful eye, I had scratched my eye in the night and I had an abrasion and it was killing me! They went to Great lengths to get me in right away. I called them late Sunday and they said call back early Monday, but they called me first and got me right in. Dr V saw me three times and alleviated my pain and fixed me right up with drops. I was very grateful that they saw me right away immediately, knew what it was and prescribed the right medicine for me and got me out of my burning pain with speed! I went to his offices both in West Palm Beach and Jupiter, and everything went very smoothly. Marla Kletter

I knew I needed to find a new eye doctor this year, but I had no idea a corneal ulcer would be the…read morething to bring me into the doors of Mittleman Eye. As a millennial who still relies on friendly reminders from my mother to make sure I'm taking care of myself, I booked an eye exam with For Eyes thinking I'd get a quick exam, a contact lens prescription for the year, and be good until the following year. Boy was I in for a surprise. I left For Eyes with $79 spent and a bad contact prescription I could barely see out of while driving home. When I called for a follow-up to fix the prescription, I was given an appointment further out than I preferred, especially since I was out of contacts and only had one ill-fitting pair. The next day at work I began to feel irritation in my right eye, removed my contact for relief, and the irritation persisted. I knew MedExpress or a walk-in clinic wouldn't help, so at 7 a.m. Wednesday I logged into my insurance platform to find a more well-versed eye care facility. Mittleman Eye came up in my search, and by 8 a.m. I was sitting in their office prepared to figure out what was going on. The facility is beautiful, well staffed, and very clean. I was greeted by friendly employees and felt like my issue was handled with thought and care. My appointment wasn't rushed, and the doctors and nurses quickly identified my issue and offered solutions to address my eye pain. I was diagnosed with a corneal ulcer in my right eye, and the doctors were very informative about what treatment would look like over the next few days and they started me on antibiotic drops. Around 7 p.m. Wednesday, I realized my prescriptions still hadn't been filled. After calling the pharmacy, I learned they weren't processing it because the number of doses per day was missing. I called the emergency after-hours line, worried I wouldn't be able to continue antibiotics until after work the next day. Not only did a doctor call me back within the hour (8 p.m.), he called Publix pharmacy directly, and they had my prescription ready in 10 minutes! Just in time for me to pick it up before closing and get a few rounds of drops in before bed. My follow up appointment today was scheduled for 2:30pm. I was seen by the doctor around 3:50pm. An excruciating wait but I was notified that they were behind when I was checked in. However, when I was seen I experienced the same informative, kind and friendly service as before. Although having a corneal ulcer is one of the worst imaginable experiences, Mittleman Eye has handled me with so much care. I am incredibly grateful I found them. Once my eye has healed, I fully intend to remain a patient and receive my ongoing eye care here.

I have been here for 2 years with 3 different specialists…read more You can check in early by your phone or when you arrive. I just wait until I am there . A person assists you for the check in acknowledging and signing and gives you a wrist band. There are 2 sections that I know of downstairs I have gone to and upstairs has two other areas for images and physician visits and a pediatric wing . They forewarn you that you are expected to be there 2 to 4 hours and it can be more. An assistant tech,nurse always comes first and asks questions to evaluate. After the doctor comes in there can be fellow students at times as this is a teaching hospital. They have a snack cart to choose a snack and beverage since you are there for so long if needed. The also offer coffee, hot chocolate, and tea. A charging station is available is some waiting areas . I did get a biopsy done last year in the outpatient with some amazing nurses at the begining to keep me calm . There was one at the end that just wanted to push me out saying it is not all day just in and out, even though I did not feel ready to get up. I was diagnosed with an eye disease on top of another issue I went in for initially. I am being treated for this so I have follow up visits Plan to spend all day. They have an optical center on site for those who wish to get glasses there too. A pediatric wing is also available. It is very easy to get to as it is right off of turpike exit of Palm Beach Gardens. Alot of parking up front and a drop off undercover for those who need to be dropped off.

The following morning I saw a resident Victor Sanchez and the experience was a nightmare. He decided to do work on my good eye for what he claimed to be a potential minor tear in the retina. I now have vision problems in my right eye. His bedside manner was horrible. Avoid.

I had LASIK done here and I honestly feel like I was sold a procedure instead of being properly…read morecounseled as a patient. Before surgery, I only needed glasses for night driving. I did not need readers for my phone, computer, or daily work. My job requires me to be on a phone and computer about 8 hours a day, so near vision is extremely important to me. After surgery, my near vision is significantly worse and now I need readers just to function at work. Never once was it clearly explained to me that correcting my farsightedness/distance vision at my age could make my close vision worse or cause me to need readers. If I had been clearly told that, it absolutely would have affected my decision. In my opinion, the office seemed much more focused on selling me LASIK than making sure I fully understood the risks and lifestyle tradeoffs. This was not a small detail -- needing readers all day for work is a major change in my quality of life. I understand there is a healing period, but my issue is with the lack of clear counseling before the procedure. Patients deserve to know if a surgery could leave them worse off for the things they do every day. At this point, I am requesting my full records, including my consent forms, pre-op prescription, surgical target for each eye, post-op measurements, and any documentation showing whether readers, presbyopia, monovision, or blended vision were actually discussed with me before surgery. Very disappointed and would strongly caution anyone considering LASIK here to ask very specific questions before agreeing to anything.

Don't go to this place they have no doctors there so if you have an issue, no one will help you. I…read morehad eye surgery and all they did was split me from year started to farsighted and now I have to wear glasses. I've tried to get multiple appointments to be seen and they have nothing available and there's never a doctor there as well as no one returned your Call from the call center. Aftercare is horrible. They just take your money and shove you out the door.

After checking my eyes, I was informed that the prescription for the glasses I was wearing were a little too strong. The doctor informed me that everything look good and he would not do any additional test because the nerve and eye pressure within the normal range. He did not try to milk the insurance company by doing unnecessary test and exams. It is very reassuring to see medical staff doing only what's necessary not trying to run up the bill. I highly recommend this establishment.

I told him that it looked red on the bottom of my lid and that it seems to be getting worse. He said it might be cellulitis of the eyelid and if it gets worse to call tomorrow for an antibiotic. My swelling got worse over night and this morning I call to explain the issue and they tell me that he is not in the office today. I was very upset. I spent 200 dollars on a visit and the best I got from the staff was they would let him know when he calls in. Why didn't dr Khouri let me know that he wasn't going to be in?? The staff is telling me I can have him prescribe an antibiotic in a couple of days. Are they kidding me??? Cellulitis is not something to mess around with and it needs to be treated promptly. Needless to say, I am very very upset with the care I received in this office. Should I receive my antibiotic today, I will gladly change the review. Because then it Means that dr Khouri did as he promised and I did not waste $200 for a visit without receiving the correct treatment.
