    Doing procedures across from the lobby.
    Scott K.

    All Done getting zapped, Day 2 my eyes are already improving. I literally went in thursday for consult and Friday i was under the Laser. The Doctor is great and explains the process while it is happening. The staff was quick and kept asking if i had questions, i did not. I have been looking at Lasik for years now and finally had the $ to do it. I did my research and it was exactly as professional and streamlined as i hoped. The whole thing was a breeze and now I am not wearing glasses anymore. Thank you to all the staff that helped get my vision back. Do yourself a favor, get Lasik. It has come a long way and was so easy.

    You can watch! Here's Dr. Groden fixing my crappy vision :)

    I FINALLY took the plunge and decided to get my vision corrected once and for all! I have been wanting to have this done for many years and was too chicken/cheap to go for it. I went for a consultation on a Monday afternoon and they were able to schedule me for a Thursday procedure!!! That's how accommodating this place is. You can schedule a consultation online and the times are frequent and convenient. The office is located in the Bloomin' Brands building on the corner of Westshore & Boyscout Blvd at the main entrance to International Plaza. It's incredibly clean and the operating room is behind glass windows so you can watch procedures being performed from the waiting room! While some may find this a bit gruesome or too much to handle, I found it comforting as you can see how quickly everything is done and the patient's immediate reaction when it's over. No pain, all smiles. During my consultation, the staff walked me through everything I should expect and tested my eyes in many ways. I was also dilated which made it tough to drive to work after and lasted for several hours (just FYI if you are sensitive to dilation). I was told I needed PRK instead of Lasik, which I expected from other consultations at other facilities due to my thin corneas. If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, PRK is performed by scraping away the outer layer of the cornea rather than cutting it to make a flap as in Lasik. The healing period is more painful and takes longer to notice full results, but it is much safer and produces the same final result as Lasik. The staff gave me all of the info I would need to schedule my appointment and prepare for this surgery. Dr. Groden was amazing on the day of my surgery. He was open and honest about what to expect, letting me know the experience would be "weird" lol! And it sure was! Your eyes are numb and he will talk through what he is doing. You feel absolutely nothing at all and the whole thing is over in minutes. Yes, they will provide you a valium to calm you down and help you sleep later but I found it to only give me creepy dreams for a while. Anyhoo, after my procedure was done I sat up and I could see so much better already! My follow-up visit 5 days later was just as helpful with another doctor who removed my temporary bandages led me through what to expect. I was given the go ahead to drive (locally recommended only) and resume most of my daily activities. I really cannot stress how wonderful the entire staff is at LasikPlus. Of course Dr. Groden is highly experienced and went above and beyond my expectations. As did everyone in the office. Those who tested my eyes at my consultation, Sandra (who helped me schedule my appointment and went over the costs), my follow-up doctor and the delightful front desk employee Emily! Tons of smiling faces and helpful people. I would highly recommend having your corrective eye procedure done here over other places. They know what they're doing and they are extremely helpful!! I can't wait to "see" the final results as I heal :)

    Groden had an excellent bedside manner and guided me through the entire procedure, explaining and reassuring the whole time.

    Notice how his Google Maps is 5 stars and Yelp is half that, Google is a censorship dystopian…read moredumpster fire that removes legitimate patient reviews harming public safety in the name of profit so they can get Google ad money from bad businesses. They removed my legitimate review immediately. Total scum company. This business: I spent the last day thinking about my interaction here and am disturbed that the behavior others have mentioned and I experienced seems to be acceptable by this office. When I entered 3/17, I said "Good Morning". The front desk lady coldly responded, "name"? Ok... this is a basic of interaction but when someone says good morning, you should respond with morning back... When I asked questions on why my consult was $360 with insurance, she flatly said that it was my coinsurance deductible. But my deductible is 10%, so you're saying the consult cost is $3000+, it's BS. Why take insurance if you're not even running it. I was herded back to do a whole bunch of random tests that I never asked for, why are you dilating my eyes and doing an ophthalmologic work up when it was for an external skin concern...? The fact that all the patient rooms have the doors wide open and anyone can hear the conversations of each room was super weird and is not common, likely violating hipaa. Next the Doctor... Sigh. I came here for an opinion on my situation that 2 doctors also reviewed. Dr. Kwitko gave a different opinion then the 2 previous doctors and I simply had questions on the difference. He reacted to me asking clarification as like he was having his tooth drilled into.. "Why do you keep asking about skin grafts", he said? He then said I was "arguing"! I calmly responded, "I am not arguing" with you sir.. It's that 2 other very credentialed doctors, one from John's Hopkins, recommended a different thing and they THOROUGHLY examined me, so of course I'd be confused when you barely looked at me and automatically had a opposite conclusion.. His response was to jump up and tell me he "wrote a book" on this. Uh.... ok? I'm not sure how that's relevant to my concern, and it's weird that you are holding up a vague book reference as an attempt to dismiss me.. He did not review my stack of records that I bothered to bring in, it felt rushed like he didn't want to bother understanding my concern. The reason I had a botched procedure and retracted eyelid in the first place was because a psychopathic doctor in central Florida also thought he was a know it all and highly egotistical and condescending provider. He also had zero empathy for the damage he caused. I urge anyone looking to select a provider for such a sensitive area as the eyes. Make sure the doctor shows EMPATHY and can acknowledge a concern rather than to respond with snark about how he's an expert and you're an idiot for asking any question. It's the opposite, a patient should ask a million questions until they feel comfortable, that's self advocacy and being responsible. He randomly said I had pre-Glaucoma too without much explanation which was weird.. I'm sure he's great at what he does and I assume he has great outcomes, but if this guy is so miserable with his patients, it might be time to retire.. Also if there is a not ideal outcome, if this is how he treats people during initial consult, I imagine it's a nightmare to get him to be empathetic and showing responsibility to someone having dislike after surgery.. I have selected a doctor that is KIND and shows empathy and is highly trained. It feels like private practices are more concerned with money while if you go to a University clinic it's more science based which is important for something that has a cosmetic outcome. I don't know if my providers technique is going to be the correct one but I know she will actually listen to me and care about me, something I feel like is missing here. He said bluntly that insurance won't pay because it originated from a cosmetic procedure, when the University clinic I'm going to IS going through insurance. It's almost like he didn't want me as a patient. I felt like the dumps after such a hostile interaction. I fully expect them to use a paid service to remove critical feedback as others have mentioned, totally disingenuous to try to ignore legit concerns patients have. Honestly I also just think Florida allows for subpar providers to get away with stuff that wouldn't fly in other states.

    I can't completely put into words my gratitude to Dr. Kwitko for the care he provided me. Without…read moredisparaging "other" providers, until I went to Dr. Kwitko none of them provided my much needed help (And there were several others). I was fortunate to have his knowledge and expertise....thank you Dr Kwitko!!! Esther Heichel
