However, everything about both of my visits was great! The office is nice and clean, the front desk girl is super sweet and she helps with some tests and such. Dr. Kazi was very thorough, has amazing bedside manner and is conservative in his treatment plan. I appreciate that in a Dr, as some might suggest to just cut your eye out. It is very rare to find a great, patient, and thorough Dr., that also has nice bed side manners. I highly recommend 10/10!!

Dr. Golen is originally from the metropolitan Detroit area of Michigan, and has always loved science. Throughout his adolescence, he was particularly attracted to biology and was torn between becoming a scientist or a physician. He notes that the building of community and daily interaction with patients pointed him toward medicine rather than scientific research.

I decided to move forward with the surgery and could have not been more reassured prior to the procedures or happier with the results after.

I asked if I could be the president of his fan club but I'm sure there are others vying for the same spot. Thank you for your time, kindness and expertise.

He personally called me to see how I was doing before and after the surgery of each eye. He was always willing to answer every question.

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. Most staff in plain clothes, no badges, lanyards, or anything identifying, so it's incredibly hard to tell who works here. Have been here an hour. Have almost been run down twice by busy staff busily walking very importantly.

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. What an epic failure & total waste of time!!!! Sad..... bc I actually like the Dr I saw.

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.
