I was later told this is a new location for them but still, everything looked brand new and unused. The very friendly receptionist told me that since I have a Medicare Advantage plan, it was best to make 2 appointments as one thing I needed was covered with Advantage Vision Insurance and another basic Medicare. The rules state they can't bill for both in one visit. No one has ever mentioned that before and it saved me $. After about a 2 minute wait, a tech came and got me. Started with the basic eye exam. Much more thorough than any I have had before. Techs did all the work then had me wait for the optometrist who went over everything, checked it and answered all my questions. I saw Dr. Liffland who came across as a bit of an ice queen but was amazingly patient, smart and informative. She took time to pull out of me any questions I might have. Then it was back to make another appointment for a about 2 weeks in the future. That was for a macular degeneration scan. Again, 2 minute wait before being checked out by several techs then taken into an office to see Dr. Liffland. Again, amazingly informative. I was first diagnosed with age related macular degeneration a least a decade ago so this was not my first rodeo with the procedure. Again, this time was more in depth and comprehensive than I have ever had before. Again, Dr. Liffland patiently pried me for questions or concerns and was truly informative and reassuring. I've been in Clearwater 10 years now and tried a few different places looking for the right one for vision care and now I have found it.

They are absolutely the best glasses I've ever worn. Strength is perfect and they are attractive! I totally went with their suggestions offered as I was trying frames, and the selected frames are spot on for my face. This is THE eye establishment to visit.

I had cataract surgery Aug of 2024 . I was starting to notice it was hard to read signs from a…read moredistance when driving and my eye doctor recommended cataract surgery. I did not need glasses before surgery. St Lukes told me I had to choose if I wanted to see for distance or for reading. People I knew in the past who had cataract surgery said they never needed glasses again so I was confused by this. St Lukes said if I paid approx. $4000 an eye it would cover both distance and reading but my insurance only paid for one or the other. I opted for distance due to eye doctor and doctor at St Lukes saying I needed this done or I may shortly be unable to see good enough to drive. After I had surgery done I had to get glasses to read. I had itching and discomfort with eyes after surgery which I never had before and was told to keep using eye drops for dryness. Since then and up to today, I have spots before my eyes, "rings" which obstruct my vision and constant watering, itching and eye discomfort. I am so sorry I did NOT refuse to have surgery or maybe at least only had one eye done. I still hear other say how great their surgery was that was done at another company and wish I could go back and checked out other places. This has been very hard to type even with my glasses on due to the "rings" and spots. I DO NOT recommend this facility as all they seem to care about is money. As cataract surgery can not be done again, I know this is my life from now on and it is very depressing.

I called to follow up and they never called me back. I figured they would call me when the contacts came in. Another month later I called and they would not call me back. I called my insurance company and they said a file was never claimed and there had been no pre-authorization. I finally had to go to the office because no one would return my phone call. They were apologetic and said they would get right on it and gave a few sample contacts to try until my scleral's came in. I tried the samples and called and told them which one it was and she said they would give me a few pairs for the holidays. I told her and sent a picture of which contact it was. When I went to pick them up she gave me the wrong contacts! They STILL have not returned my call, I have no contacts, I'm in glasses and have to start this process all over somewhere else. Dr. Gindi is a good OD (although I've left several messages for her and she still hasn't returned my phone call) but the place is absolutely TERRIBLE. I would definitely recommend finding another place to go to to avoid the headache.

I made an appt at Walesby based on Facebook Neighborhood group recommendations as well as the yelp reviews. Dr Walesby and the staff exceeded my expectations. I had a broken wrist at the time, and so I was thankful to be able to fill out the patient paperwork electronically ahead of time. It's a small office, so there was no wait time. In addition to my normal eye and contact lens exam, I also ended up having an ulcer on my cornea, which Dr Walesby helped me to treat with no issues. Was able to order my years supply of contacts through my insurance with them, and pick up a few days later. Glad to have found a new great place!

Today I went for a contact lens appointment... they would not even give me a firm price for the exam, other than it will be over $400+... and we will tell you what the final cost is going to be after the exam. The last time I had a contact lens exam at this practice the cost was $254. At $400, it is a 57% increase from my last eye exam three years ago. When I questioned the huge increase, I was told that Dr. Tupps kept his prices the same forever and that he did not charge enough. When I shared that that's a 20% increase per year, they again said he didn't charge enough. I left. Called another local eye doctor. My total eye exam cost, including contacts, was $215... Which they quoted me upfront. Within an hour I had my contact lens prescription and saved at least $185. We will not be back. They lost me as a customer. They also lost my husband as a customer. When I used to go to Dr. Tupps the waiting room was always packed. Today I walked into an empty, waiting room... Now I know why.

Why wouldn't you call the patients scheduled and explain the situation? People take time off work. It's just a bit disrespectful of people's time and effort. I was contacted by the office after this review. Appreciate that and the explanation of the unfortunate timeline of events. I have bumped this up a star (ok) but overall my experience was still what it was. I explained that this is an experience of over 10+yrs of my wife and I as patients. I was told the practice no longer operated as it once did which is great but not reflected the day of my visit. Willing to give them another chance and again appreciate them reaching out to me.

Read this and decide if YOU want to go a professional eye doctor's office and possibly have this happen to you, too. I stopped in after getting sushi next door and was impressed with the variety of women's frames. I made an appointment to see Dr. Maria Loulourgas. When I asked for an itemized list of things that would be included in my new glasses, Clay told me that man at the front desk (the Dr.'s husband and business manager) would give it to me. When I asked "that man" for it, (no one ever told me his name) he said our system doesn't do that." I said, "Clay told me you would give it to me." The man stood up from behind the counter and said angrily, "You're NOT listening to me!" I was shocked! um, no dude, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME! I didn't want just the receipt with lots of codes he threw at me. I wanted a receipt that shows if I have polycarb, blue light filter, anti- reflection, transitions, etc. I have always been given this at many other places in the past. Ten days later, when I went to pick up my new glasses, "that man" yelled at me again. This time he stood right next to me while I was sitting down talking with Clay, pointed his hand toward the door and yelled for me to leave. "YOU CAN LEAVE. Goodbye!!" I told him he can give me my money back and he shouted that the glasses are nonreturnable. Apparently this is the norm for him. That's just what he does. I have ready MANY past negative reviews (not here on Yelp) from customers stating he yelled at them or spoke rudely to them and that they will not return. Most of the replies to those reviews state that the yelling was the result of something the customer did. That is ridiculous. No one should be treated like that when visiting a professional office. Today, a wonderful rep. from vsp.com, my vision insurance, listened to my horrible experience and has filed a grievance against this office. Now I can be the one to say, "Goodbye!" I am so relieved I never have to go back there. Would you?! UPDATE May 29: I had to go back :-( Apparently, according to a rep from VSP, there was an over charge of $160. That was discussed over the phone with "that man" a month ago and he told the rep from VSP that he would put the "check in the mail". I never got it so I called VSP again. The VSP rep itemized everything I should have been billed and emailed me a copy to bring to "that man" for reimbursment. I bought it to him and he refused it with a wave of hand and told me to leave. (AGAIN!) He said he didn't send the check for the money owed because he told VSP to tell me to come in and he would give me a full refund. WHAT?! This is a LIE!! A rep from VSP suggested I never go back to this office. He also lied several times during our conversation. At one point he lied and said he has me on video with three witnesses that heard me say something I absolutely NEVER said. I told him to show me the video and he refused. I left after he stood up and walked away from me. PLEASE GOD don't ever make me see that man again. What an absolutley horrible nightmare of an experience getting new glasses.
