I went to this establishment expecting top treatment from a specialist, but I was sadly…read more disappointed by almost every aspect! First, my intake was ignored, as I had written down all of my allergies to not only medications, but food coloring as well! The drops used to dilate my sensitivity eyes were loaded with yellow dye #5! I noticed a white clouded effect in my vision for many hours past my 2:15 p.m. visit, well past 11 p.m. along with swelling and itching and redness that lasted into the following day! I looked up the drops used for dilation and found out they contain the dye. The woman who did my intake put the drops in minutes later! That was the beginning of my nightmare. The doctor questioned why I was using two eye drops for glaucoma when I don't have it. My previous eye specialist had me on them for years for a Condition in my right eye, after my retina tore, to keep the pressure down. This doctor wanted me to go off them for several weeks to see if the pressure went high, indicating glaucoma? No. I know my last doctor was treating me for something different. Then it came time to discuss eyeglasses. My insurance allow me one pair of glasses per year at ZERO CO-PAY! With anti scratch, tinted lenses and even progressives for nothing extra! The woman at the desk insisted that I was wrong, saying, "your insurance never gives you a free pair!" Well, yes they do and I got a pair last year for free, all the bells and whistles! Even a trip focal is covered, zero co-pay! So, I just called my insurance provider and requested a printable copy of my vision benefit and it's in black and white, FREE! BEWARE! They gave me a list of only eyeglass/ opticians they use and told me I had to pick one of them! My insurance company said, "you pick a good place you're comfortable with and takes our vision plan (most local places do!) and we'll cover the glasses 100%!" Yay me, yay to my insurance company! Thank God I knew better! Find another reputable eye specialist!

I had a follow up appointment in July which they said they in the message would be cancelled. When I called to get an appointment with a different doctor at the Macula center for my Glaucoma treatment, they said they didn't have anyone at the moment and did not know when they would have a replacement, so they could not make an appointment for me. I also learned at that time that the retina specialist who I had seen before, Dr Deupree, had left a month earlier. Is this place shutting down?

A couple of weeks later I got a text or email saying that Dr. Bovee had left to go somewhere else and so did the other doctor that worked there.

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.

I had been seeking an eye doctor - and while on a walk in my neighborhood - happened by Dr. Muller…read more I never met her - she might be great - but the experience I had with her greeter - front office was abhorrent. I walked in - smiled and asked about the doctor - The lady up front - never once looked up at me. I asked 3 THREE times as to the cost of seeing the doctor - she refused to answer except that it was covered by medicare - I still wanted to know the cost - as I'd been to a doctor this year and didn't know if they covered more than one visit. She finally responded - and then stilll never having eye contact with me - I asked when I could get in to see the doctor - after another moment of NOT looking me in the EYES - I turned and left - THEN she looked up from what she was doing. How rude - how suprising - how disappointing - I'm sad to never have even met Dr. Laura Muller. Please train your staff to show some manners and kindness - shocked at how rude - I find Tampa to be so gentile / NOT Dr. Muller's front office staff!

My optometrist recommended him to me along with my retina doctor. It's my belief that he gave me the wrong lens so that I would continue seeing the people that recommended him. I would still need glasses from my optometrist and he told me there was problems with my retina and I better see my specialist. Took me 2 weeks to get in with my specialist and I was worried about my vision the whole time. The retina doctor told me that everything was fine, on problems. I believe that's how he repays the people that recommend him. I kept asking him when my vision would get clear and he told me that's the way it's going to stay. I couldn't believe my ears. I had talked to him about how I can't wait to be able to wear my old fishing sunglasses. I just hope he's permanently out of business because he is not a good person to do something like that.

I have Medicare and usually every doctor and specialist I go to they say I will bill you once I get paid because Medicare will only pay a certain amount And I felt like they were going to try to get more money out of me than Medicare Medicare agreed on. So they sent me away when I told them I would leave my debit card with them and they could take it out in two days that still wasn't good enough. I have never been treated this way from a professional office and I have had my own business and been a manager for over 45 years rules are meant to be bent to help a client out especially since my whole family has been to Dr. Caleca for so many years 30 years, I believe or more. I was never told upfront. I was going to have to pay anything. It's one thing if I had a advantage, but I don't. I have straight Medicare and they have an agreement with Medicare and they can't charge anything so I don't trust them at all. . Just wanna let you know Dr. Caleca is a wonderful doctor. Don't get me wrong. This is not about Dr it is about who makes the rules what they give their people at the front desk and opportunity to do and I will never go back there again. It is far away and I would never treat my client like the way I was treated.

He underwent major surgery performed by Dr. Montzka, and had follow up care until December. His eye care was excellent by this group. Unfortunately the bottom part of his retina detached (a rare occurrence), and he needed a second surgery to attach the retune in October, delayed a bit due to a hurricane. The care and expertise of Dr. Montzka has restored his vision, even though a little blurry, that we feared was lost. We would definitely recommend Dr. Montzka and Gulf Coast Retina as a wonderful place to go for eye care.

First of all you are always given her full attention.. no rushing or long waits. It is her and her two Nurse practitioners , so you never see an unfamiliar face at your visits (I love that). You can tell she truly cares and takes her time and REALLY listens when you see her . What I love is she also does female exams so no seeing a separate Doctor for that !!! I am comfortable with her and she always puts my nerves at ease. They always get me in when I need and they have a patient portal for convenience, I have never not got a response with questions or concerns ,they are always on top of it. When I moved away to Massachusetts for a year I wouldn't see another Doctor I would just see her when I was visiting home. I feel like I hit the lottery Doctor wise with her and her nurses. Thank you Dr. Moss for being the best.
