My husband and I came here for our annual eye exam. My husband has been here in the past but for me…read moreit was a first time and now this will be the only place that I come. First the OA, Alyssa, that worked with us at the start was amazing. She was extremely nice, patient and also knew her stuff. Felt very comfortable with her. We will ask for her every time we come in. Then the doctor was very professional and also explained the prescription to us. Already have our appointment booked for next year.

10 stars! First, the place is gorgeous. Amazing waiting room with floor to ceiling windows looking…read moreout over a pond. Spotless. Looks brand new and unused. 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 highly recommend anyone with eye issues to come here. I started coming here when I lived in…read moreTarpon Springs because appointments were easy to make and it was close to where I live. I have since moved to the Carrollwood area but because of the treatment I got here, I will always make the drive up. The first thing I really appreciated was the early morning appointments ( They start at 7:30). I was battling a major eye infection and these appointment times helped me work around my work schedule quite easily. The staff is very friendly and accommodating . Wait times are kept to a minimum and it's a very easy process to check in as well as check out after your appointment is done. The best part is Dr. Kolodner himself. He's very professional and is not afraid to tell you the truth about various eye conditions ( I'll never wear my contacts for too long again that's for sure!). He's also extremely helpful in determining treatment plans while not destroying your wallet if at all possible . Although I hope my eye issues go away, I'm glad I have a place to go to where I feel I'm getting the best possible eye care.

There are no words that adequately describe the professionalism of Dr. Kolodner and the competency of his attentive staff. I find him to be very personable and an extremely thorough and caring doctor. I can honestly say that Dr. Kolodner always goes above and beyond what is required. A rare gem!

In 2018 during a routine eye exam for glasses I was informed that I had glaucoma. I had heard the…read moreterm but really didn't know anything about it. Well I was in need of another pair of glasses so I made the appointment and was told that I had glaucoma. I told the Dr. that I had already been treated for it so there must have been a mistake. When I left I was angry that I had been led to believe that the glaucoma had been taken care of two years prior. I had started to have difficulty seeing and that is one of the reason I made an apt for new glasses. I immediately called Florida Eye Specialists and explained that I had laser surgery performed by Dr. Luxenberg in 2018 for glaucoma and was now being told that I still had it. They scheduled an appointment for me to come in and I told them that I would not pay for the office visit which my co-pay is quite expensive . I had to leave work to go for this appointment and the first thing that happened was they tell me my insurance wasn't accepted there. Okay, I thought it was the same insurance I used in 2018 however; it shouldn't matter since I thought they understood that I wasn't going to pay the co-pay for an evaluation. The front desk person went to get the Doctor who proceeded to tell me that glaucoma is not curable only treatable and that he would never tell a patient that it was curable but would have to be treated probably for life. I explained that after my treatment he had me coming back for follow-ups and each time he said that I was healing nicely. After the third follow-up and being told that everything was good I stopped the follow-ups. Not once did he ever tell me that I would have to continue to come in for check-ups since this is a non-curable disease. He never had me sign any papers acknowledging the seriousness of this and the follow-up care would be probably life long. He stated once again that it wasn't curable for which I told him that being the doctor he should have told me not expect for me to know. I also explained that I had been having problems with my vision and was concerned that I could lose my eyesight and felt fortunate that I hadn't up to this point. He finally said that it was to bad that they didn't take my insurance or he would take a look at me. He was more concerned with getting paid then trying to reassure or help a patient. He finally said that he would see me and that it was a 300.00 value between his services and that of the front desk. I felt like I was on a game show. I told him that it would be no good to see him since it wouldn't accomplish anything. As I turned to leave I heard the woman at the front desk yell have a great day in that sarcastic tone. So if you want to go to a Dr. that cares more about money than the care of his patient or that would barter his services or allow his staff to make sarcastic remarks then he is the doctor for you. He is just lucky that I didn't lose my eyesight or I would be consulting an attorney. I still might given the fact that I have been having trouble with my eyesight and what I have already lost can' be recovered.

Dr. Robert Weinstock and his staff gave me the gift of clear vision. For that I am eternally…read moregrateful. The level of organization and professionalism is outstanding. The office environment was courteous and friendly. A most pleasant and successful experience.

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 was referred here by my eye doctor due to some lattice on the edges of my eyes & I'm so happy…read morewith the service I received here. The office was easy to find and there was allele parking right around the building. The receptionist got me checked in quickly, and I was seen right near my scheduled appointment time with light much wait. Thankfully my lattice is not a major issue at the moment & we'll just be monitoring at this point, but I had an extreme reaction to the dilation & the staff was so attentive & careful. The technician, assistant, and doctor all periodically checked on me, assisted with elevating my legs, and ensured I was okay as I dealt with some severe lightheadedness, dropping blood pressure, and paleness. I don't get my eyes dilated often (less than once a year) & have never had a reaction like this before, but the team here made me feel safe the whole time. When my body finally leveled itself out, I was still seen in a timely manner, and the technician and doctor again were very attentive to my physical state after that reaction even as they performed the exam & went over the details about the lattice. I'm so thankful my primary eye doctor referred me to such a great location!

I don't know what is going on there. I had been to see Dr Bovee many times and was under her care…read morewhen I got a text message saying she was leaving to join another practice out in Brandon. 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?
