I went here after reading some good reviews and finding it close to home, for cataract surgery. I…read moreimmediately found the office girla to be cold and indifferent. I was just pushed from room to room with no explanations about anything. I was hesitant to go ahead but went in for my cataract preop, where I was informed that my copay for basic lenses with no Lazer was $1900 per eye. I was unable look this up as there is no internet in his office. I agreed to pay for one ( my bad left) eye, and wait on the other. As soon as I left the office I opened my Humana app and found that I was completely covered for a basic lens. I called Humana to double check and they affirmed and said they would be calling Dr Bellote. I then opened my surgery folder and saw that he was planning to do my good eye which would have left me in a real bind. I'm writing this in hope that I can save other seniors from getting any where near this doctor. He may have been good in the past. But I assure you that his big smile and fluffy little dog are just means of scamming old people out of their savings ( no better than the scammers on line these days)

I was looking for a top rated ophthalmologist to perform my Cataract Surgery here in Boca Raton. I…read morefound Dr. Bellotte as the highest and most rated ophthalmologist in Boca Raton on both Google and Yelp and decided to look into it. After visiting his website and reading all his achievements, I was very impressed and decided to give his West Boca Eye Center a call. They immediately scheduled me to see him and I was happy with his immediate availability. While visiting his office, I was impressed by the well designed office, the ample size of the office as well as the amount of friendly and knowledgeable staff. When I finally met Dr. Bellotte, he was very friendly with lots of expertise. He didn't push me into any particular lens or operating procedure but simply gave me options and prices accordingly for me to decide. After choosing the best lens and procedure available, with lots of pay options to choose from (went with the Care Credit Card), I booked the operation a week later and put it on the card. When it came to the operation itself, it went very smoothly, about 30mins to fill out forms, 10-15 mins for eye drops and ivy fluids, about 10-15mins for the entire operation, and then an hour or so for recovery before pickup to go home. Initial recovery after the operation was literally 24 hours, with better eye sight right away and full recovery about a week later. Each day after the operation, my eye sight would improve, and at follow up the center said no complications were present. I of course expected the best of recovery since Dr. Bellotte has been awarded a 99% safety award with his procedures. I ended up doing both eyes, and now I'm at 20/20 vision at my senior age and no need to wear glasses for both close up or distance vision, after decades of wearing glasses. I can't thank Dr. Bellotte enough for my new eyes and am recommending my son to do his Laser Vitreolysis (Laser Floater Removal) with Dr. Bellotte as well. In conclusion, after reading all the 5-star reviews, I now find myself writing one as well and it's well deserved. A+ for Dr. Bellotte and his staff from a very grateful and satisfied patient.

I've been a patient of Dr. Clewner's for 11 years, and always think, after my yearly visits, that I…read morereally need to add a review on Yelp. Even though many fellow Yelpers utilize Yelp for identiying restaurants, I'm certain some of them get yearly eye exams, and are interested in knowing about a highly qualified, board certified ophthalmologist. First of all, I strongly recommend that if you are over a certain age (maybe 40?), and/or have any medical condition which might affect your eyesights, eg, diabetes, you really would be negligent if you had your eyes examined by an optometrist, who really only speciaize in examining your eyes to fit for prescription glasses. So, go to a MEDICAL DOCTOR who specializes in the eye, and the diseases of the year, some of them which occur naturally with aging, such as cataracts. Clewner is associated with Boca Raton Regional Hospital. One of his specialities is cornea and external ocular diseases. He received his medical degree at NYU, and his ophthalmology training at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary in NYC. He has been in practice since the 1980's, is a well trained professional. And, I'm certain you'll like his "vibe". He doesn't rush his examinations, listens to any concerns or complaints you may have - actually proactively asks you if you have any. He is approachable, which is an important quality in physicians. While his practice is a busy one, appointments are not difficult to get, and if you have an urgent problem, his staff will get you in to see him that day or the next. As an example, I woke up one morning about 6 months ago with one eye totally closed and swollen. It was scary, as you might expect. I did not want to assume it was simply allergies, as there was some pain associated with the swelling. His scheduler got me an appointment later that day, and the diagnosis was an infection, and I received the required prescriptions, as well as some sample medication to get me started. So, treat your eyes as good as you treat your palate and food preferences - and only go to someone who is a professional, sensitive provider, and you'll be pleased you made that decision. His office accepts all insurance.

Dear Dr. Cohen and the entire team at Cohen Laser and Vision Center,…read moreI am writing this letter with deep gratitude and the immense satisfaction of someone who has regained a sense of freedom I thought was long gone. After undergoing LASIK refractive surgery at your clinic, I can confidently say it has been one of the most life-changing decisions I have ever made. From my very first consultation, I knew I was in the best possible hands. It is natural to feel a bit of nerves when it comes to eye surgery, but your team's professionalism, warmth, and transparency immediately put me at ease. Thank you for taking the time to explain every technical detail, answering all my questions with patience, and providing the peace of mind I needed to move forward. The Precision of the Procedure: The surgery was incredibly fast and efficient. It is clear that you utilize world-class technology combined with elite surgical skill. I was prepared for some level of discomfort, but to my surprise, the entire process was painless, and my recovery has been remarkably smooth and trouble-free. Every staff member treated me with genuine care, focusing not just on the clinical results, but on my comfort as a patient. Waking up today and seeing the world in perfect clarity without reaching for my glasses is a feeling I cannot adequately describe. Thank you for restoring my daily comfort and for the impeccable standards you maintain at your practice. I will not hesitate to recommend Cohen Laser and Vision Center to anyone seeking excellence in vision care. You are a true example of how medical expertise and human compassion should go hand in hand. With my sincerest thanks, Raycel Pupo
