This is for "Retina Group of Florida" at the 1370 East Venice Ave SUITE 201 Venice, Florida 34285…read more Beth Richter, MD, PhD was the doctor assigned to my uncle who had cataract surgery when he was over 80. The phone number 941-412-0303 is not compatible with landline phones. Since December 21, 2024, I had been trying to get a hold of someone in this office. (I did realize I first tried to call on a Saturday so no one is in the office). However I showed up to this office in PERSON on Tuesday Dec 24th, and they were closed. I get it Dr. Richter is busy and works out of different offices, HOWEVER their phone service needs to improve. If you don't call from a SMARTPHONE they do not answer. FINALLY today I got a hold of MAC (or MACK) wanting to speak to Dr. Richter (and at first THEY did not know who that was) I was calling on behalf of a sensitive topic regarding my uncle, and she was so rude. Dr Richter may be a good doctor, however YOUR FRONT OFFICE STAFF REPRESENTS YOUR BUSINESS, and I was told DR. RICHTER would not take my call at all today. Even if I called back within a half an hour, or at a more convenient time. THIS OFFICE NEEDS A BETTER PHONE SYSTEM THAT WORKS WITH HEARING IMPAIRED LANDLINE PHONES. If they want to serve the older generation, (Our greatest Generation) then you still need to be able support the older generations technology and not just take their money.

I wanted to share some POSITIVE things about SRI…read more I was warned in advance that my first visit would be very long...and it was. They ran a large number of tests to determine what was causing my double vision/nystagmus. Now my visits are shorter. I have learned to ask questions to understand what is going on and the progress being made. My vision is much better than it was, and prism glasses are a godsend. I have not experienced rude staff. Rikki is German and she is a little gruff at times but I have respect for all the things she does and tests. I like Dr. Levy very much, and he is highly respected in the field of ophthalmology. We are lucky to have neuro-ophthalmologists in this area. even if the staff are a little snippy at times.

I didn't do it, went for a neck specialist and had ultrasound done, no inflammation visible. Besides that, practice is very dirty and unhygienic. Dust and smears all over.

From my very first appointment at Center for Sight over a decade ago through surgery and…read morepost-operative visits, I have been extremely impressed with this practice. The physicians are knowledgeable, skilled, and genuinely caring. They take the time to answer questions and explain treatment options to ensure each patient has the best vision possible. The medical care has been outstanding. I recently needed surgery and it was performed with exceptional professionalism, and everything went smoothly. The post-surgical follow-up has been just as impressive, with careful monitoring, thorough examinations, and a staff that is always available to answer questions. Everyone in the practice--from the physicians to the technicians and office staff--is friendly, courteous, and efficient. It is clear that patient care is their highest priority. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking outstanding ophthalmologic care. Center for Sight's expertise, compassion, and commitment to excellent outcomes make them truly exceptional.

I made an appointment for the Bradenton office 3 months ago on my way out of an appointment at the…read moreSarasota office, to be seen by Dr. Abrams. I asked twice about making sure it was for the Bradenton office which is closer to my house. The receptionist assured me it was on the books. However, when the day was approaching, last Thursday June 4, I had not received any notification to confirm this appointment. When i phoned the office they did not have any appointment scheduled for me at either office. However, this receptionist did seem concerned that it had not been scheduled as I see the Doc every 3 months. She worked her magic for me to be seen Monday June 8th, thank goodness. I think there is a disconnect with staff and scheduling in either office. I see other reviews that complain about staff. I could voice my opinion about the receptionist who did not make my appointment but I'd rather compliment the staff member who worked me in. I hope this does not happen again.

Warning to new patients:…read more This has to be the most pretentious doctor's office I have ever encountered. I have had appointments, cancelled, and rescheduled with prominent doctors all across the country in major cities that are trained in some of the best programs in the nation, but this small town doctor with unimpressive credentials is unreal with his pretentious policies and inflated ego. I called the office to make an appointment, and I was told it takes six weeks to make an appointment with him because "so many people are waiting to see him." Fine. I make the appointment. A month goes by. Two weeks before the appointment I have to leave town for work. I call the office two weeks ahead of time to say that I need to cancel my appointment, and that I will reschedule once I know when I'll be back. I am told that as a new patient you are not allowed to cancel your first appointment. If you do, then you will NEVER be allowed to make an appointment again. This is a direct policy from the doctor. I am then informed, that new patients are allowed to reschedule one time on the spot, but they are not allowed to cancel first and reschedule later. I told the receptionist that I did not know when I would be back in town, and that it would be better if I just called at a later date when I could be sure. I am then told again that a cancellation is not allowed, and that if I proceed with a cancellation I will never be able to book another appointment. The reason I was given is because they held this spot for me and "so many people are waiting to see the doctor." This is absurd. If so many people are waiting to see the doctor then they should have no problem filling that spot immediately. Furthermore, I have never experienced this extreme of a cancellation policy with any office in my entire life. Cancellation policy is usually one, two, or three days ahead of time. I called two weeks ahead of time. That is more than plenty of time. This was not a last minute cancellation. Furthermore, how can a doctor's office expect a patient's schedule to never change? Especially when you make them book appointments six weeks out. People have lives and work. Now, because of this, I will never be allowed to make an appointment with this doctor for the rest of my life. Even if I need medical eye care, this doctor will refuse to see me because I cancelled an appointment two weeks ahead of time once because I had to leave town for work. Consider yourself warned potential patients. This is the most ridiculous and draconian policy I have ever heard of.

I can never actually speak to a human being when calling. I had an eye infection and needed an appt right away. I was not able to get an appt on the phone, so I made one on their website. There was no option for an emergency appt that I could find so I had to choose the option for an eye exam. Then, I was billed for a full eye exam and since I had one a few months ago, my insurance didn't pay. I called the billing dept, waited on hold for 30", finally left a message to call me back. 2 days went by and no call back, so had to drive over to the office and found that although the office was open, no billing person was there to help me. I will be looking for a small locally-owned clinic to avoid the headaches of this large corporation.
