so whoever the lady is that talks on the phone, yes she is very rude. I'm not the first one to say…read morethis about her. Your office charged me $40 for a paramedic needed a glasses for my two-year-old that yes my insurance did cover when I tried asking the lady to call and ask my insurance about it and talk to them like my insurance told me to do she straight up" nope I'm not calling anybody. I talked to Medicaid on a day-to-day basis and that I'm not gonna sit on the phone for two hours" so in my opinion, that is extremely unprofessional and I feel you as the owner of the should probably hire some new people because I'm literally not the first one to say this about your workers and then she made fun of you're on Medicaid like what is that supposed to mean and then she said something about I was trying to get free glasses out of them no actually I'm not. I am a struggling that spent her last $40 on a pair of glasses when I should've got them for free through my my two year-old daughter. So not only do you have bullies working for you but you have literal jerks working for you and this has been reported not only to my insurance and also the phone call has been sent over to my lawyer because what do you mean? Of course you're on Medicaid and yes I did pop off when she said that, yes I did use spell language. Yes, I did start shooting and hollering. Yes, I did not let her finish. My phone call was to simply say that I felt scammed and that my insurance said for y'all to call them and then she copped a whole attitude and started getting rude and then said that about Medicaid so I started popping off. I'm not gonna sit here and say that I didn't. I did pop off because who are you to make fun of anybody congratulations that you're able to pay for your insurance. I'm so sorry that I can't pay for my insurance and that I get a little bit of freaking help. Y'all sit here and listen to Christian music, but treat your like crap. Very typical for a Christian person

Misdiagnosed me twice, MISSED CRITICAL DISEASE!!!…read more DO NOT GO HERE!!! They Misdiagnosed my eye exam and gave me the wrong prescriptions twice! They completely missed the disease I had which was the reason my vision was blurry. I could have suffered permanent vision damage had I listened to them and not gone somewhere else. They were not apologetic at all, refused to admit any fault, and became extremely defensive claiming that I was being rude at their office when I politely explained my situation and that I wanted my money back. I came here when I noticed my vision was getting blurry. I did a full eye exam with the doctor and he said I had a slight stigma then prescribed me glasses. The prescription was wrong on both eyes. Came back a second time, prescription was still wrong on my dominant left eye. I finely went to Walmart where there the ophthalmologist there correctly diagnosed me with Keratoconus, and gave the right prescription for my glasses (Which in the end I barely need since the issue is Keratoconus). When I came back to tell them my diagnoses and ask for my money back the receptionist eventually said "We will speak to the doctor then let you know" then promptly dismissed me, by turning her attention elsewhere. When I eventually spoke to a supervisor over the phone, she told me; and I quote "I spoke to the doctor and he disagrees with the diagnosis that you have Keratoconus." Well guess what, thanks to the ophthalmologist that I saw at Walmart, I went to a specialist who did indeed confirm I have Keratoconus. Keratoconus is a progressive disease without a cure outside of Corneal Transplant. Thanks to this ophthalmologist I am now getting the treatment called corneal collagen cross-linking to stop further degeneration of my eyes. Something I would have completely missed and my eyes would have progressively gotten worst had I listened to this place. It's ridiculous that Walmart of all places had a better ophthalmologist then the "Hernando Eye Institute" but I can't stress this enough. Please DO NOT GO HERE! Not if you value your sight!

It was time for my yearly eye exam plus I was having some issues. The visit started with a wonderful greeting from the front desk. I found the young lady to be extremely pleasant and helpful. Next a very nice young gentleman took me to the back and performed a bunch of examination procedures prior to my seeing the doctor. I was waiting in the exam room when I was taken for some eye photographs. Then back to the room to see the doctor. The doctor had reviewed all my information and then wanted to hear from me about the issues I was having. After an extremely thorough examination the doctor went over everything with me. The doctor talks in plain English so you're not left wondering what all the medical terms are. Very happy to hear my eyes are in excellent condition. I do have cataracts, not at the serious point yet, which we will address in six months at my request. Not a surprise as I knew I had the cataracts. The doctor answered every question I had and I left extremely happy. When I lived in SC I used to visit the eye doctors at MUSC. This examination was the best eye examination I had since I move from SC to Florida! I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr Bottaro!!! This doctor is one of the absolute BEST doctors I have every seen. I can't say enough good things about this doctor. Oh, I did read the reviews on Newsome Eye at their other locations and I am surprised many complain about the length of time it took. Let me say a few words about time. First you should consider all respectable and caring eye doctors will take emergency eye visits as certain conditions can require immediate surgery! Secondly a really thorough eye exam doesn't take minutes! Based upon my experience I know a very thorough eye exam, for my eyes, can easily take 1.5 to 2 hours. I have been to other less caring eye doctors who give you a fast exam, answer minimal questions, don't explain anything to you then rush you out the door! If you want a thorough exam it takes time!
