I was able to get into central Florida eye clinic within a few days. My first thought was, it's possible that the practice isn't great with no waiting for an appointment. However, everything about both of my visits was great! The office is nice and clean, the front desk girl is super sweet and she helps with some tests and such. Dr. Kazi was very thorough, has amazing bedside manner and is conservative in his treatment plan. I appreciate that in a Dr, as some might suggest to just cut your eye out. It is very rare to find a great, patient, and thorough Dr., that also has nice bed side manners. I highly recommend 10/10!!

If you are looking for the best eye doctor I have ever encountered look no further. Before I met…read moreDr. Mehul Patel I was very unsure about getting eye surgery. Once I met him I no longer felt like a number or a means to an end. I decided to move forward with the surgery and could have not been more reassured prior to the procedures or happier with the results after. The care he took was short of unheard of, down to the drop schedule he provided me. He is surely one of the best. I asked if I could be the president of his fan club but I'm sure there are others vying for the same spot. Thank you for your time, kindness and expertise. You are very special and I hope your students learn everything for you.

I had my cataracts surgery in both eyes and I will say it has been the best investment I have done overall. Going from 2.5 prescription for reading and also needing glasses to see far away, now I can see 20/20. Best experience ever, always receiving the best care from Dr. Patel. He personally called me to see how I was doing before and after the surgery of each eye. He was always willing to answer every question. When I went for surgery I was sure of what I wanted and what to expect. The results were outstanding and far better than I expected. The staff was awesome! A+++

From the office in Oviedo, Florida, founder Dr. Jeffrey R. Golen, MD, and the team specialize in comprehensive ophthalmology to provide their patients with the best eye care possible. Dr. Golen is originally from the metropolitan Detroit area of Michigan, and has always loved science. Throughout his adolescence, he was particularly attracted to biology and was torn between becoming a scientist or a physician. He notes that the building of community and daily interaction with patients pointed him toward medicine rather than scientific research.

Dr. Perez did my iridotomy 6 years ago. He has a natural calming manner about him (I explicitly…read moreremember this bc I was absolutely terrified!) and is willing to spend the time with you to make sure you're comfortable and you understand your procedure well. Fast forward to today, I asked to come back in to see him bc my eyes were bothering me (light sensitivity, eye pain/throbbing), and I was worried that my iridotomy didn't last. After a full exam, he determined that everything looked great and my eyes issues are due to dry eyes and he prescribed eye drops. Never once did he make me feel like the idiot I wanted to feel like, but truly, I'm just thankful he was able to see me again and alleviate my nerves. I would absolutely recommend him and his staff to anyone needing his services!

New year, new glasses. But likely won't be returning. The practice is large, but the staff does do…read morea good job to make you feel like you are the priority. That said, as mentioned in other reviews it is an expensive place when it comes to products and while they do provide you a bare bones Rx they won't give you additional info to allow you to safely obtain (glasses, etc) from other affordable options. This signals that the focus is indeed profits over care, with care focused only if you're paying beyond the base yearly visit. Prepare to spend a few hundred out of pocket for a single pair of glasses, even with any insurance discounts. Also they will not provide you with PD - even if you ask. It's important PD is accurate otherwise ordering elsewhere can result in bad glasses. When I asked for PD, even after purchasing glasses from them, I was informed that PD is an internal measurement they do not share and that if I want it or need it then I'm able to just do it myself using online instruction or methods. For these reasons, I'll likely be trying somewhere new next year as I'd like to not have my personal health info locked behind privacy. After all, why can't I see my own health data?

I was hopeful this would be a good experience, but unfortunately it was not…read more My prescription includes prism, and the doctor mentioned that he does not work with prism very often. To be fair, I do not know whether the problem was the prescription, measurements, or the lab. What I do know is that my glasses were made three times, including two remakes and a prescription recheck, and I still never received a pair that worked properly for me. The overall experience was very disappointing. During my initial visit, there was nobody available to assist with ordering glasses, so I had to return later for a separate appointment. The sales process felt very high pressure, and I was repeatedly told that my current glasses looked bad and that she would never let me leave wearing glasses that looked like that. Those comments made me feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. Communication was also poor. For the third pickup, I was specifically told to come at a certain time so the office manager could be there, but she was not present when I arrived. I requested a call and never received one. I ultimately had to dispute the charge with my credit card company, and the dispute was resolved in my favor.

I called today on January 30, 2024 and they said that my glasses may not be done until the end of this week it was overall terrible experience.

As a contact wearer for a long time, I'm always concerned about my eye health. I trust they're making sure my retina, cornea, lens, iris, optic nerve, macula, sclera and that ever important vitreous body are all in tip-top shape. They do both medical exams and "vision" exams (the one where you get glasses afterwards) and I've had both. Even though they stopped taking my vision insurance, I think they still take my medical insurance so I plan on continuing here for those. Again, they go all Henry David by being Thorough. The staff is always super helpful and accommodating and I get some cool roll up sunglasses on each trip! That Florida sun can be bright when I have eyes like Betty Boop! I will say their pricing on glasses is a bit high, so you may want to take your prescription and head to Costco or some other place to get the style you like at a reasonable price. But not a reason to drop a star, IMFO.

After a long research I choose Lake Nona ophthalmology, and I booked consultation with DR Patel , upon my arrival I was greeted with a pleasant and courteous staff , the office was bright, nice ,and clean. I first came in contact with Beatrice the clinical manger who is extremely kind and very welcoming. She made me feel at ease as if I know her my whole life and she did all the scanning . Then I met with Dr Patel who recommended the refractive surgery instead of EVO ICL which is why I booked the consultation in the first place. Dr Patel took the time to explain the reasons behind his recommendation , answered all my questions , and educated me on what to expect during and after the procedure. Furthermore; he called me personally to check on me a day later after surgery. All I can say is that Dr Patel give me another chance to perfect vision. I would highly recommend Dr Patel and his stuff especially Beatrice and Dr Ahmed Thank you
