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.

He took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process.

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!

I've been seeing Dr Grubbs for 5+ years.

The staff is inept at best . I showed up to find they weren't there. There was no call no text no email. But they still sent me text messages after I made another appt if I was coming. I pressed 3 which meant to cancel my appointment 3x and they called me the night before reminding me of my appointment. They claimed they never got the text canceling. Like I said the staff isn't very good and even if you get through they are rude ! Last time they blame AT&T for my troubles getting through to them. Doc are great but staff and their overall system has lead me to other practices.

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.

I had my first thorough eye exam with Dr. Kumar. Initially,…read moreI went to the old location on Red Bug Lake Rd - as that is what was on my referral form and confirmed by the Orlando Office when I scheduled the appointment. After being unable to find the office (building was under construction), I called the central line and was finally directed to the location on Wellness Way. (I've submitted a request to Yelp HQ to correct the address). Luckily, I had planned on being 30 minutes early so even with the commotion, I didn't miss my appointment. Check-in was easy and I had the typical paperwork to complete. I didn't complete it online beforehand. Insurance had not yet been processed so I completed the visit without knowing if I'll have a bill or if I've met my deductible for the year. The young lady at the front desk was able to give me an estimate on billing so at least I'll know when I can follow up because my insurance company can be slow at times. Overall, the experience was smooth. I was with two technicians before meeting Dr. Kumar. The first was really easy going, professional and made me laugh, this helped to ease my nerves, especially after she told me that she needed to touch my eyeballs with an instrument! The eyes are numbed with drops so, in the end, her measuring my eye pressure was no big deal. The next technician took the photos of my eyes; she was friendly and professional. Finally, I met with Dr. Kumar. He completed a thorough examination of my eyes, focusing on the reason that my Optometrist made the referral. He was great and his calm demeanor made it a comfortable experience. When he was finished, he explained his findings and answered the few questions that I had. At checkout, I was able to get copies of my record and make a follow-up appointment for next year. Other than that, the office is easy to find, once you have the correct address! The office is bright, with simple decor and has reasonably comfortable waiting areas. The second one is dimly lit, which is great once for once your pupils are dilated. If you're looking for an Ophthalmologist, I do recommend checking out this Office.

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.
