When we arrived we signed in and they were ready for us very quickly. They brought us in back and we went through the usual routine of having their eye checked in various ways and photographed. Once every dilated it was a short wait till we got into the actual doctor's office. We were seeing their regular doctor which is nice because he is very familiar with their eyes as they've been caring for them for quite a few years now. The examination went very well and after discussion with the doctor we have a clear path moving forward once again. If you have a retina problem and need care I definitely recommend this company. We have had extremely good luck with several of the doctors here. They also have several locations around the Orlando area.

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.

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.

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+++
