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+++

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

This was the very worst experience I have had with a doctor. I was referred to his office by my eye…read moredoctor. Once there I was told I had a detached retina and I needed surgery done that day or the next morning. He accused me of ignoring my eye health and scared me into thinking it could get worse by the minute. I am a schoolteacher and had only taken the morning off for the appointment and had to go back to work. My husband was also out of town, and I had no one else to drive me to surgery or help with my kids. When I told him I needed to talk to my husband and call to schedule, he had me sign a refusal of treatment paper. Once I tried calling back to schedule, it was very hard to get a return call. I had a scheduling person call while I was teaching and tell me I had to be at the hospital for pre-surgery appointment that same afternoon. Teaching school does not work like that. She also was scheduling me for surgery at a hospital not on my insurance. When they did call back it was with misinformation and not helpful with securing a date. I finally scheduled one, but I was scared it was getting worse and went to the ER because my eyesight felt like it was lessening. When the ER doctor contacted Dr Membreno's office, he said I was not his patient- he had terminated my care. What??? So unprofessional. The ER Dr. referred me to another retina specialist and said though I need surgery, it wasn't an emergency situation where it had to be done that day or week. I did have successful surgery with a different practice.

First of all the lady knows her profession inside and out, but she treats you with kindness and respect. Everything I want in a friend. We have gone to Dr Poulos off an on as my husband's cataracts got worse and he recently had surgery to replace his eye lens. Dr Poulos consulted with us. She took the time to present the facts, help us decide and explain what would happen. Her staff is also efficient and caring. They work together like a team and the educate and prepare you for your procedure. They present you with a little kit and a folder with the exact instructions easily mapped out. Overall the kindness and caring I see in Dr Poulos is also reflected in her staff. They use the latest equipment to measure and gather the information for the procedure. They give you instructions written and verbal and call you before the appointment to make sure you understand exactly what to do. Our contact for surgery scheduling made it convenient and she was very nice as she worked to get both eyes completed before the holidays. The drops that you must buy for cataract surgery can be costly. Dr Poulos works with a pharmacy that delivers but more importantly they offer a really good discount. A co-worker went to a different doctor and paid $100 for each of 3 small bottles and my average for similar 3 bottles was $65 each. A significant savings and one I would not have known about except Dr Poulous negotiates to provide their patients an easy way to get the medication at a significant savings. The staff is really good about keeping the appointments on schedule with little to no waiting so they get you in and out. We saw another doctor before selecting Dr Poulos. They had us waiting for so long (in the waiting room and in the exam room) and when we did see the doctor we got a hard sell to upgrade out of pocket. I am so glad I checked with my friend on who she had used for her cataract procedure and was happy to get the referral to Dr. Margaret Poulos.

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!!

It also isn't too difficult to get a same week time to come in. But, be prepared to be here for at least 2 hours. Each visit they have an empty pre-waiting room and a packed secondary waiting area. Everytime I have checked in, I am warned, "sorry, it's a really, really long wait today." At this point the long wait is average. So just expect to be there for a while.

The doctor, as well as the receptionist were all very friendly, courteous and professional. Even for my first appointment they had made me feel like I'd been going there for years. The doctor is very kind and patient, working with a three year old isn't necessarily easy! He took his time, he was genuine and sincere, and was not inconvenienced at all by my questions. He talked to us and answered all of our questions, making sure we understood everything 100%. They have an adorable little room designated just for kids to make sure they never see it as a negative experience which is something I truly appreciated about this doctor. He was unable to do the particular procedure for my daughter so he referred us to a specialist he highly trusted and scheduled our appointment there for the very next day. I highly recommend this practice to anyone, especially if you have small children scared of visiting the doctor. He will help them overcome it and create a positive experience for them.

I came in recently expecting a simple prescription update, but it turned out things were a bit more complicated. The team was great--clear, patient, and helpful as I got a stronger glasses prescription and started contacts for the first time. I've also had a medical emergency during an eye exam in the past, so I tend to be a little uneasy in these settings. They were completely understanding about that and made sure the whole appointment moved at a pace I was comfortable with. Even now, weeks later and back out of state, they've stayed responsive and easy to reach whenever I've had questions. It's been a huge help and really reassuring to know I can still count on them, even from afar.
