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.

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.

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.

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.

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+++

Is there a class action lawsuit against Magruder Eye Institute? If so, I would seriously consider…read morejoining. Their billing practices have caused me a great deal of stress and anxiety. Watch your money, people! What makes this so frustrating is that the eye surgeon is excellent, but the business side of this organization appears completely disorganized. The bookkeeping is confusing, the communication is poor, and the overall experience has been very unsettling. After surgery on my first eye, I believed everything had been settled. Then the bills started coming. I paid my balance in October. Later, I was told there were two additional bills, which I paid on January 21. Then in March 2026, I received another $60 bill (even though I have not had any services since my October 2025 appointment). That immediately raised a red flag since they could not tell me what that bill was for. No bill was on record in their billing department. According to Magruder, "All bills should be settled before the surgery." I called three different billing numbers for Magruder Eye and Lakeside Surgery, and none of them could initially locate the charge. After another call and a long wait, someone in the business office told me the $60 charge had just been added in March for a service dated September 18 of last year. She also admitted they are having bookkeeping problems. What? And that's my problem? That is very concerning. Imagine how many elderly patients they serve who may not realize they need to keep such a close eye on their bills. Before any procedures, I specifically asked about co-pays and expected charges. Something doesn't feel right about a company adding charges six months later. It's unfortunate because poor billing practices can drive patients away from what could otherwise be a very good medical practice. If anyone knows whether there is a class action lawsuit involving Magruder Eye Institute, please share the information. In the meantime, watch your bills carefully, keep records of your payments, and ask plenty of questions. Go in with your eyes open.

It was an extremely unpleasant way to begin my visit and I nearly left based on her snarky behavior. One star. Fortunately things improved. Tech Shawn was so thorough and kind. He put me at ease and warmed my heart with his gentle nature. He let me know why he was doing all the checks and what to expect next. 5 stars Upon seeing her, about 50 minutes after my initial entry and preliminary exams, Dr. Kurzon was insightful and recommended a medication for eyelid that is new and could make a huge difference for my eye health. She departed the room a bit abruptly and another tech came in to lay out the tools for Dr. Kurzon to perform an in office procedure on my eye. 5 stars. I then waited for the doctor to come back, about 15 minutes. She did the procedure, then let me know verbally what I'd need to do the rest of the day and for about a week, plus pickup prescription at the drugstore. I wish it had been given to me in writing, as I was pretty anxious at the time. 4 stars. Checkout was clipped and professional. 4 stars. TL/dr: Dr (and tech) quite competent, receptionist has terrible customer care behavior.
