Thank you again.

Do not go here if you're looking for chalazion or stye removal/surgery, I made an appointment here…read morebecause it says on their website that they do the procedure to remove chalazions and when I got there they said they actually didn't and just did it on a very specific kind...which makes no sense. The doctor was nice enough and prescribed me more antibiotics but told me everything I already knew about my chalazion. Now I have to call an ACTUAL Oculoplastic surgeon to remove my Chalazion and it's going to take a month longer than I thought it would.

Also, They won't cover much from your insurance, they make you pay for co-pay, even is in the network. Probably thats the reason why they have those kind of low quality services. My plan was to get my annual contact prescription and end up they want me to pay $100 to order the testing contacts lens and on top of $30 co-pay. And told I have to wait couple week for them to receive the the test contact lens. Everything there is just make no sense. Worst experience I ever had!

There are warnings all over the place saying they'll charge you a late fee. 2 hours. It took 20 minutes to get checked in--you have to write your name down and wait for the front desk to do so. Most staff in plain clothes, no badges, lanyards, or anything identifying, so it's incredibly hard to tell who works here. Have been here an hour. Have almost been run down twice by busy staff busily walking very importantly. They couldn't find my vision insurance using the same insurance card as I always use for vision, and wanted in-depth information about it I've never been asked before.

This was the greatest possible experience I could ever have. Both eyes came out 20-20, across all distances from 16" to infinity, with zero astigmatism. They started out about -3.5D nearsighted and up to 1.5D astigmatism. Absolutely awesome experience. I am a PITA about surgery. I research and question everything. Its sometimes hard for doctors to put up with me and my questions. Dr. Shumski not only did great work, but was gracious about my questions and called me 3 times to answer questions. I also got several email answers. I received full documentation about the surgery and all questions/concerns were answered. His staff and associates were also wonderful. From the receptionist to techs to ophthalmologist who reviewed my post-surgery progress. I cannot be more happy about the entire experience.

Excellent care from making the initial appointment to follow-up visit. I opted for the laser cataract removal and multifocal correction and I was able to do both eyes at the same time, which was fantastic! I could see clearly immediately!!! Everyone says, "why did I wait so long to have the surgery?" JUST DO IT!!! After my initial visit, I ran into a friend of mine, who was in the waiting area for a follow up appointment. She had her cataracts and lenses done and THAT eased my anxiety, I KNEW I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE!!! Thank you Dr. Shumski and Dr Calloway and ALL the staff, you're all GREAT! I can see clearly now, the clouds are gone......

I had an extremely frustrating and disappointing experience at Southwest Orlando Eye Care…read more Before my appointment, I completed all required paperwork and provided my insurance information in advance. Yet when I arrived, they couldn't find my insurance in their system. After unnecessary back-and-forth, they eventually located it -- something that should have been handled before I walked in the door. It only got worse from there. Once they realized I needed a full eye evaluation and assessment of my scleral lenses, they informed me I had been scheduled with the wrong doctor. My options were to either wait another hour or reschedule entirely. Since I had already driven an hour each way, I agreed to wait. Then I was told the doctor only spends 20 minutes per patient -- and that if I actually needed scleral lens fitting or proper evaluation, I would have to come back on another day. At that point it became very clear: their priority was protecting the doctor's schedule, not providing patient-centered care. There was zero ownership of the scheduling mistake, zero attempt to accommodate the situation meaningfully, and no concern for the fact that I had invested two hours of driving time. Healthcare is supposed to be about patients. Instead, I felt like an inconvenience to their calendar. This was a complete waste of my time. If you value efficiency, professionalism, and being treated like a patient rather than a scheduling problem, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

We contacted this office in an emergency situation, and not an established customer, in hopes of…read moregetting a same-day appointment. The receptionist said that their schedule was full, but that she'd ask the doctor if he could squeeze me in. After inquiring, she asked how quickly we could get there, as the doctor agreed to see me right away. I was relieved and grateful that he was willing to see me. After arriving at the office, we filled out paperwork and were quickly called back. We first met with Victoria. She was so kind and helpful with my situation. She asked pertinent questions, and did everything she could to keep me as comfortable as possible. She performed a few tests, and was patient and caring in doing so, as I was very uncomfortable. She was able to resolve my concern, and went to get the doctor to complete my exam. Shortly after, Dr. Nowell came in and completed the exam. He was also very kind, and he confirmed that there were no additional concerns. Overall, I was so appreciative of my experience with this office. The doctor and his staff were compassionate and kind, and they performed a thorough exam that I was relieved about when we left. I will gladly return to this office for future routine exams, and would recommend them to family and friends. If you are looking for an eye care provider in the area, consider this office!
