Dr. David Mendelblatt so severely misdiagnosed my wife she nearly went blind. She went to him in…read moreMay 2016 because the vision in her left eye was cloudy. He said she had floaters & it should clear up in a while. She didn't think it was floaters but hey, he's the doctor, right? Six months later, in November 2016 the vision in her left eye deteriorated to the point it was like looking through a tunnel with a small light at the end. She went back to him & he said her floaters had gotten worse & that a cataract that was a #1 in May had gotten a little bigger. He performed NO tests. No pictures, no field vision test, no nothing. She knew something was wrong but she didn't know what so she insisted on a macular degeneration test which was, of course, negative because that's not what the problem was. Two months later, as her vision continued to deteriorate, a neighbor recommended she go to St. Luke's. At St. Luke's she was examined on 2/1/17 by Dr. Katherine Flynn, who after a very extensive examination, with numerous tests, told her there was nothing wrong with her eye & she could find no reason why she couldn't see out of it. She then referred her to Dr Geoffery Kwitko, a neural ophthalmologist. One week later on 2/8/17 he found the reason she was losing her sight. She had a pituitary cyst pressing on her optical nerve. After a MRI on 2/22/17 & another field vision test, he told her she was also losing vision in her right eye & without surgery she would be blind in three months. He referred her to neurosurgeon Dr. Lucy Love whom we met with on 3/8/17. She was fast tracked for surgery & was operated on 3/20/17. Since her surgery she has recovered, by God's good graces, most, if not all the vision in her left eye. We are eternally grateful to St. Luke's, Dr. Katherine Flynn, Dr. Geoffery Kwitko & Dr. Lucy Love for their dedication, their expertise & their persistence in correctly diagnosing & treating my wife's eye condition. Dr. Mendelblatt should be grateful to them as well because if she didn't recover her eyesight I would be sitting in a lawyers office on Monday. If you are a patient of Dr. David Mendelblatt I suggest you run, not walk, run very fast & very far away from him. 2 Share

Check-in was simple and I think I waited just 10 minutes past the scheduled appointment to be taken back for my exam. I like their system in that I was escorted to the first room for the initial checkup with the tech. After that was completed, I sat in the waiting room for a few minutes until my eyes dilated and was taken back to see Dr. Manning who completed his exam. He took his time and answered my questions and explained things in layman's terms. I recommend Dr. Manning and his staff for your eye concerns. Everyone is friendly, professional and proficient. (I researched prior to initially making appointment and learned that he has high ratings for eye surgery,too). The office is pleasant, comfortable and clean. Free parking is great too.

I am sharing my experience with The Eye Institute of West Florida regarding procedures performed on…read moremy left eye, including a lens replacement with an Odyssey lens performed by Dr. Hummel, a later laser procedure intended to address problems from the first procedure, and PRK performed by Dr. Desai in another attempt to improve the outcome. Unfortunately, my vision did not improve. In fact, my vision and quality of life have worsened significantly. Before the lens replacement, I only needed 1.5 readers. I now require 2.5 readers. I continue to suffer from constant dry eye, despite a tear duct procedure performed by Dr. Hummel. I have also developed macular puckering, my eye axis has changed significantly, and even with glasses my vision cannot be corrected to better than 20/30. In addition to the vision problems, I continue to experience ongoing pain and irritation. It feels like there is something in my eye at all times, and that discomfort has not gone away. I have consulted with other medical professionals regarding my condition and have been advised that the wrong lens may have been used, possibly due to improper measurement. I have incurred substantial expenses seeking expert opinions and expect to face additional costs in an effort to correct or improve the damage to my vision. When I raised my concerns with the practice, their response was essentially that they did nothing wrong, had refunded my money, and wished me luck. Given the seriousness of the ongoing problems I am experiencing, I found that response very disappointing. Based on my experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering a procedure with this practice to seek multiple independent opinions, ask detailed questions, and fully understand the risks before moving forward.
