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+++

The person who retrieved my medical record also wrote down my prescription numbers reversed, leading to an additional 20 minutes in the exam and some psychological stress over how confused the Dr was! Phoned 3 times leading up to appt, no one answered. Finally received a call 5 minutes prior that the Dr is running 2 hours behind schedule. 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!

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.

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

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.

I pressed 3 which meant to cancel my appointment 3x and they called me the night before reminding me of my appointment. They claimed they never got the text canceling. Like I said the staff isn't very good and even if you get through they are rude ! Last time they blame AT&T for my troubles getting through to them.
