Absolutely horrible how they make patients wait hours. I get it if it's for a surgery or procedure,…read morebut you can wait 3-4 hour WITH AN APPOINTMENT, just for the doctor to come in for 3 minutes and say use these drops and come back in 3 days. This has been the case every time. My poor grandfather who cannot see to drive himself has to depend on people to take him to 2-3 appointments a week and all take about 3-4 hours. Expect a LONG wait and to come back for multiple appointments. The staff also loves to stand around talking about their personal lives. Last week we learned about how they would sneak drugs through TSA. The doctor is very good however someone needs to come in a fix how their office runs. Probably the worst experience and I feel awful for their patients because there is no other options but this retina office. I wish I could give negative stars

They were willing to take my girlfriend right away, but there was no ophthalmologist or Eye Specialist on duty. My girlfriend was very upset wanted an eye doctor, we looked online to see if there were any local doctors who could take her right away. We were so lucky to find Dr. Smith, who was kind enough to fit her in and take us on a late Friday afternoon. Not only did he find the eye not to be infected, it was an inflammation on the inside. That probably would have been misdiagnosed anywhere else . He has a really new nice office in a new building, its all set back from itself and other offices it also has a parking garage and room to park a car . I will say he is really nice guy and patient friendly, along with being accommodating, he answered all the questions we asked and made us feel very comfortable, but most of all..prescribed the right medicine, gave us a few options for future, & my girlfriends inflammation is almost gone.

I was having some problems with the vision in my right eye, so you'd think it simple enough to go…read moresee an ophthalmologist, right? Well, not that easy if you are held captive by an HMO insurance carrier. They first sent me to three different but approved on their list ophthalmologists. All three gave me exams but ended up saying that, though there is something definitely going wrong in my eye, weren't really able to diagnose it. So at that point I was finally sent to Fort Lauderdale Retina Institute, an institute consisting of about 8 doctors specializing in comprehensive ophthalmology with particular attention problems of the retina. In short, I couldn't have asked for a more friendly, helpful or professional clerical staff than I found here. When I arrived for my appointment I found that the necessary insurance company paper work referral had not yet arrived. That usually represents a big problem, but not here. Though I offered to drive over to my primary care physician to get one, they told me I didn't have to do that. That they would handle it for me, which they did. This is something most won't do for you. Then, better yet, the medical assistant staff turned out top notch. The whole exam moved right along without those horrid prolonged periods of sitting around waiting for your eyes to dilate. They put dye in my veins, took pictures of the back of my eye, etc., all done with professionalism plus a friendly smile and comforting approach. When I saw my particular doctor, Tirso Mark Lara, an impressive professional, all the diagnostic tests were ready for him. Then, based upon the tests plus his further personal examination was able to, where the other couldn't, diagnose my situation and advise me what was going on in my eye. Though medical science hasn't advanced far enough that much can be done about it, I finally got my answers. Just knowing was, to me, most comforting regardless of whether or not anything can be done about it. In summary everyone I met at Fort Lauderdale Retina Institute, from the clerical staff, to the medical assistants and the doctors were not only top notch on top of their game professionals but also people with a comforting, caring human approach.

I have been a Patient at the Retina Eye Institute for several Years and I had a Detached Retina and…read morewas diagnosed at Ft.Lauderdale Office about 6 Years ago. The had me see the attending on that day and he was Dr. Dhala .He was very easy to talk to and his soft composure seemed like a big help at a very trying time. My retina was detached and my vision out of that eye was not good at all. I had been instructed to give them $300 for the visit. I was totally impressed with his very nice and well done waiting room and examining rooms. This looked like a First Class Operation and equipment. There were Technicians and helpers for the helpers.The Office personnel was abundant. There were Appointment Setters, Cashiers, Greeters and of course a Boiler room with women whose jobs were to deal with the Insurance Companies, the coverage, coverage limits & deductibles. After my Tests were done and watching the Retina Institute in action, I felt very comfortable that when Dr. Dhala had satdown & instructed me to have Surgery in a day or two. His surgical director had asked me all the important questions what was not about my previous problems or allergies or any fears at all? Nope they were all about Insurance, deductibles and Co-Pays and Fees. I had not even finished with the Dr Dhala before the Staff had told me that my deducible was $10,000 and I had a Policy to cover the $10,000 Co-Pay. The problem was that the Co-Pay Insurance policy could take up to 90 days to get paid. They told me that If I could give them $8,000 in cash they would perform the Surgery. The Office was very nice and they blamed it on the Hospital that was where they were doing the surgery. I immediately drove to Miami to Baskin Palmer Institute and had the Surgery the next day, The Surgery was pretty involved and I followed through and My Eye was very damaged. I went to Retina Institute about 18 months later as I had new Insurance and there were procedures that Dr. Dhala said that could possibly work. The bottom line is they did work on every procedure on both eyes were still not working. I took a rest from the Retina Eye Institute of Ft.Lauderdale and went to make a Appt. and I was TOLD THAT I WAS NO LONGER WELCOME...WTF? Please do not be lured in by the Offices and the large Staff at the main Hwy 1 Ft.Lauderdale location. I have been in the Plantation Office and it does not have the Money People that the main office does, so your Appointment will be a follow up at that location because you are already a Customer. Dr. Dhala is part of a money making machine and even though his religious beliefs are suppose to be one of ethics & Compassion to all men, and it is only after the Check Clears and his needs are met first.
