I recently found myself suffering from a very serious eye ailment while on vacation in Florida…read more After being hospitalized in Tampa, it was recommended that I see Dr. Kane for follow up. I was able to quickly get an appointment. Dr Kane was extremely professional in his explanation of my issues and very compassionate to my feeling vulnerable being out of state. When I mentioned that I felt like I was leaving all my lifelines in Florida, Dr. Kane made it his mission to get me quickly seen by a neuro ophthalmologist in Illinois. I will be forever grateful for the comprehensive care I received from Dr. Kane and his staff.

Need to let people know, the surgery itself went well and my wife's eyes are good now besides the…read morenormal things that are expected after the surgery such as lights blinking and irritation but should go away. had a form for the DR to fill out from motor vehicle saying her eyes are corrected and they charged me $35.00 at the office to have the 1 page form filled out by the doctor. You would think that after paying $9,100 out of pocket it would be included. Not, and I was never told of this until the day I picked it up, Should have been told this at 1st appt. They are suppose to tell you of all costs before. Just FYI Center for eyes on Center road doesn't charge for this. May want to check all charges before going here. Your choice. I would not recommend them.

Their patient scheduling leaves a lot to be desired. But then, it is now different than other…read morephysicians offices. 10:15 appointment and still waiting 60 minutes later. They have a bunch of TV monitors in one of the waiting rooms. They are all playing an ad for TCL televisions. Over and over again, repeating every 30 seconds. It becomes extremely annoying. Most of the physicians are great. I appreciate their help and support. But this group needs someone on staff to address the patient experience outside of the care from the doctor. Do a better job, please

The medical care is good but plan on spending several hours there. My husband had a scheduled…read moreappointment for a regular check up. Our appointment was for 3 pm. We arrived at 2:45 pm. Did not walk out of the office until 5:10 pm. We understand that sometimes emergencies happen that create longer wait times but this is a regular occurrence at this institution. Today they apologized for the long wait times blaming it on the leaving snowbirds trying to get their last eye exam in before returning home. Well that's absurd. Who scheduled all those snowbirds. They certainly didn't just decide to walk in and demand to be seen. Someone is responsible for the over scheduling. Maybe they should re adjust the time allotment for each patient as the current scheduling procedures are creating long and unnecessary wait times for each patient.

Second visit here, now they will be my primary eye care provider…read more They are very welcoming upon entry to their storefront, and the staff is friendly. In the lobby you are greeted by a huge salt water fish tank with vibrant colors. My Dr. was awesome; he is young, enthusiastic, accommodating and knowledgeable. I will most likely schedule 6 month visits instead of just the annual visit. I have no eye care insurance; the cash fees they charge seem fair. In and out in less than an hour, all looks good in my exam and check up. I have referred this location to others and will continue. They are awesome. In addition, a perk is PODS for a huge selection of coffee drinks, plus a small gummy candy treat on the way out. Nice touch.

Had several appointments with Dr. Johnson. Also laser treatments. Each time I saw him he was…read morehurried and dismissive but wrote scripts. for me. Received emails for upcoming appoints. I showed up each time. Checked eyes again, no change. Another email, showed up and he came in room an asked me "What are you doing here, I told you I can't help you! Told him was emailed but he said no more appts and said get the cheapest eye drops I could find. Very rude and left the room. Will never see him again!

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Mark Johnson and his staff for my recent cataract surgery…read more At 72 years old with a very delicate eye condition, I was extremely nervous but Dr. Johnson put me at ease. Not only did I have a very mature cataract, but I was also extremely myopic with a -25.5 prescription - the highest on record at his office. This elongated eyeball made measuring for the precise intraocular lens (IOL) challenging. The measurements showed I needed a special 3-piece lens rather than the standard one-piece. Additionally, a previous eye surgery had replaced my vitreous with liquid, which raised concerns about whether it could adequately hold the new lens capsule in place. Despite the difficulties, Dr. Johnson promised improved vision but was upfront that he couldn't guarantee perfection. I appreciated his honesty. On surgery day at the Sarasota surgery center, the nurses were incredibly kind and attentive. They made sure I was warm and comfortable throughout by frequently providing heated blankets tucked around me at my request. After the surgery, I was overjoyed to be able to see clearly without glasses or contacts for the first time since getting my first -4.50 prescription at age 9! Dr. Johnson even called later to check on me. I am utterly thrilled with the results. Dr. Johnson's skills and his perfect lens selection have given me a new lease on life being able to see with my own eyes at my age despite my eye's complexities. I'm so grateful! Highest recommendation for Dr. Johnson - simply the best!

Dr. Mercandetti is the best doctor you could ever want taking care of you.. He takes time…read morelistening to you --no rush at all. I was referred to him by another Venice physician who described him simply as "brilliant' in his field. I found this to be true after rrying many other places. His wife, Laura, operates her business, NuView Aesthetic, in the same office with the best personalized facials, top skincare products--and numerous up-to-date procedures and equipment. She offers so many alternatives and is very good at explaining which is best for you. The front office treat you very well and are organized. Everything about this practice is AAA+. I am grateful I found them when I moved to Venice from NYC. I would not see another practice after trying others. I highly recommend. You will not regret it!

I just want you all to know about the most inappropriate, unprofessional, and bizarre behavior Dr…read moreMercandetti just displayed. He literally lost his mind and flipped out including MOCKING ME when I asked a question. His arms were flailing and was behaving in a such a crazy manner I had to flee the office in fear of what he may do next. All this because he claimed I was ungrateful even though I thanked him and every one of his staff members multiple times!!! His assistant witnessed this and had a look of total shock on her face. Beware of this doctor!!!!!

Three years ago, Dr. Fezza did a face lift for about $25K for me. It has been daily pain and lack…read moreof healing since then. His staff treats you well while you are deciding/paying (and all $ is collected in advance). They say, "he is your surgeon for life" and that all aftercare is included. Well it is NOT. If you have pain, problems post-surgery (a few months after) they tell you (me), all we can offer is to inject botox at $600 per treatment. The work looks pretty good (there were 2 small flaws that he declined to fix telling me eventually it will all go away) (yes it will when I die!)... But in hindsight, I'd say he pulled the skin too tight, cut deeply into nerves that never regenerated. After the fact, people told me, there is a difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon... well, I didn't do enough research in advance, and pain is now part of my life pretty much 100% of the time. Thanks Doc and staff.

With my second experience Dr Fezza was a real sight saver. While vacationing, I crashed my bike and fractured my eye socket. ER stitched me up and told me to see a surgeon right away to keep my eye from sinking into my sinus. No doctor would see me because I had no insurance at the time. Even though I was 600 miles away I called him and he told me he would do the best for me that he could and work out the cost. I was scheduled right away and the surgery was a great success. I got the needed follow up visits. He is an exceptional plastic surgeon and ophthalmologist with a sincere and caring manner.
