I'm 79 years old I need cataract surgery I made an appointment I was there for a few hours they…read morebrought me to many different rooms they put drops in my eyes that made my eyes very irritable. They said the side effects when only last 20 minutes. Anyways at the end of the visit they gave me two options for cataract surgery $5,000 for one lens and $10,000 for two lens. It was a big surprise and I had no idea I would have to go get a loan. I called them later to see if they could do standard cataract surgery and they said no. When I left their office I was blind they gave me some kind of sunglasses to put on. I had to make two stops on the way home because I couldn't see at all and I asked people for directions how to get home I asked four people people and nobody had the answer To get to Hiatus Road from Sheridan Street I didn't get home until after 7 30 PM that night I had quite a panic attack trying to make it home. He has wonderful reviews he's a great surgeon but they would not help me at all to have standard cataract surgery. I'm very disappointed. Plus my medicare benefits have been quite reduced by the presidential Administration in the United States

I regret to have eye surgery. I have unsuccessful results…read more After my eye surgery and lots of $$$ spent I required two additional eye Laser procedures called YAG and PRK. Well after all previously mentioned, I still have Astigmatism, blurred and distorted vision and still need eyeglasses for near and far sight vision with different eye measurements on each eye. Dr A. Mendelsohn is nice and have kind manners but the results after my eye laser surgery had left me sad and very depressed.

Welp - Looks like I need to find a new eye doctor!…read more On February 20, I visited Eye Associates of Hollywood and saw Dr. Garcia. She was great, kind, energetic, and finally gave me a diagnosis that explained what had been going on with my eyes. I felt hopeful after that visit. After completing the 10-day treatment, my eyes were better still not right after I stopped. I called the office on March 11 and left a voicemail. I eventually received a call back and was told to continue treatment and come back in sooner, so I scheduled a follow-up for March 30. I also asked for a refill on my eye drops and was told it would be called into my pharmacy. That never happened. I called again and left another voicemail. No response. I waited about a week, called again, and still no response and no prescription called in. At that point, I had no way to continue the treatment I was told to follow and my follow up appt was approaching. Today, Friday March 27, I received a call from Jose asking if I was keeping my Monday March 30 appointment. I explained the situation and said that would depend on the doctor wants, since I had not been able to continue treatment due to the prescription never being sent in. Instead of addressing the issue, he repeatedly asked if I wanted to cancel. When I asked about the cancellation policy, he said there would be a fee if not within 24 hours, so I told him to cancel. When I asked for his name, he avoided answering and kept talking. I had to ask multiple times before he finally said his name was Jose and started spelling it even though I didn't ask for it. The interaction felt dismissive and unnecessarily frustrating. I'm not going to lie, he pissed me off. Overall, this experience has been extremely disappointing. The doctor seemed great - although I didn't know my condition was chronic until I looked it up on the internet. The lack of follow-through, poor communication, and unprofessional front office experience completely undermined the care. It is unacceptable to leave a patient without access to prescribed treatment and then push them to keep an appointment anyway. Very disappointing.

I have been patient of Eye Surgery Associates for more than 40 years beginning with Dr. Duffner and…read morethen Dr Jones. Unfortunately the practice has lost the emphasis on medicine and shifted to business. I was scheduled for my annual exam and received a text message 10 days prior requesting that I confirm. I confirmed. I received a second message requesting that I confirm. I confirmed. Scheduled for 9:30, I arrived at 9:00 and electronically checked in. Fifteen minutes later I was told that the Doctor was no longer with the practice. I asked if I could be seen by another doctor and was politely, coolly, and indifferently told- NO. Tried to reach the office manager by phone-IMPOSSIBLE. IT IS A BUSINESS AND IF THEY COULD DO IT WITH ROBOTS AND AI INSTEAD OF PHYSICIANS, THEY WOULD.

I have been to 5 different eye institutes ranging from optometrists to ophthalmology over the past 3 years with the complaint of cloudy vision following artificial lens implants (including the practice who implanted the lenses) and was always dismissed and misdiagnosed. Today - I felt heard and understood and was reassured that what I was experiencing was valid. They put me through a ton of different exams and reassured me that the implants were ok and I didn't need glasses or contacts and they put collagen plugs in my tear ducts right then and there and my vision is already almost perfect. They also offered me a follow up appointment with other options of this doesn't clear my issue. I am also a physician and understand how important "hearing " a patient is- and I was heard and understood and I am so grateful and happy for this amazing group of physicians and staff.

I was sent an email reminder for "my" appointment. The email contained my first name and the time…read moreand date of the upcoming appointment. The issue is, I never made an appointment and have no idea who these doctors are and how they got my information. I sent them a message asking them to correct their information. The next thing I know, I receive a survey thanking me for the visit (which obviously didn't occur) and asking me to complete the survey. Again, I sent a message asking them to look in to this issue. I never received any response. They then sent a notification another appointment was set up. I sent another message asking them to contact me as to why this is happening when I'm not their patient. They never responded. I received another reminder today and asked for a response which I'm still waiting for. I'm concerned that they may have billed Medicare under my information without me seeing them, or someone is using my information. I have repeatedly asked them to email me how this has happened as I want the information in written form and the last thing I want to do is give them my phone number to call me back and add that to their documentation. I would be concerned to go to this office due to not only this error, but the lack of communication on their part to correct this error.

I was then called to the window so the receptionist could verify I had an appoint and once again told to have a seat in the waiting area. The waiting area was full and i knew this doctor double or even triple books. After waiting almost an hour I was called in only to be taken into another room and told to have a seat. Again I waited when finally a young woman came in did not introduce her self and proceeded to ask me a bunch of questions and performed a simple eye exam. I was then escorted into another room where I waited a short time and anothe woman looked in my eyes with a machine and then put drops international my eyes. Once again I was escorted into a waiting room and told to keep my eyes closed. I waited at least 45 minutes when I was finally called into a room where guess what I had to wait at least 20 minutes before the doctor came in who looked in my eyes with some kind of machine and also with a bright light. He said your fine your eyes are healthy. This took all of 5 minutes. I could not belive I was there for almost three hours. I will never go back to this doctor. My time is just as valuable as his.

To the Yelp readers. I am flabbergasted by the last…read morecomments and only 5 out of 7 comments made. Let's do a reality check. Thank you to the 2 positive reviews. I am in agreement there is a problem w/members of the staff (they are the front line -they are good at what they do however a little refresher in public/patient relations is in order) that's when one takes ownership and asks for the doctor call you back direct. Let's remember quality vs quantity. Dr. Braverman is excellent in his field. As he does have ancillary employees, it's a sign of his quality and teachings. Not incompetent in any way, knows what he is doing with out a doubt. Do your research Dr. Braverman is TOP in his field in the state of Florida, New York and the Country.... The Dr. Has written so much he is a skilled clinician as well as an accomplished educator. Not only is one anxious when making these life changing decision one is also in someone else's hands. And for one I am happy to be a witness to such a unique and rare eye condition in the presence of an expert. And fortune to find the authority in Rare Eye Conditions. (Toxoplasmosis) for My dear Friend, Patient Thomas J. Murray I witness nothing but exemplary patient care. In such a serious matter. The doctor saved Mr. Murray's Retina. 14 years later here we are to present. Mr. Murray has returned do to a partially detach cornea related to a bad contact lens experience. Bravo-Dr. Braverman, you have saved his eye again. In closing, if for some reason you are having a financial problem, a treatment problem, or are not following the doctors immaculate treatment orders. STOP don't complain, speak with the Doctor... If by now one does not know waiting will take place in a waiting room, then I can say, you don't want a doctor to pay attention to your very unique and medically over all health!! I will sign this Honest Review, Sir Lazaro R. Oliver.

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 .
