Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Third follow up
All the staff are wonderful and pleasant This was my third time seeing Dr Reeves. The pre tests went well and the tech doing them was very friendly and explained everything well. The check up this year went great with Dr. Reeves. He's a wonderful doctor and explains everything clearly and will answer all my questions. Only issue was wait time but that happens. Im booked for next year already and glad I was sent to them for my nerve issue.

Pre-Cataract surgery appointment
The office staff - they are so cordial and friendly with patients and with each other. I called them the 'huggiest' office I have ever seen. This was not my first visit, and my husband was also a patient. He was very happy with the results of his cataract surgery. I saw several technicians for this extended appointment; again both competent and friendly. It was a very good experience. I highly recommend the facility.

Eyelid lift
In January, after my cataract surgery, I was recommended by my doctor to have Dr. Applebaum perform my eyelid lift. I was very satisfied with the outcome and I appreciated how much Dr Applebaum and his staff paid attention to my concernes and my questions prior to my eyelid lift. Everyone made me feel very relaxed and comfortable and they were very kind and helpful after my lift. I would highly recommend Dr Applebaum for this procedure, my eyes look great and I can see perfectly since they have been done. If you are nervous, that's ok just get it done, you won't regret your decision!

Top Rate Place
Was very nervous about eye lid surgery, originally had another place that I was supposed to go. But read a lot of bad reviews so Florida Eye Specialist was recommended, great reviews on line. Felt so much better after talking to Dr Mancera. He did a great job, I will go back to him when I need cataract surgery. I highly recommend Dr Mancera!

Professional, courteous, and accommodating
I have been to this establishment twice so far and I am very happy with my visits. The entire staff on both occasions have been very friendly, warm, professional and always helpful throughout. I am truly impressed with the thorough eye exam, treatment and plan of care rendered by Dr. Perez. He afforded me ample amount of time to answer all of my questions and concerns to my satisfaction.

Friendly office staff!
Doctors, nurses are great! Wonderful young blonde lady working the front desk, makes things go smoothly, she is excellent! The best part of the office visit by far is all because of her! She makes it so easy to set up appointments and get the needed doctors notes for work. Normally they have up to 4 ladies work the front two desks. By far she really stands out as the best one! She is always so professional, friendly and courteous. The office has her working the afternoon shift until the time they close. When I need to make follow up appointments, I try to make sure that it is for the afternoon time frame, knowing hopefully she will be working that shift and she will be the one to check me out from the appointments and helping me make the needed follow up appointments. I really hope she is happy there and the office keeps her there for a long time. She deserves a raise when the time comes around to gives raises. Thank you to this office for hiring such a wonderful, competent person!

Absolutely your best choice
Dr. Ana Maria Oliva has been my ophthalmologist since I moved to FL in 2018. The facility is impressive, multi-faceted, and has the latest in technology. I must have my eyes checked frequently throughout the year, and only the best will do for my eyes. Even though I have moved away from this facility, I continue to drive almost 50 miles to see Dr. Oliva. Surgery, lazer procedures, consulting, educating, with a full team of experts, Dr. Oliva does it all.
