Dr. Ahmad Tarabishy, MD

Melanoma skin cancer spreads quickly and can even go into the eye. Lucky me. But 2 years of Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab Immunotherapy treatments have put my brain mets into remission and very quickly helped my Choroidal eye melanoma retinal detachment as well. Dr. Tarabishy has been monioring the retina part of my cancer to make sure it is stable and not progressing. He is a wonderful physician and I recommend him highly.

Our visit was wonderful. The staff was very friendly. courteous and helpful---contrary to some other offices that we have been to..... Dr Tarabishy was very pleasant and explained the upcoming procedure and the necessary follow-up steps very thoroughly. My wife has developed a Macular Hole and they created a late afternoon appointment the same day......They went out of their way to get the referral process started.... I strongly recommend this office.

Dr. Tarabishy repaired my detached retina and cataracts. Excellent doctor.

Dr. Tarabishy, his medical staff and office staff were all excellent. The surgery I had was iffy at best but Dr. Tarabishy pulled it off and now I have 20/20 vision in that eye now. Thanks are not enough but thanks Doc!

Nothing but great and positive feedback I can provide for Dr Tarabishy. He and his staff are wonderful and I am thankful for the care he has provided for me.

He is an exceptional Doctor, and I would recommend him to all! I have been seeing Dr. Tarabishy for over 4 years. My first visit was for an Ocular Occlusion, and it was considered an emergency visit. After numerous tests, he explained in detail what happened to my retina and suggested monthly retinal injections as a course of treatment. I was frightened, but he helped me gain confidence throughout the injections. (I now have an illness that requires LABS every 2 weeks---I would rather go to DR Tarabishy than get those LABS!!) I have also been treated for Iritis, which can be very painful.

Him and his office staff are friendly and professional. My only issue with the doctor is that he takes too long. Example, my appointment will be at 3:00 but I won’t be seen until around 4:00. I don’t know if they overbook but that’s way too long to wait for a doctor.

When diagnosed with wet macular degeneration and you're informed that the best treatment, initially, is to receive injections directly into the eye, fear consumes a person. Such was my concern, as I had gone to a reputable clinic and experienced the "little pinch" monthly. Family circumstances changed and I investigated and located Dr. Tarabishy. Not only is he brilliant, but very concerned, and let me say that in his care, I experienced no pain, no pinch, no discomfort. His staff takes the time to numb the eyes with drops. As expected, only blurred vision for a few hours after the injections. Should you need treatment for your retina, let me highly recommend Dr. Ahmad Tarabishy. He's the best there is.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Tarabishy! I had emergency surgery same day and he and his staff were wonderful!

This doctor is incredible. Very helpful, explains things well and in light of a very scary ordeal guided us through it perfectly. My husband had to have emergency retinal surgery and I wouldn’t have another doctor do it. I truly believe he saved my husband’s eyesight. We were recommended to him after an emergency occurred and he handled it immediately. Even during this Covid business. Very impressive doctor!

The staff was very professional, friendly and organized. Dr. Tara was very thorough and informative.

Dr. Taribishy is a gentle and informative doctor. He is highly recommended. His staff are all great and understanding. Our driver was late in picking us up so Star, the general manager stayed with us until our driver came. In fact she said she would take us home if the driver didn't come. We were thankful that the driver was late as a UPS delivery of medicine came while we were waiting. Can you imagine what might have happened to that medicine if no-one was there to receive it!!!

It is a positive visit the doctor and the staff.

I really was very happy with my visit the receptionist was so very pleasant. The assistants that was working in me was so awesome and very patient with me..Dr.Tarabishy knew his stuff and communicated with me about everything every step of the way throughout my exam...Thank you so much to the whole team!!!!

It's a good Dr to go to he explaining everything to you so you understand what going.

He did an excellent job on my surgery. Explains everything going on with your eyes and seems to be a caring doctor.

Dr. Tarabishy did great work on my eye. It was in bad condition. He also caught a problem with my other eye and is now treating it. Knowledgeable Dr. and staff.

Very friendly and professional staff. Sarah is great. I was seen in a very timely manner. No long waits.

Two operations and follow ups were beyond professional. Has a natural human touch you don’t always see. Plus. The staff is all of the above and more. Genuine caring people.

MY EXPERIENCE WAS POOR. I NEEDED EMERGENCY SURGERY ON MY RIGHT EYE AS I COULD NO LONGER SEE. THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY - HIS OFFICE MANAGER EXPECTED ME TO HAVE THE SURGERY AND THEN DRIVE TO LAKELAND THE NEXT DAY SO THAT HE CAN DO HIS FOLLOW UP VISIT - THEY SCHEDULED ME AT THE HOSPITAL FOR SURGERY AND ON THE DAY OF THE SURGERY CALL ME TO TELL ME I HAVE TO WAIT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THEY RESCHEDULE ME AGAIN FOR SURGERY IN A SURGICAL CENTER BECAUSE NOONE GO TTHE AUTHORIZATION I NEEDED TO HAVE MY SURGERY IN THE HOSPITAL . THEN WHEN I FINALLY HAVE THE SURGERY I WAKE UP DURING MY SURGERY - AND THEN I WAS EXPECTED TO GO TO HIS OFFICE ON THE SAME DAY AS THE SURGERY HE SHINES THIS BRIGHT LIGHT INTO MY EYE MIND YOU MY SURGERY WAS AT 7 AM AND HES SHINING THIS BRIGHT LIGHT IN MY EYE CAUSING ME MIGRAINES HE THEN SENDS ME OUT OF HIS OFFICE WITH MY EYELID COMPLETELY DROPPED NOTHING TO COVER MY EYES WITH NO SHADES TO PROTECT MY EYES NOTHING AND HIS OFFICE MANAGER ALSO DID NOTHING ! HORRIBLE !
