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.

Would not recommend
Poor Surgeon, will promise the world, and then lie to cover up if things go wrong. Worst decision I made was to trust this guy with my eyes.

Dr. Samy is the best! Dr. Samy made me feel comfortable with his calming demeanor, by explaining what to expect from my cataract removal in both eyes and by addressing my concerns. I have recommended him to others.

Knowledgeable and professional
I was referred to him by an OD. I checked his references as well as some other cardiac specialist and decided to go with Dr. “Sammy“. How is A. very impressed by the staff at both the Tampa and Brandon locations and buy his overall demeanor and ability to explain.

Dr. Samy has a great team
From start to finish my visits at Florida Eye Specialists have been good. I'm always greeted with a smile and my questions are answered. I like to particularly commend my intake tech Sydney Adams who helps ensure my visits get off to a great start.

Phil B. – Dec 21, 2023

Apathetic
Waited a month for an initial appointment then another for a retinal exam. then when cleared for cataract surgery I called the doctors office to schedule the cataract surgery. I was directed to a voice mail and to leave a message. I did leave a message but the office voice mail said don't keep calling back if we don't answer! This was the a sign to me of poor patient support! After a few weeks of no response from his office I did call back and was forwarded to the same office voice mail. I then asked to see a different doctor in the same practice and was told I'd have to go thru all of the prior examinations again even though it was the same office. I'm taking my records to a different doctor!

Excellent experience. Dr Samy was great. But what was so memorable - the two techs who preceded him: Eric and Sidney were professional, friendly, knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
