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.

Extraordinary clinician scientist who cares for my eyes so well.

Best Cataract/Opthomologist in Tampa
Dr. Espana is the best ophthalmologist for cataract surgery in the area. His exams and diagnostic approach was comprehensive and he thoroughly explained what to expect as I have other eye conditions. I could not be more pleased! I highly recommend Dr. Espana.

Dr Espana was able to diagnose my problem after I had been to 2 other Physicians with no luck. He also performed my cataract surgery and restored my vision to better than 20/20. He listened to my concerns and was friendly and patient. I drive over 2 hours to see him and highly recommend him. It is a busy office and I have had some wait times but it's worth it for best care.
