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.

HIS time is important, yours is NOT
Absolutely never on time. I like his medical knowledge and skills, but having to wait and wait every time I see him gets very irritating. He is pleasant and personable, which is why I have been his patient for years. But his poor time management has me looking for a different provider.

Always makes my appointment with Dr. Shettle an easy and informative visit regarding the health of my eyes and my vision testing. I have been seeing him for many years now and he performed cataract surgeries on both eyes that turned out just perfect. I would highly recommend and did to anyone looking for a great ophthalmologist.

Dr Shettle is a very knowledgeable, caring and compassionate physician. I had been suffering with very severe dry eye syndrome for 14 years and at the very first visit, he recommended an eye ointment that turned out to be a miracle cure for me. I am so grateful to Dr. Shettle for his excellent care and expert advice. His office is ran very efficiently and his staff is wonderful and very caring as well. I highly recommend Dr. Shettle.

Excellent, Professional, and very nice people. My Cataract surgery went without any problems ,or pain. I can see 20/2o now. So clear. I only needed surgery on one eye, but when i need the other one done I'm going back to Dr. Shettle and the nice people at his office. Largo medical was a great place to have the work done. They are very cool and nice people also...

This is by far the best experience that I have had with an optometrist visit in many years. The entire staff was professional and personal. The office and waiting area was pleasant and had a very professional appearance. Dr. Shettle was very thorough in his exam and informative regarding my vision issues. He was also very down to earth and personal. Thanks to everyone there for making this a pleasant visit.

I want to say I am TOTALLY HAPPY with Dr. Shettle, I was very nervous when I first learned I needed eye surgery and Dr. Shettle and his staff were the best. I cannot say enough about Dr. Shettle, he took total care of my eye problem from start to finish with out a single problem. Dr. Shettle, explained every detail of my surgery and after care exactly to a tee. I would recommend Dr. Shettle to anyone who needs eye care for any reason. Again, I am TOTALLY HAPPY with my eye care from Dr. Shettle.

I was very impressed with the service and treatment that I received from Dr. Shettle. He went beyond just treating me for my 'issue'. He took the time to explain everything to me with recommendations for future treatment both here and when I return to Canada. His staff are very friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure meeting them all.
