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.

Dr. Lugo explains everything he is doing, and why. He is a very caring doctor, and goes out of his way to make sure you understand your eye condition and treatment.

One of the best in Florida
I was referred to Dr Lugo after a failed DSAEK in my left eye. I was diagnosed with Fuch's. The surgeon was not at any fault, just the donor tissue did not wake up. And this surgeon was leaving. Dr Lugo redid that transplant and my vision cleared up fast. He is very clear in his explanations and makes you feel comfortable with all processes. His staff is also amazing. This was sone in April 2024 and we knew my right eye would be would be needing this as well. He coordinated with the opthalmologist doing the cataract surgery (Dr Harry Pappas) and my right eye procedure was done October 18 using DMEK and the eye is clearing up fast. I highly recommend Dr Lugo if you have any cornea issue - You will not regret this decision..

I had a great experience. He is very patient and kind. I was very comfortable with him. I went to see about cornea transplant. I told him I was snow bird and returning late May. He said he would send all info and have it set up with the ny Dr. In the meantime if it gives me trouble call him emeditly. So very glad to have him offer to stand by until I get home. I would be very satisfied if he ends up doing the surgery.
