Coastal Eye Institute Reviews ( 137 )

  1. Nasty reception attitude with staff Dr wants surgery right away no proof of eye disease they did not offer other options like eye drops for glaucoma they all acted I was going blind even though no concrete proof been having eye exams for years never been diagnosed with glaucoma was treated bad

  2. Evacuated for hurricane Matthew with a serious eye condition, called for appointment, and staff was not helpful, even after begging!
    Felt like I was calling the IRS
    Called the Eye Depot and they were awesome!!!

  3. This is a Great Group of Drs and staff. As a diabetic I am concerned about my eyes and they are always patient and understanding about what I am going through.

  4. The wait was a little longer then expected, but it was worth it because the Dr. was very thorough, she knew what she was doing as wellas what she was looling for. Hats off for Dr. MENEZES THANKS FOR A JOB WELL DONE

  5. It is very hard for me to rate it when I must remain in the car & wait for my husband who is the patient. Unless he comes out without lots of complaints, I am unaware of how things went.

  6. I have been seeing Dr. Shane and her girls and I ❤️ them. They are very kind and patient with everyone. I also see a doctor in Pittsburgh but the office here is really awesome!!
    .

  7. Coastal has erroneously charged me twice for co-pay l am not responsible to pay. I have great insurance and am not required to pay co-pays…ever. Coastal’s front desk personnel are useless and uncaring. Have tried to resolve with their …

  8. So very impressed with this practice! Everyone there is wonderful!…the receptionists, the team of assistants (nurses/technicians?), and of course, Dr. Shane. I highly recommend Coastal Eye Institute!

  9. Very well maintained and fully staffed establishment. The office staff was very accommodating to meet my last minute need of appointment. Manatee -Sarasota Eye Clinic was recommended to me through a good friend and I am very satisfied!

  10. I had a frightening problem with my right eye and asked Coastal for a same day appointment to check it out – they worked me in, did a thorough exam and took care of my concerns. I really appreciate their prompt and thoughtful response.

  11. I thank God for allowing my Eye Physician to refer me to Coastal Eye Institute of Bradenton. I thank God for Dr. Edelman and his staff for their kind and gentle services during my cataract surgery and the process of healing. I would …

  12. Sat in waiting room 45 minutes before seeing a Dr, sat in other rooms alone over and over. I was there for 3 hours to get an examine. at the of appt I had to ask to get a script and I specifically asked for my pupil distance measurement. they did not give it to me.

  13. My wife and I have been seeing Dr. Edelman for several years. This summer I had cataract surgery on both eyes and was exceptionally -pleased with both the process and the results. Strongly recommend Dr. Edelman and Coastal Eye Institute.

  14. After receiving excellent care from Dr Berman and his staff, we were surprised when we returned to their optometry store only to be treated with indifference by the staff that operates that part of their eye care practice. We walked out …

  15. My physician recommended Costal Eye, as I needed new glasses and told him I had new eye floaters in my left eye. I called ahead to ensure they took my insurance, BCBS, which they said they did. I double checked when I got there as well. …

  16. When I needed to see Dr.Davis for a sudden eye issue, I was booked the same day. I highly recommend Dr. Jeffrey M. Davis and his staff. It’s a
    great place for an annual exam for people with Diabetes. …

  17. We have been patients of Dr. Friedberg for many years. I have always received the best treatment, and all questions have been answered throughly. The staff consists of professional individuals who strive to provide excellent care. My husband and I strongly recommend Coastal Eye Institute!

  18. Visit was quick. It really helps my mom read the letters on eye chart if the letters a highlighted. She has a short attention span. Sometimes what comes out of her mouth and what she sees aren’t the same.

  24. I called to ask about an appointment for my daughter, they only were concerned with what insurance I had. I am actually glad because I found a great Dr. who was more concerned about patients, not payment. While I understand it is a business, I was more than willing to pay what ever the fee, upfront.

  25. It took @ 2.5 hours from my appointment time to get to the finish line. It is always worth the wait for Dr. Edelman, and I know he runs late because he actually takes time to talk with each patient commensurate to their need. I do wonder if …

  26. I wanted to know how long it would be before I could get an an appointment for my first visit. I have a floater that I wanted checked. Didn’t care what Dr. I have health ins, but no eye care. I told her repeatedly I would pay cash. All I …

  27. So appreciative of the steps they’ve taken to protect patients and staff. From the hand sanitizer stand before you walk into the building, to the spaced waiting room chairs and temperature being taken when you first walk in. I felt very comfortable in having an appointment during these scary times.

  28. Was in with my mother for her appointment she had not felt well and had been recently hospitalized she had an episode I was unaware of the staff caught this and noticed how not well she really was instead of doing the appointment the staff …

  29. Front desk staff was rude and condescending. Treated senior patients as though they could not hear when it was obvious we could. When asked for an updated eye glasses prescription asked with we wanted one because we scratched our glasses …

  30. The scheduling here is a nightmare. Be prepared to spend hours waiting for your 5 minutes with the doctor. Not considerate of patients time whatsoever. I thought it was a one off the first time, but now it just infuriates me that I have to …

  31. I had an emergency and woke up with a swollen eye. I tried to get an appointment for the same day and they would not make an appointment for same day unless you are already a patient. So don’t call them for help if you need it right away.

  40. The staff was extremely friendly, professional and attentive, my husband felt welcomed and valued.
    Dr. Davis was patient, he spent ample time explaining the details of my husbands eye care needs and concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Davis and staff @ Coastal Eye Institute.

  41. I was visiting Anna Maria Island and had an emergency with my eye. The eye institute managed to fit me in the following day with a retinal specialist, Anita Shane. She was outstanding as was the entire staff. I was thoroughly impressed. There was a long wait but it was well worth it to get outstanding care.

  42. 5 stars all the way! Dr. Davis is adorable and an incredibly skilled eye surgeon. He completely restored my vision-removed both of my cataracts and implanted a lens for reading. For the first time in my life, since I was 8 years old, I do …

  43. Dr. Edleman was extremely condescending and would not listen to anything I said. He tried to tell me my vision in my eye went blurry over night due to my age (20!!). I also was there for problems with my eye, not for glasses, and he told me …

  49. I have been seen by so many eye doctors and never found anyone like Dr. Edelman and his staff at the Coastal Eye Institute in Bradenton. From the moment I made my appointment through my exit after my visit, the experience was so satisfying. …

  50. I was referred over to Dr. Menezes, by her partner Dr. Edelman, worst mistake. She expected me to go out of network and self-pay (in the middle of the pandemic) for testing that would otherwise be covered by my insurance. Because I did …

  51. Great staff, very professional. All your questions regarding treatment
    will be answered. Will get you in & out in a reasonable time with minimal hassle.

  63. The Doctor is very thorough, and the staff are all wonderful ! The Doctor plans to retire soon which I am sad about, though happy for her! I also see another Dr in this practice whom I also like, so I will continue my care with him. This is a very pleasant and thorough practice that I would recommend to anyone.

  64. I was refused service because I wouldn’t wear a mask . You would think by now with all this controversy over the vaccine and all the booster masks wouldn’t be needed. You would think people would have common sense to realize that, …
