More than perfect, I have not word to qualify the job their doing at Center For Sight-Sarasota. I went there unable to read and see, not even with glasses and now I see like a little child again. To me their job is more than excellent. I will score them with a AAA+++++.

In a word. WOW! I had lens replacement surgery and can say that every step of the process exceeded my expectations. This organization is run better then just about any I’ve ever seen.

Everything else was great.

My first time at Center for Sight. I was impressed with the professionalism of Dr Kim, Heather and Debbie. A lot was done to carefully gather my somewhat complex eye history!
Everyone at the eye center were professional. At the same time they were kind and understanding. They took the time to explain what they were doing and why. Getting surgery on your eyes, is very scary. They answered all my questions which lessened my anxiety.
I showed up the morning of my cataract surgery and was ushered into a cold room with at least 20 other patients lying on gurneys. If you are apprehensive about any surgery you should avoid this pre-op. The anesthetist never introduced …
The Center for Sight offers a range of services. Everyone there is friendly and attentive. I have had two appointments there during the current pandemic and noticed a high degree of cleanliness. They do a good job keeping up with health and safety guidelines.

Had cataract removed from my left eye by Dr. Kim on Monday. Was quite nervous before the surgery but after it was all done it was less stressful than a dentist visit! Already seeing real color and better vision without glasses. Getting right eye next week and very comfortable knowing I am in the care of Dr. Kim and his assistants.
I had been diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes more than a year ago. I was told that I did not have to do anything at that time, but in awhile I would begin to notice my vision deteriorating. …

The best place for eye care. The doctors and staff are the best.
My only knock is the wait time between your appointment time and when staff takes you back to do the tests, before seeing the doctor. Not sure what is going on there.
I met with Kathy Peary and Dr Kim. I told them both, I do not take IV,s. Dr. Kim just stared at me, never mentioning IV and left after 7 minutes. Kathy then entered info on computer.. I stated again, I do not take IV. She said they may …

Raul did a great job with my refraction and Dr. Schaub, as always, explained my current eye health and updated prescriptions so I would always have supply!
I started seeing Dr. Schaub when I lived in Sarasota several years ago. I’ve since moved out of Sarasota and still make over an hour drive to see him. That should tell u a lot about him as a doctor. I recommend him to anyone and everyone …

A place of excellence. Staff very professional & friendly. Dr. Shoemaker is the best in his field. Had both eyes done for cataracts & I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Most of my experiences here have been good. I’ve been going here for about five years. I went for cataract removal and lens placement to begin. They went really well. So pleased with that outcome. Dr Leherner is a wonderful Doc and he takes …

Scheduling seems to be a problem as are some of their questionable Accounting practices. We have been patients of CFS for over 10yrs and have always been happy until recently. Their has growth affected patient care and their accountability. We are very dissatisfied!
I was in and out in less than two hours. Everyone of the staff was friendly and comforting. The cataract surgery was interesting but very minor discomfort. My eyesight three days later is so much clearer!

I arrived @12:30PM, had surgery & was ordering my lunch in a restaurant by 2PM. Every person was pleasant & professional. Highly recommend. 5*.
It was great! Friendly dedicated staff and doctor. I was asked if I wanted to purchase the 75.00 eye drops for cataract surgery and I would like to buy this. The cvs prescription is more costly – can I just go back to the office and pick it up?
Whilst I have no issues with the medical staff and am perfectly happy with the treatment I am given, I do not think it acceptable that I am in the center for over 1.5 hours just to see the doctor for 5 minutes! My appointment was for …

My name is William Buckley I had cataract surgery yesterday from Dr. Kim.The procedure is outstanding, the nurses are very professional and Dr. Kim is probably the best eye surgeon you could find. The Center for Sight is the most professional eye care place in Florida. If you need any kind of eye exams come here.
Dr Soscia is fantastic at what he does and he has the kind approach and personality to go along with it. ALL STAFF and I mean from the first contact with desk staff to in the surgery area go beyond with their care and their kindness. Really a great experience. Recommend very highly.
My experience with Pia was wonderful. She has a wealth of knowledge about skin care and a very individualized approach. I will be a loyal and grateful client!!
Very impressive with Center for Sight ! Dr. Socia and the entire team there were top notch. My vision is improved dramatically and the teamwork there and expertise is awesome! I would highly recommend without doubt for cataract removal and lens replacement.
The pre-tests & information went well.
The cataract surgery went well & the vision the next day was very good.
The one problem was the attempt to insert my IV was a disaster & left my arm a bruised mess.
The staff at Center for Sight were very polite and professional and the whole place was run like a well oiled machine. Very happy with my results. Thank you to all at Center for Sight.
If I was you I wouldn’t get the advance lens I’m having so many problems with them and every time I went in there for help they just told me it’s dry eye all the care about is the money and most of their doctor are so over worked to me it’s …
Very efficient which made it quick. Staff friendly. I found Dr. Shoemaker a little rough in positioning my head during surgery. I also must add that I was in a twilight state of awareness.
All in all it was a pleasant experience.
Dr. Lahners did my left surgery and it went smooth. I was very nervous and the nurses were so patient and spoke to me in a very kind understanding manner. I did not feel anything and it was so fast. They talked me exactly how the whole …
This office is spot on. I had my appointment on time. Everyone was so professional and nice. Dr. Lahner took time to explain all options. I drove an hour to come here for the refractory lens exchange so I won’t have to wear glasses again. 5 stars out of 5. This place is a well oiled machine.
I went to Center for Sight for an eye exam at their office on Tamiami Trail. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone who helped me during my experience was kind, curteous, and professional. Dr. Maloney was very knowledgeable, saying I definitely needed cataract surgery. I would highly recommend Center for Sight.
All the mechanics of the visit were excellent, and the doctor is first-rate. The only problem is that they were absolutely slammed with clients, so things were a bit slow. All the snowbirds were in to have their eye work done.
Not happy with the company’s follow up. Company was supposed to call to setup an appointment for additional surgery and it has been a month and no one has called. My opinion is that they are trying to wait until my year has passed so that the surgery isn’t covered under the original all inclusive cost.
Sorry to rate 3 BUT the reviews are correct about the waste of time WAITING! Scheduling is so lacking!! There is NO reason for people to wait in LOBBY for hours when you can’t eat or drink after 10am and you are actually waiting on them to …

While the doctors are great, the support staff is terrible. Trying to make appointments or trying to refill eye medication is non existent. You are always sent to a voicemail and prompted to leave a message but they never call back. I’m …
The Cataract surgery I had yesterday was nothing short of amazing. I can see. All this time I thought the pavers around the pool were brown. They’re nearly white. …
Dr. Maloney was so nice and thorough! He put my nerves at ease and was very helpful with my complicated situation. I have a new Dr. and I feel much better about my concerns. I would whole heartedly recommend him.

Everyone was very nice and hopefully my surgery was a success (just had it yesterday so we’ll see) but I wasn’t happy about having to sit in the waiting room for 2 HOURS before they brought me in for my surgery. They apparently told …
The Center for Sight staff was exceptional from the registration,Pre- Op & Surgery staff who displayed excellence professionalism to ensue my comfort level was met before sending me in for surgery. Dr..Lainer talked me throughout the …
It’s now been approx 6 weeks since I had surgery on both eyes at Center for Sight and I couldn’t be happier. I had cataracts removed from both eyes and new lenses implanted. My general eyesight as well as my ability to see color is better …
Best place to come for any eye sight issues. They cared for my Grandmother when she had a cataract, and are now helping my Mom with the same. The only complaint I have is they are always late. My Mom can not drive at night, so I have to bring her just in case it is dark by the time her appointment is over.
I can’t believe that I have 20/20 vision the day after cataract surgery. Dr Shoemaker used the Synergy lens on both my eyes and my vision is perfect! It’s like a miracle. While having eye surgery can be scary, I found the procedure to be painless and the results are fabulous.
Excellent care. Wonderful staff and caring nurses. Preparation was speedy and efficient and surgery was quick and painless. Awesome doctors, recommend highly for all of your eye care.
The operation went very smoothy. The prep team very professional and Dr. De Rojas finished with no discomfort on my part. The only part I didn’t care for was the two hour wait.

Dr. Schaub was great with my daughter. Very thorough and made her feel comfortable.

You should notify patients taking the van that they can bring a small “snack” and bottle of water to eat after the surgery.
After fasting and the pressure of the surgery one is hungry for at least a small snack.
Wonderful experience with Center For Sight. Dr. Soscia was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad I chose Center For Sight and would highly recommend to anyone.
The procedures were clearly explained to me and my difficulty in keeping my eyes open was met with compassion and professional courtesy. The equipment was state of the art. Dr Banker explained my current condition and made …
From the receptionist to the surgeon everyone was very courteous, kind and professional. The entire system runs efficiently and confidently. We felt we were being cared for the every step of the way. And were kept very well informed. BUT …
Wonderful place. Friendly staff from check in to check out. Very thorough exam. I had my first cataract surgery done by Dr Shoemaker 2 years ago and it was a huge success. Hoping for the same outcome next week when I have my other eye …

I just wanted to take a few moments and share the wonderful and professional experience I received here at the Center for Sight. My physician was Dr. Soscia. My treatment here began after the Dr. for my regular eye exam was unable to see …
The doctors and staff are top notch & make every effort to make procedures as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend Center for Sight for all your visual concerns & procedures.
Staff were very professional and made me feel I was in good hands. Preliminary instructions for upcoming procedures were explained which helped reinforce my confidence in the entire and the surgeon.
Dr Logan, Carrie and the team are top notch taking plenty of time to discuss your issue and treatment in language that is not “Dr speak”and help find the best course of action for the individual. Patient and informative from checking in to …
Other than not receiving a follow-up call the evening of the surgery, I couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience.
Dr Fezza is extremely efficient and professional; highly recommend!
I cannot express enough my gratitude and thanks to everyone for such great care. The medical, and technical proficiency with extraordinary patient service was spectacular.
They didn’t blind me, and my distance vision is 20/25, but I bought into the bs about that “special” lens that would mean NO GLASSES. Here I am 17 months later wearing reading glasses and the sad part is, I DIDN’T NEED READING GLASSES …
Dr. Kim and his staff were professional and efficient. My cataract surgery went smoothly thanks to Dr. Kim’s exceptional experience and knowledge. I felt that that the nurse and anesthesiologist were both attentive and supportive preparing me for the procedure.
Very disappointed with the process. This is a corporate process that works on an assembly line with no concern for individuals. Saw Dr. DeRojas for less than 5 minutes before surgery and not at all on day of surgery because I was already …
I have always had a five-star rating for this company but things have changed. I recently spoke with a woman at the Siesta Drive office named Chris. My purpose in talking with her was because I had recently had an eye exam with the VA and …
Very pleased with my experience at Center for Sight! From Emily, to Jean, to Dr. Schaub, and the ladies at the reception desk, everyone was friendly, professional, and helpful! Emily and Dr. Schaub were extremely thorough during the exam process and the new prescription for my glasses is perfect!
Very pleased w/ results of my first cataract surgery. Thankful for the van service from Venice to Sarasota surgery center. Surgery was swift to say the least. I can already see well with that “new eye” !!! ❤️🙏🏼😃 …
I felt very comfortable. Everyone was very professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. It was a good experience for both eyes. I would recommend the Center For Sight and Dr. Shoemaker for cataract surgery.
I’m so glad I trusted my instincts (as well as the glowing Google reviews left). The staff and systems in place are excellent. Drs Shoemaker, Banker and Maloney were all seasoned professionals with the added bonus of being kind and …
Very pleasant experience, every part of the procedure was very well organized from check-in to check-out. Not even two hours time for the whole process, I can already see better with only 36 hours since procedure was done, driving myself to follow up appointment today. Can’t wait for second one to be done in 6 days!
What a NIGHTMARE!! Appointment at 1:15. Sat in room with more than a dozen others waiting for same doctor at the same time!!! 4 hours later… I FINALLY got called!! …
Dr. Maloney is great. My service is fast and efficient when I am there. The only issue I have at the moment is the follow up. It took a month and 3 voice mails to get the sample contacts, and I am still waiting on a prescription that I …
Wonderful experience with my cataract surgery. The only negative is that it is extremely busy and there was a long wait time. I was told to arrive at 11:15 and expect to go home at 1:15. I didn’t get to the operating room until 2:00. Once …
The assistant that did most of my exam, Linda, was so knowledgeable and wonderful to explain everything to me. Very personable and kind. The Dr I saw was very professional with a caring bedside manner. Jean at the glasses counter was the …
Center for Sight is a very efficient operation. Dr. Shoemaker is a wonderful surgeon. My cataract surgery went extremely well! Dr.Schaub OD is a very caring and knowledgeable man. …
An efficient center that inspires confidence and a professional, knowledgeable technician. Perhaps most important, a doctor with impressive credentials and a friendly, approachable demeanor.
ALMOST $10.000 SURGERY BY DR DE ROJAS, AND I WAS CHARGED OVER $500.00 FOR CORRECTION IN ONE EYE. DR DE ROJAS TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY, THE PRICE FOR CORRECTION IS INCLUDED. NOW I TRY TO GET APPOINTMENT TO CORRECT ANOTHER EYE, ALTHOUGH I HAVE …
I would not trust my eyes with anyone else!! Very professional in all they do and incredibly caring from the 1st person you encounter at the front desk to the last person that sees you to the door!!! I will Highly recommend Center for Sight to anyone and everyone ❤️
Had cataract surgery the staff was friendly and informed me what was going to happen. Dr. De Rojas did the procedure very fast and no pain. Can’t wait to have my other eye done.
This was my first time at Center for Sight and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Dr. Soscia and his team did a fabulous job with their analysis and their explanation of the health of my eyes.
The efficiency and professionalism of the Center, and by Dr Shoemaker and his amazing team, make me confident that entrusting them with my sight and my future is a good decision. I can’t wait to see better when I drive and to throw out a dozen 300 readers!
I had the Vivity intraocular lens to replace my cataract during cata ract surgery over 2 years ago. It felt like a sales job to get me to spend almost $8000 and my vision got worse. I wish I had never had it done. After a year I was told on the phone that my doctor’s team had dismissed me. It was devastating. Run .while you can.
Center for sights has a terrible problem when it comes to their Billing Department. The issue is they that always over collect at time of service then you can never talk directly to their Billing Department regarding credits or additional …
I’m very happy with the results to be able to see without my glasses. The staff was very nice and professional and they took very good care of me. And many thanks to Dr. Soscia for a excellent job.
The first leg of the process was a bit troubling, But Ginger Stone and Jack, turned it around by being personable and professional. Dr Shoemaker and his surgery team went above and beyond what I could of even imagined! My vision is amazing! So Thankful for Dr Shoemaker on this Thanksgiving Day.

Although a very busy surgical center, the staff is very efficient and works well together. They continually double check information and openly communicate with patients. It was obvious that they have the experience.
Prior to having Lasik surgery, make sure that you ask questions and tell the surgeon to fully explain the likely results of surgery. I did not ask enough questions and the surgeon absolutely did not explain the probable results. I am …
Dr. Rojas and his team were amazing during my LASIK experience. During the procedure he told me step by step what he was about to do and how it would make me feel. I am healing very well the day after. I would recommend in the future.
I went for lasik consultation with Dr. De Rojas which I paid $128. His assistant was terrible at determining my eye prescription. I gave her my current prescription. She kept telling me to try harder to read the letter/numbers. I told her …
Center for Sight has been my everything optical since I moved to North Port 7 years ago. I have always been happy with the staff and the services. This past year I was diagnosed with a viral infection and was needing to be seen 2 to 3 times …
Dr. Shoemaker lived up to all I was told he would be. Don’t remember much about him personally, but I got the results I needed. I now see 20/20 in my right eye. Had the left eye done yesterday and need more time for results. I expect …
Excellent care and very professional staff! I was kept informed at every step of the process before and up to surgery. All staff involved in my care either introduced themselves to me or were identified by name and role by others. A coordinated team effort. Three cheers for Dr. Fezza and the entire team!
Excellent care from the staff at CFS and Dr Shoemaker. Lens replacement was a breeze considering that I hate to have my eyes touched or worked on. Dr S was gentle and amazingly competent and his staff really made me feel comfortable prior …
My experience at Center for Sight was good. Each step of the process was handled professionally. I feel they had my best interest at the forefront. So far the result of the surgery is excellent. I would recommend Center for Sight.

I was diagnosed with uveitis in 2013. I’m convinced that the Center for Sight’s expert care and quick action saved my eyesight. Always reasonably quick and courteous service highly trained professional staff if there’s only one negative the …
Went for appointment, before appointment was started I asked the front desk how much the visit would be for a basic eye and contact lenses exam. she stated $4. I asked this specifically so there was full transparency and no surprises. All I …
I am sure this place has some competent doctors, but that was not my experience. But the bigger problem is the customer service which is non existent. The contacts I ordered were non functional and so after almost two years of trying to …
Concern about patient portal which needs to be addressed. I have left 3 messages on patient portal. Last message concerned prescribed eye solution. Message left on 9/22. Received response by phone because tech saw the date of message tried …

More than perfect, I have not word to qualify the job their doing at Center For Sight-Sarasota. I went there unable to read and see, not even with glasses and now I see like a little child again. To me their job is more than excellent. I will score them with a AAA+++++.
I was not happy with the way I was treated for my second procedure of cataract removal. It was very rushed and the drops for my eye had not fully taken effect. therefore, I felt pain when the doctor started the procedure. If this would have …

Dr. Kyle Shaub is the best OD in Florida. I highly recommend him and the Center for Sight for all of your eye care needs.

Superb staff supporting the surgeons. Patient comfort is job one. Pre-op was easy, the surgery itself was over in under 10 minutes with multiple procedures. The entire staff far exceeded my expectations. Truly a world class surgery …
Was not happy at all. Cornea surgery scheduled for 1:30. Did not get called into prep room until 4:30. Very inconsiderate of scheduling because I could not eat after midnight the night before.
Great process including van coverage. Doctor and support staff are amazing. I will recommend you to anyone with eye issues!

Well run operation . Everyone from the reception desk to the check out were beyond polite and knowledgeable.

Everything else was great.
Very professionally run. Seems like every effort is made to streamline the process so there’s very little waiting time. And of course the medical care is excellent. I feel very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. McCann

My first time at Center for Sight. I was impressed with the professionalism of Dr Kim, Heather and Debbie. A lot was done to carefully gather my somewhat complex eye history!
Everyone at the eye center were professional. At the same time they were kind and understanding. They took the time to explain what they were doing and why. Getting surgery on your eyes, is very scary. They answered all my questions which lessened my anxiety.
I showed up the morning of my cataract surgery and was ushered into a cold room with at least 20 other patients lying on gurneys. If you are apprehensive about any surgery you should avoid this pre-op. The anesthetist never introduced …
Staff was extremely efficient and friendly. Fantastic establishment. Will highly recommend. Thanks everyone ‼️
The Center for Sight offers a range of services. Everyone there is friendly and attentive. I have had two appointments there during the current pandemic and noticed a high degree of cleanliness. They do a good job keeping up with health and safety guidelines.

Staff and Dr. Shoemaker are caring, knowledgeable, and efficient. A best practice. Anticipating great results.
Had cataract removed from my left eye by Dr. Kim on Monday. Was quite nervous before the surgery but after it was all done it was less stressful than a dentist visit! Already seeing real color and better vision without glasses. Getting right eye next week and very comfortable knowing I am in the care of Dr. Kim and his assistants.

Everyone was extremely kind and courateous. exceptionally clean facility. I had one cataract removed and will have the other eye done next week. I removed one star because there was a problem finding vein to insert IV and I had to to be stuck twice
First time for cataract surgery and it could not have been better, Super professional staff (who very kindly laughed at my jokes) The wait was brief, the prep was professional and reassuring and the surgery painless and over in a flash (in …
The best place for eye care. The doctors and staff are the best.
My only knock is the wait time between your appointment time and when staff takes you back to do the tests, before seeing the doctor. Not sure what is going on there.
I met with Kathy Peary and Dr Kim. I told them both, I do not take IV,s. Dr. Kim just stared at me, never mentioning IV and left after 7 minutes. Kathy then entered info on computer.. I stated again, I do not take IV. She said they may …

A place of excellence. Staff very professional & friendly. Dr. Shoemaker is the best in his field. Had both eyes done for cataracts & I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Most of my experiences here have been good. I’ve been going here for about five years. I went for cataract removal and lens placement to begin. They went really well. So pleased with that outcome. Dr Leherner is a wonderful Doc and he takes …

Scheduling seems to be a problem as are some of their questionable Accounting practices. We have been patients of CFS for over 10yrs and have always been happy until recently. Their has growth affected patient care and their accountability. We are very dissatisfied!
I was in and out in less than two hours. Everyone of the staff was friendly and comforting. The cataract surgery was interesting but very minor discomfort. My eyesight three days later is so much clearer!

Once I decided that I might need cataract surgery, a friend recommended Center for Sight. Just finished my first eye yesterday and everything went very smoothly. I counted that I interfaced with 20 staff members during my entire surgery …
Appointment times mean little. The assembly line doesn’t run efficiently. Also, was directed to the wrong locations for a series of appointments.
I was late for my appointment, which is always embarrassing, but the staff were as friendly and understanding as always. The best eye-docs in town! In fifteen years, with several different conditions Center for Sight has always been the best, and we wouldn’t go anywhere else!!!

I just experienced my first cataract surgery and the whole experience was amazing. I knew that I had a terrific surgeon, Dr. Shoemaker, but was very impressed by the kind, efficient and very competent staff. I cannot praise the Center too highly. Also, my result is terrific.

Great experience. When you arrive for your surgery you’re called in w/in a minute. They have you arrive the exact proper amount of time ahead to prep you for your surgery. No waiting around. I arrived @12:30PM, had surgery & was ordering my lunch in a restaurant by 2PM. Every person was pleasant & professional. Highly recommend. 5*.
It was great! Friendly dedicated staff and doctor. I was asked if I wanted to purchase the 75.00 eye drops for cataract surgery and I would like to buy this. The cvs prescription is more costly – can I just go back to the office and pick it up?
Whilst I have no issues with the medical staff and am perfectly happy with the treatment I am given, I do not think it acceptable that I am in the center for over 1.5 hours just to see the doctor for 5 minutes! My appointment was for …

My name is William Buckley I had cataract surgery yesterday from Dr. Kim.The procedure is outstanding, the nurses are very professional and Dr. Kim is probably the best eye surgeon you could find. The Center for Sight is the most professional eye care place in Florida. If you need any kind of eye exams come here.
Dr Soscia is fantastic at what he does and he has the kind approach and personality to go along with it. ALL STAFF and I mean from the first contact with desk staff to in the surgery area go beyond with their care and their kindness. Really a great experience. Recommend very highly.
My experience with Pia was wonderful. She has a wealth of knowledge about skin care and a very individualized approach. I will be a loyal and grateful client!!

The pre-tests & information went well.
The cataract surgery went well & the vision the next day was very good.
The one problem was the attempt to insert my IV was a disaster & left my arm a bruised mess.
The staff at Center for Sight were very polite and professional and the whole place was run like a well oiled machine. Very happy with my results. Thank you to all at Center for Sight.
If I was you I wouldn’t get the advance lens I’m having so many problems with them and every time I went in there for help they just told me it’s dry eye all the care about is the money and most of their doctor are so over worked to me it’s …
Very efficient which made it quick. Staff friendly. I found Dr. Shoemaker a little rough in positioning my head during surgery. I also must add that I was in a twilight state of awareness.
All in all it was a pleasant experience.
Dr. Lahners did my left surgery and it went smooth. I was very nervous and the nurses were so patient and spoke to me in a very kind understanding manner. I did not feel anything and it was so fast. They talked me exactly how the whole …
This office is spot on. I had my appointment on time. Everyone was so professional and nice. Dr. Lahner took time to explain all options. I drove an hour to come here for the refractory lens exchange so I won’t have to wear glasses again. 5 stars out of 5. This place is a well oiled machine.
morning? Was 110% satisfied with the Center for Sight. I have a follow up this morning. I have a couple questions: …
I went to Center for Sight for an eye exam at their office on Tamiami Trail. It was a wonderful experience. Everyone who helped me during my experience was kind, curteous, and professional. Dr. Maloney was very knowledgeable, saying I definitely needed cataract surgery. I would highly recommend Center for Sight.
Dr D. Shoemaker and his Staff have performed with Friendliness and Professional work ABOVE of there Normal requirements a .
5 + would be my choice …
All the mechanics of the visit were excellent, and the doctor is first-rate. The only problem is that they were absolutely slammed with clients, so things were a bit slow. All the snowbirds were in to have their eye work done.
Team was fantastic, my surgery will take time to see results
Not happy with the company’s follow up. Company was supposed to call to setup an appointment for additional surgery and it has been a month and no one has called. My opinion is that they are trying to wait until my year has passed so that the surgery isn’t covered under the original all inclusive cost.
Sorry to rate 3 BUT the reviews are correct about the waste of time WAITING! Scheduling is so lacking!! There is NO reason for people to wait in LOBBY for hours when you can’t eat or drink after 10am and you are actually waiting on them to …
I have been going to Center for Sight eye care center for the past 12 years. Initially I had some eye concerns and saw Dr. Kim. He took great care of my eye issue, answered my questions and was very caring. This year I saw Dr. Schaub for my …

While the doctors are great, the support staff is terrible. Trying to make appointments or trying to refill eye medication is non existent. You are always sent to a voicemail and prompted to leave a message but they never call back. I’m …
The Cataract surgery I had yesterday was nothing short of amazing. I can see. All this time I thought the pavers around the pool were brown. They’re nearly white. …
My surgery was a good experience. Everyone made me feel comfortable, and at ease. Everything ran smoothly, and Dr Shoemaker ROCKED it!!!
Dr. Maloney was so nice and thorough! He put my nerves at ease and was very helpful with my complicated situation. I have a new Dr. and I feel much better about my concerns. I would whole heartedly recommend him.
Not knowing what to expect, I was a little nervous on arrival for the first of two Cataract surgeries. The process was simple, staff professional and friendly, facilities comfortable and relaxed. It couldn’t have been a better experience. Highly recommended! Thank you.
Everyone was very nice and hopefully my surgery was a success (just had it yesterday so we’ll see) but I wasn’t happy about having to sit in the waiting room for 2 HOURS before they brought me in for my surgery. They apparently told …
The Center for Sight staff was exceptional from the registration,Pre- Op & Surgery staff who displayed excellence professionalism to ensue my comfort level was met before sending me in for surgery. Dr..Lainer talked me throughout the …

Doctor was great Everyone was so helpful and made you feel like you weee their first patient. Great attitudes, made you feel very comfortable.
Best place to come for any eye sight issues. They cared for my Grandmother when she had a cataract, and are now helping my Mom with the same. The only complaint I have is they are always late. My Mom can not drive at night, so I have to bring her just in case it is dark by the time her appointment is over.
I can’t believe that I have 20/20 vision the day after cataract surgery. Dr Shoemaker used the Synergy lens on both my eyes and my vision is perfect! It’s like a miracle. While having eye surgery can be scary, I found the procedure to be painless and the results are fabulous.
The staff and doctors are first rate. They took very good care of me…
Excellent care. Wonderful staff and caring nurses. Preparation was speedy and efficient and surgery was quick and painless. Awesome doctors, recommend highly for all of your eye care.
Everyone was professional, kind, and helpful to make my experience successful. Everyone was GREAT!
The operation went very smoothy. The prep team very professional and Dr. De Rojas finished with no discomfort on my part. The only part I didn’t care for was the two hour wait.
The Center for Sight is outstanding. Their staff and Doctors are the most caring professionals. Dr. Banker is a professional and provides excellent patient care. He makes sure to answer all of your questions and concerns. He even call me …

Dr Lahners and the staff at the Center for Sight are outstanding eye care specialists. My experiences with them were excellent. They are kind and considerate. They answered my questions and made the feel comfortable. They are highly skilled professionals. I highly recommend them.
CFS is very efficient, uses state of the art equipment, and the staff seems well trained. However, if you expect to see the surgeon more than the 5 minutes he allocates at the initial evaluation, you will be sorely disappointed. I would …
My sister was a patient at Center for Sight about five years ago and always had the best care from the Doctors and all who treated her. I drove her to every appointment and I remember the respect and attention she always got from everyone …
Excellence from scheduling to initial screening to meeting with your Doctor even the staff at the payment window are well trained, professional & very friendly. Depending upon your C4S appointment location, the only frustration you may have is finding parking. Highly recommend Dr. Schaub & his team.
I have been a patient at Center for Sight for several years and my experience there has been excellent. My recent cataract surgey has been a very positive experience. From the front desk employees, the technicians, nurses Dr Shoemaker and Dr Lenhart have all been very friendly and professional.
For reference, I’m in my late 20s and have been wearing glasses/contacts since I was in middle school. I finally, saved enough money to get LASIK, and I regret nothing. My vision was absolutely terrible. I couldn’t leave my house without …

I was taken in on time. The pre-consultation exams were so thorough, and each team member was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. Not to mention polite. …
A very high service level. Everyone was courteous and professional, and I felt like I got a very thorough and complete exam. The service in the optometry department was excellent and I had no problem finding a great frame.
5 stars.. and then some! Dr. Soschia AND the entire team were proactive and hands-on with me the entire way through my cataract surgery. I had previous surgeries which created some apprehension on my part and they put me at ease. Thank you Center for Sight!

Very professional, very efficient and helpful. Katherine listened intently, took notes, then explained what I am experiencing and how different cataract implants would help me. The best, most thorough explanation I’ve ever had. I’m actually looking forward to my surgery.
My experience has been a positive one with Center For Sight. Dr. Shoemaker and his entire team are skilled, efficient, organized, and kind. They are thorough and give specifics concerning your vision allowing you to make informed decisions. I recommend them highly.

My experience with my cataract surgery was great from being picked up by the courteous, professional driver of the van to the surgical team being comforting and very capable. The only thing I was upset about was the price of all the eye drops even with Good RX.
Dr Schaub is a great eye dr. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! He’s professional and knows what he’s doing!
Started out as a great experience, Wonderful young lady that did all of my eye testing, a wonderful Physician, Lori Vollmer, Optometric Physician.

You should notify patients taking the van that they can bring a small “snack” and bottle of water to eat after the surgery.
After fasting and the pressure of the surgery one is hungry for at least a small snack.
Wonderful experience with Center For Sight. Dr. Soscia was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad I chose Center For Sight and would highly recommend to anyone.

Dr Fezza is extremely efficient and professional; highly recommend!
I cannot express enough my gratitude and thanks to everyone for such great care. The medical, and technical proficiency with extraordinary patient service was spectacular.
They didn’t blind me, and my distance vision is 20/25, but I bought into the bs about that “special” lens that would mean NO GLASSES. Here I am 17 months later wearing reading glasses and the sad part is, I DIDN’T NEED READING GLASSES …
Dr. Kim and his staff were professional and efficient. My cataract surgery went smoothly thanks to Dr. Kim’s exceptional experience and knowledge. I felt that that the nurse and anesthesiologist were both attentive and supportive preparing me for the procedure.
Very disappointed with the process. This is a corporate process that works on an assembly line with no concern for individuals. Saw Dr. DeRojas for less than 5 minutes before surgery and not at all on day of surgery because I was already …

Very pleasant experience, every part of the procedure was very well organized from check-in to check-out. Not even two hours time for the whole process, I can already see better with only 36 hours since procedure was done, driving myself to follow up appointment today. Can’t wait for second one to be done in 6 days!
What a NIGHTMARE!! Appointment at 1:15. Sat in room with more than a dozen others waiting for same doctor at the same time!!! 4 hours later… I FINALLY got called!! …
Dr. Maloney is great. My service is fast and efficient when I am there. The only issue I have at the moment is the follow up. It took a month and 3 voice mails to get the sample contacts, and I am still waiting on a prescription that I …
Wonderful experience with my cataract surgery. The only negative is that it is extremely busy and there was a long wait time. I was told to arrive at 11:15 and expect to go home at 1:15. I didn’t get to the operating room until 2:00. Once …

An efficient center that inspires confidence and a professional, knowledgeable technician. Perhaps most important, a doctor with impressive credentials and a friendly, approachable demeanor.
Dr. Schaub is the best. He is very thorough and explains things when I have questions. The whole staff is very friendly and helpful.
Very organized and efficient. Everyone makes it a pleasant experience. Had a follow up call after my procedure.

This was my first time at Center for Sight and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Dr. Soscia and his team did a fabulous job with their analysis and their explanation of the health of my eyes.
The efficiency and professionalism of the Center, and by Dr Shoemaker and his amazing team, make me confident that entrusting them with my sight and my future is a good decision. I can’t wait to see better when I drive and to throw out a dozen 300 readers!
I had the Vivity intraocular lens to replace my cataract during cata ract surgery over 2 years ago. It felt like a sales job to get me to spend almost $8000 and my vision got worse. I wish I had never had it done. After a year I was told on the phone that my doctor’s team had dismissed me. It was devastating. Run .while you can.
Center for sights has a terrible problem when it comes to their Billing Department. The issue is they that always over collect at time of service then you can never talk directly to their Billing Department regarding credits or additional …
I’m very happy with the results to be able to see without my glasses. The staff was very nice and professional and they took very good care of me. And many thanks to Dr. Soscia for a excellent job.
The first leg of the process was a bit troubling, But Ginger Stone and Jack, turned it around by being personable and professional. Dr Shoemaker and his surgery team went above and beyond what I could of even imagined! My vision is amazing! So Thankful for Dr Shoemaker on this Thanksgiving Day.

Although a very busy surgical center, the staff is very efficient and works well together. They continually double check information and openly communicate with patients. It was obvious that they have the experience.
Prior to having Lasik surgery, make sure that you ask questions and tell the surgeon to fully explain the likely results of surgery. I did not ask enough questions and the surgeon absolutely did not explain the probable results. I am …
Dr. Rojas and his team were amazing during my LASIK experience. During the procedure he told me step by step what he was about to do and how it would make me feel. I am healing very well the day after. I would recommend in the future.
I went for lasik consultation with Dr. De Rojas which I paid $128. His assistant was terrible at determining my eye prescription. I gave her my current prescription. She kept telling me to try harder to read the letter/numbers. I told her …

Excellent care and very professional staff! I was kept informed at every step of the process before and up to surgery. All staff involved in my care either introduced themselves to me or were identified by name and role by others. A coordinated team effort. Three cheers for Dr. Fezza and the entire team!
Excellent care from the staff at CFS and Dr Shoemaker. Lens replacement was a breeze considering that I hate to have my eyes touched or worked on. Dr S was gentle and amazingly competent and his staff really made me feel comfortable prior …
