  44. 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.

  45. 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 …

  78. 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?

  79. 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 …

  82. 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.

  83. 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.

  88. 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.

  91. 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.

  92. 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.

  93. 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.

  94. 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 …

  95. 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 …

  98. 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 …

  99. 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. …

  100. 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.

  101. 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.

  102. 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 …

  105. 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.

  106. 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.

  107. 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.

  108. 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.

  109. 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 …

  110. I had cataracts removed from both eyes. Dr Shoemaker did a fantastic job. My vision is clear and I no longer need contacts lens nor glasses.

  115. 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 …

  116. 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 …

  117. Excellence from scheduling to initial screening to meeting with your Doctor even the staff at the payment window are well trained, professional & very friendly.

  118. 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.

  189. 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.

  196. 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 …

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!
