Dr Jeffrey Davis went beyond current visit problem to help me with understanding a better life style
Staff, physicians friendly and professional — just VERY crowded – seemed to limit of capacity on a Tuesday afternoon?
Dr Friedberg and Andrea both are very professional. It’s comforting to know you are in good hands.

My mother has to wait over a hour and a half to have her eye exam, even with am appointment. And she is handicap and elderly.
Terrible service
Great staff and atmosphere. Highly recommend Dr. E. Edelman. I travel from Port Richey to Bradenton for appointments. That says a lot.

Felt like I was calling the IRS
Called the Eye Depot and they were awesome!!!
Great place for outstanding eye care! I’ve needed specialized care since birth. I’ve visited doctors from Florida to Chicago and you rank highest! Thanks!
Going to miss Dr Menezes who is one top notch specialist 🙁 …
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.
Have been Dr Khators patient for over 4yrs. She is professional, highly trained, and very personable.
Thank you so much to Dr. Edelman and his wonderful staff for all their help in making my cataract surgery experience so easy. Highly recommended by me.

Great people, good service and Dr. Menezes is the best.
All of the staff were friendly professional and efficient. The facility was ver clean. Great experience. So important in these difficult times.
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.
Great, timely care in a very busy practice. Dr. Edelman was very competent and a pleasure to meet.
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!!
.
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 …
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!
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!
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.
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 …
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.
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.
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 …
The staff was excellent and very helpful. I would recommend the office to my family and friends.
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. …
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

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.
I was received promptly, prepped properly and promptly for my laser surgery from a courteous and caring staff. Dr. Khator did an excellent job on the surgery. Thanks, to all!

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.
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 …
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 …
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.
Every staff member efficient helpful.I have been a client since 2014

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 …
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.

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.
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.
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 …
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 …

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 …

Always professional, did a really thorough exam, my eyes feel like they had a workout still a little sore, which I think is good, nothing missed
The entire office staff along with eye technicians, and doctors are excellent. They couldn’t be more professional

As usual a thorough eye exam that assured me of the status of the condition of my eyes/eyesight. Grateful for the tears of medical care provided by Dr Allison Menezes. Will miss her but wish her the best in the future.
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.
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, …
Dr. Menezes is one of the most caring Dr.s. I’ve ever been to. Not only is she caring but very thorough. She encouraged me to make some life changes and even took the time to write me a letter concerning my health. She truly cares about me as her patient and I am so very grateful to her. Thank you for your advice!
