  1. Everything went fantastic except for some billing issues that we had doing our visit. We are still waiting for resolution to those 2 problems but expected to get done.

  2. I had a detached retina which caused a cataract and almost lost my vision in one eye completely, Dr. Manning performed surgery and I couldn’t be happier, My vision is back to 20-20.

  3. Everything went well Each time I had to change rooms they were sterilized which was very important to me Was seen in a timely manner Treated well by all even when picking up my glasses

  4. The best staff the best Dr. Just the best all around i highly recommend this eye Dr abs his staff is like to day thank you Dr manning Heather Kim and the surgical staff who made my fears disappear and the entire process had been phenomenal

  5. I had a very pleasant encounter with Dr Manning and his staff they all took very good care of me and explained my procedure thoroughly and answered any questions I had they were extremely helpful and pleasant on both of the visits I have had with the office I highly recommend Dr Manning and his staff for anyone who needs eye Care

  6. I have been to Optometrists in Illinois, California, Louisiana and Florida. Dr Liffland, by far, gives the most thorough examinations I ever experienced.
    This is important to me because I have Type II diabetes. Necessary follow up exams are discussed and scheduled based on facts, needs and budgets.

  7. Very professional. Prompt, little waiting. Communicated well, answered all questions. Cataract surgery was quick and painless; I’m happy with the results. Could be more expansive in presenting multi-focal lens cost.

  8. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Dr Liffland and staff are the best. You’re greeted with smiles and warm welcomes. They are very knowledgeable. They are very willing to answer any questions you have. They don’t rush in and rush out. I look forward to my visits.

  9. Recently went thru a procedure for my dry eyes at Gulfcoast Eye Care in St. Petersburg. Dr. Nguyen suggested this procedure, which is like a mini ultrasound on your eyelids. My eyes have felt so much better after just three sessions. Really helped my dry eye situation. Was worth the time spent to get it done. Thanks Dr. Thanh Nguyen!

  11. horrible, unprofessional, and unreliable. I took a pair of frames in for lenses to get put in 1 month ago….I have received no phone calls or any updates on my glasses. When I call, they hang up on me. They told me it should take 10 days and it has been a month now. Save your time and money…go somewhere else!!

  12. We were visiting Florida when my husband came down with a bad eye infection that needed immediate attention. They made room in their busy schedule for us and Dr. Liffland was awesome. I highly recommend Gulfcoast Eye Care!
