Newsom Eye Reviews ( 180 )

  1. (Translated by Google) I have an eye operation this Wednesday and the other on the 24th. They are lovely people. The doctor who is going to operate on me looks very self-confident. I really went looking for glasses and it will come out with …

  2. I went in for measuring/pre-op for cataract surgery. They did some of the measurements but told me I had to come back to finish the measurements because they didn’t have time then to finish the measurements. So now I have to take another …

  3. AMAZING staff! Always smiling and making me feel comfortable! Wouldn’t go anywhere else! So grateful to have such a talented ophthalmic staff! 🙂

  4. After entering and being asked a series of Covid-19 questions and temperature taken as with all other places, I am waiting so far, 30 minutes after my appointment time to pick up. I am waiting in a crowded lobby because the office is filled. So is the waiting area.

  5. Very pleased with this facility and the staff. Have had a few eye surgeries with great outcomes and the staff is very friendly. Had a blood draw by Amy that was so painless… very good experience

  6. Worst check out ever!! Make sure when you call they accept your insurance and that they dont send your information to the wrong Location. Even that you are calling to the location that you want to go lol what a mess. The only good thing was the Doctor and her assistant!!

  7. Before going to any Doctor I always do my research and I have to say this time it panned out. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. I had some concerns as anyone would but they explained everything in much detail that all my concerns went away. I would definitely recommend this Office!!

  8. Very grateful to have my eyesight back as I had to deal with an eye infection. Staff was very courteous and they treated me well. The actual facility is very clean and new looking. Highly recommended.

  9. I couldn’t be more pleased with Newsom Eye!! I have been battling dry eyes for as long as I remember, until I visited Dr. Fazio. He really helped me understand my dry eyes and how to prevent them. I recommend to everyone!! Thank you NELC staff!!

  10. We are totally pleased with the staff at Newsome Eye the front desk April to Dori Jenkins which treats her patients like her own kids very caring and professionally ,They have been our eye doctors since we moved to Tampa and will continue …

  11. I owe my visual acuity and health to Dr.Newsom and Dr. Fazio, what a team. Never was I in any doubt of the outcome because aside of the standard risk verbiage that the doctor must tell you, Dr. Newsom and Dr. Fazio never gave me a reason …

  12. I just had my cataracts removed by Hunter Newsome. He did an Amazing job. I thank his staff, they are AWESOME! I see the world in a whole new way. Everything is so clear! Greatful to be a patient. I will never trust anyone else with my eyes.

  13. clerical staff are very friendly. But doctors need to communicate better with patients and be more careful and serious on performing procedures. Doctors have to be more sympathetic with patients, specially with the older.

  14. Seemed like a fair company as I was interviewing. They are a little disorganized and employees are afraid to talk of the business. I was told that they would reimburse me for a plane ticket to come down and interview for a management …

  15. I had Lasik done and also was getting treatment for my dry eye syndrome.
    I never knew that I had it until I got there. My dry eyes got better before lasik and after lasik I’m even way better. I’m thankful for Dr. Newsome and staff …

  16. Had Torque linses placed after cataract sugery. It’s been 3 years and many specialists later and my vision is still worse than before the surgery. Have had 2 sets of glasses with different prescriptions and still have bad vision. What I …

  17. I came to see Dr Fazio because he specializes in Dry Eye Treatment and I had the most thorough eye examination I’ve ever seen. They performed 5 or 6 different tests to determine the health of my eyes. If you suffer from Dry Eye Syndrome …

  18. Too many interns and not enough people at this clinic that know what they are doing. Long wait time And it took a total of two hours between way and exam time. Dr. was not the greatest and not professional. I just felt like a guinea pig …

  19. Professional, kind and caring group. Dr. Levando was very informative and took her time with me answering all questions in detail. Very respectful. Would recommend Newsom Eye 100%.

  20. I am actually an employee at Newsom Eye in Tampa. I’ve worn glasses and contacts for many years, probably since 5th grade. Couldn’t see anything without them and also had quite a bit of astigmatism. I had to wear toric contacts because of …

  21. The entire staff was very accommodating and professional. Dr. DeAngelis was very thorough. Her professionalism and efficiency got me taken care of. Her nurses, Jennifer and Rachel were very helpful in getting me prepped. Thank you!

  22. Great experience. This was the second eye that needed cataract surgery and for the first eye I went to a different doctor. I am so much happier with Newsome. Everyone is so very helpful and kind.

  23. $340 for an eye exam… just to get my prescription for contacts renewed? lol. also loved chatting with the woman on the phone who told me that they were unable to give me any contacts (like even one more pair) even though i’m completely out. this place is a rip-off.

  24. Am so so so pleased with NewsomEye. The customer service, professionalism, quick/painless surgery, it was a great experience and I only wish I got Lasik with them sooner 🙌 …

  25. Newsome Eye is amazing! Everybody is so friendly and really has your best interest at heart. I have had nothing but amazing experiences here and couldn’t recommend it more! 🙂

  29. My husband is a welder and unfortunately in that line of business you can get metal in the eye even while wearing protective eyewear. He saw the weekend Dr. Chelsey Shepos on a Sunday at the Dale Mabry Lens crafters to have the metal …

  30. Dr. Fazio is a great optometrist! He is very thorough with his examination and I always feel that I am getting truly personalized care when I go there. All of the staff are so nice and make me feel welcomed every time I go. …

  31. I went in for cataract surgery with some trepidation because my insurance company did not let me go to my regular eye doctor. What I thought was a problem turned out to be fortuitous. After one eye was done and corrected to 20/15, Dr Fazio …

  32. There are so many options for having your vision corrected. I was in need of LASIK. After much research, I decided to visit NEWSOM EYE. I have to admit that I was apprehensive about the procedure. As soon as I walked in their office & was …

  40. Dr. Garruto and his medical assistants were fantastic, however the young lady at the front desk of the Carrollwood office came off very unprofessional discussing detailed billing concerns in front of everyone (which she had completely …

  41. Outstanding! The wait was a bit much but once I saw Devon & Dr. Bovee, I was satisfied and convinced that this is where I will be going for my eye care!! Dr. Bovee talked to me about my eyes and was concerned.about me as a patient and not a number. I’d recommend her to anyone!! Thank you!!

  42. I had a great experience today having LASIK with Dr Newsom. Great staff, very caring and easy process! The surgical team was amazing, and I appreciated how much they communicated with me and each other. If I knew it would be so easy, I would have done this 10 years ago! Thank you!

  43. It was horrible. My appointment was at 2pm and I was not seen until 3pm. Then the power went out as soon as I was seated. If I had been seen at my appointment time then I couldve been seen. I will not be rescheduling and will be going …

  44. I had a FANTASTIC experience here! I loved Dr. Newsom and Devon and Dr. Hair and all the nursing staff. They were patient and answered my questions. The process was shockingly fast and recovery went great! They set me up for success and I wish I had done this earlier!

  45. We had an awful experience with this place. First time going here and will be the last. I wouldn’t recommend you take your children here. Also the miscommunication was crazy the back didn’t know what the front was doing. Some said I was …

  46. I had cataract surgery with Dr. Newman. The entire experience was fabulous. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and doctors. All appointments were timely and one time I was there early and was seen by the doctor prior to my appointment. I have already recommended Dr. Newman and his staff to several people.

  47. Dr. Newsom is a very talented eye surgeon. My husband, who is elderly and has multiple health issues, recently had cataracts removed from both eyes. I can’t tell you how delighted he is to be able to see bright colors again and he can even read fine print without glasses. It’s amazing! The entire experience was a pleasure.

  48. Waiting time through my hubbys cataract surgery, all together was over 4 hours! Each place we were taken was waiting. I think some of the wait time is too much!

  51. If I could give them 10 stars I would! I had LASIK done there recently, and I have to say, this was one of the BEST decisions I have ever made! I have been wearing glasses since I was 7, and contacts since I was 13, (I’m going on 30, just …

  55. Dr. Fazio is awesome! I started seeing him several years ago and am always impressed that he takes the time to explain any issues or procedures in easy to understand terms. Was instrumental in clearing up a chronic eye condition I had for years prior to seeing him for the first time.

  62. The staff was very courteous, friendly and professional. I have a new doctor maybe that’s the reason for the long wait time. After the tech finished my exam and dilating my eyes, I waited for the doctor 45 minutes to an hour to be seen. I have never waited that long, he was friendly and professional.

  63. My most recent appointment was on time and, as always, I was checked in easily. After being taken back to prep to see doc, that was handled well and Dr. Fasio then came in and assured me all looked good. Staff are always helpful and accommodating.
