On Tuesday, March 31, 2015 I was interrupted by staff telling me I could not finish visit because of policy change in insurance. They actually stopped the appointment and ushered me out the door & I felt like a criminal and was very upset. …
Everyone was really great and Dr. Weinstock is awesome! I’m seeing 20/20 for the first since I can remember. Thank you to the amazing Dr. Steve Weinstock and the staff and nurses!
I saw Dr Mohadjer several times about a concern with a freckle in my eye lid. It caused me severe pain and expressed my concern for having it biopsied. I had cancer once in the same area and so naturally I thought her suggestion to just …
I was impressed with the entire staff and how patient the doctor was. She took the time to listen to everything I had to say and explained how we came about my new script.
I already submitted a review a few days ago …. I was impressed with doctor and am looking forward to working with him in the future. I feel that my eyes are in good hands.
Everyone was pleasant, courteous, kind and bent over backwards to make the entire experience as easy as I could ever ask for. At no place in the process did I feel left wanting for answers, and everyone I dealt with seemed to be knowledgeable and professional. For what its worth, I heartily give my recommendation.
Dr mohadjer rocks! Ive seen her for many many years now. I figured if I’m going to get a needle with Botox in between my eyes Id only trust and want the best of the best to do that and she’s fit the bill! I’ve also seen for myself a couple …
This place is very nice especially the staff! Always smiling! The hospitality is also very nice! The red coats serve coffee and cookies. This place is well organized and Dr. Kirsch is very professional and skillfull
Every thing worked with precision, from pre op to post op to first post op visit. The staff is wonderful explaining everything as you proceed.
Result a are already awesome. Looking forward to the second eye next week!
I have been a patient of Dr. Mohadjer’s since approximately 2009. I liked her from the first day I met her and at each appointment she has treated me like I was her most important patient, listening to my questions and my concerns. She has …
Don’t get started with this place. They pass you around among their doctors so that everyone makes their nut. They bill you and don’t tell you what services they’re billing you for. You wait 2 hours for an appointment where the doctor is in and out in 2 minutes. They suggest surgery you don’t need.
STAY AWAY!
I have been, in my 78 years, to many different medical facilities but never have I been so impressed by all of the staff from. Dr Stephen Weinstock to the lady who greets at the front door as well as to holding it open. A true 10+. Thank you, Frank Jegen
My 2nd visit .Just as professional as the 1st.Geeat caring staff.Dr.Wienstock the younger.Awesome.😎🌞I just wanted to mention how impressed I was with the care taken to wipe and clean everything I would come in contact with.Wonderful people.😁 …
The process you use for acknowledging your patients by way of cell phone is a real benefit.
I was on a job site and remebered to look at my phone and your notification came up telling me about my appointment at Eye Institute of West Florida..
Iam very satisfied with the service offered including the dedication, kindness and professional care of Dr. Steven E. Kane.. The cataracts surgery of my two eyes was a 100 % successful and I feel grateful with all the team that took care of …
So disorganized. Lack of communication about surgery date and dealing with primary care doctor. Makes you feel like cows being herded in and out. Long wait times.
Everyone is so professional, yet not afraid of my unfiltered humor. . After two surgeries and having my vision saved, I missed going there. Everyone I came in contact with was amazing!
Vision was 20/400. 20/500 out of right/left eye. I’ve wore glasses since I was 6:7 years old (60+years). No glasses now. Vision 20/25-20/25. No words can express my new vision/life. Thank you Dr(s) Weinstock and Eye Institute.
Great experience, Dr Gruzska and her staff treated me with prompt professional service. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Makes going to the Dr enjoyable.
They tell you the truth of what is going on with your eyes. They explain everything to you. I see the Cornea specialist and he keeps a close eye on what is going on with my eyes, also told me that eventually I will need surgery. They don’t tell you to learn to Live with the problem.
I had a very pleasant experience at the Eye Institute of West Florida.
The folks there were friendly, the doctor experienced and informative.
I felt like a VIP while I was there. Thanks,
I love Eye Institute of West Fla. Great qualified doctors, office is friendly, on target, efficient and pleasant. Glad I found them due to way back when appointments with Dr. Winston Cope!
Always amazed at the friendly, professional and efficient staff at The Eye Institute. The office is always very busy but you are seen on time. Could not ask for a better eye specialists.
I have been working with Dr. Steven Kane for about three months. I’ve had eye problems practically my whole life. My eyesight as a child was poor and got progressively worse as I aged. In the mid-1980’s I decided to have Radial …
Dr. Mohadjer is kind, patient and professional. She takes the time necessary to explain exactly what she recommends and ensures your questions are addressed and answered before you leave. Her staff is capable and helpful in giving …
Dr. Mohadjer is kind, talented and compassionate! Her skills are beyond any I have ever experienced. She has an artistic eye, aims to please and never over-does. She would rather have you return to continue than deliver a look that is displeasing. I trust her judgement and ask her opinion for all my facial concerns.
My experience with Dr. Mohadjer was excellent! The staff at the Largo office were very accommodating and professional. I took advantage of their shuttle service which was helpful. I would recommend Dr Mohadjer to anyone that is considering eyelid surgery to help with their vision.
Dr Stephen Weinstock. Is my hero and the BEST eye Surgeon in the Tampa bay area. He restored my eyesight after some thugs almost destroyed it. Dr Stephen Weinstock. Rocks!
This place is just a cash cow. They will make you wait an excessive amount of time and all they are concerned about is expediting office visits. I was told incorrect information on the phone, completely overcharged and given unnecessary …
Very professional, very good service and care. However, do NOT give them your phone number! They keep texting me for feedback after I have provided it, after I have opted out and even after I spoke to them face to face. Next thing I know they’ll be coming to the door taking an opinion poll.
I am a caregiver of an elderly patient at the Eye Institute. She was seen by Dr. Kirsch and I am extremely pleased of the attention provided by the Dr. and his caring staff. I highly recommend the eye institute to anyone that is in need of a specialist in ophthalmology.
Dr. Mohadjer is the best at what she does, cosmetically and medically. She truly takes time to understand your individual goals and desires. I have never felt rushed by her and know that she listens to my requests to ensure the best possible outcome. I always highly recommend her to all of my friends and family!
Worst eye exam I’ve ever had. My specific issue was not addressed and dismissed, even after I explained it several times to Dr. LaPlume. Total waste of time and money.
The most important thing in my book is respecting my time!! I was in and out in no time!! Been a patient here since around 2000-2001 and have never had a bad experience. Staff is always AWESOME!!! Thank you
Dr. Mohadjer has always been patient and informative when I meet with her. I have seen her multiple times over the past two years and tell everyone about her! What I appreciate most about her is that she is always conservative with her …
Efficient and answered all my questions and got me in at my scheduled time which is great. Dr. Melinda L. Gruszka, OD is highly recommended by me and thanks for a great office visit and eye exam!
Dr. Robert Weinstock did a fantastic job with my cataract surgery. Every day I marvel at how well I see. It is like the clarity went from from watching a VHS tape to a Blu-ray HD. After all my life having fairly poor eyesight with a very …
My last appointment was screwed up from the start, my fault. The staff was personable, understanding and acted like I had not messed at all. You could not ask for any more from everyone at the Institute. Thank you.
Dr.Cothran is AWESOME,so glad to have found her again. I hope I never have to change again, as I trust her 100% with my eye care. Staff at this practice so nice compared to Gulfcoast.
The staff is amazing. In particular I would like to thank RN April. America needs more nurses like her. They really care about their patients. Good job
Dr. Mohadjer was recommended to me by another eye doctor. She was very knowledgeable and kind in telling me about the cause of my eyes tearing. I will definitely have her do the procedure. Thanks
Dr. Desai and the staff at the Eye Institute of West Florida were fantastic in their professionalism and enthusiasm in my LASIK procedure. I felt confidant and comfortable from consultation through Post-op with awesome results. Definitely recommended for anyone considering LASIK!
Dr. Mohadjer is wonderful, smart, and very caring. She is so talented and gifted. My experience with my surgery was amazing and smooth. Minimal bruising, mild swelling and went back to work after 3 days. Results in one word PERFECTION. I …
Dr. Mohadjer is the best. My eye surgery went well and I’m very impressed with the results of my surgery and the excellent care I was given before, during and after my surgery! I would highly recommend Dr. Mohadjer to anyone needing a great …
I have never had such unprofessional service in my life. Reading glasses were NEVER tested and when they came back they were unusable. I have been waiting for my distance glasses for three weeks only to be told each time I call we should get them soon. What a joke. Meanwhile I am unable to drive as they took my old lenses.
They do things you don’t need them to be done so they can charge more. It happened with me changing the referral request so they charge the patient more. I had to struggle for 6 months till they cancelled the the bill and changed it with my …
Dr. Mohadjer is highly qualified, very professional, and is direct about whatever issue is presented. Her assistants are of the same high caliber. I have an ocular prosthetic and finding a physician who can deal with that (& me) is rare so I am extremely satisfied with the care that I have received.
I would consider dr. Mohajer to be the best in her field. Her mannerism and her professionalism are both far beyond the norm. As a patient of dr. Mohajer all of my procedures have turned out to be phenomenal. I would highly recommend dr. Mohajer and her staff to anyone who should seek her services.
Dr. Smith & tech (Genevieve) were very efficient, caring & personsable. As always, a pleasant experience. The entire staff, from checkin to checkout was superb. Thank you for the great visit. …
In and out several times with a minimum of clutter and confusion. A VERY professionally run practice. Surgery both times was a breeze with virtually NO discomfort. I come from a Medical family and have never seen anything done with such precision. VERY well managed..
I have been going to the Eye Institute in Largo for more than ten years. It is the most organized medical office i have been to. Wonderful staff, with smiles and clear directions. i highly recommend this office.
The staff at The Eye Institute Of West Florida is a wonderful group of people. From their caring personalities, one-on-one interactions to their follow-up you feel truly cared for. My fears and nervousness was addressed without ridicule or any hesitation. I thank you for all you did.
Very thorough eye exams,they checked my eyes for any type of eye problem that could exist,just about. The doctors and technicians were friendly and explained every test and answered all my questions.I would highly recommend them to anyone with eye problems or for preventive care.
After much research including surgeons and equipment for cataract surgery as well as a number of consultations with different surgeons, I concluded that Dr. Robert Weinstock, the Eye Institute’s equipment and staff were the best in the …

Dr Mohadjer identified and removed a growth on my eyelid that was hindering my vision. She was very professional in her procedure and I did not at any time feel one bit of discomfort. Her friendly personality made the experience even more …
The staff here is very pleasant, but the wait times are usually lengthy. I had cataract surgery in both eyes with Dr. Robert Weinstock (the younger). My eyes were also lasered to rid them of the clouding that occurs following cataract …
Worst experience of my life!! No one explained side effects, etc. pre op. Never received any written info on side effects pre op. Ended up with continuous watery eyes, itchy eyes, and drooping eye lids. I was told quite curtly by a male …
I am so pleased with my LASIK eye surgery results. This surgery is life changing as I have been wearing glasses and contacts since age 12. I am amazed how I went from very poor vision to 20/20. The procedure is painless and quick. Dr. Desai …
Dr.Desai and his team are the Best of the Best ! I had PRK Laser Surgery 3 weeks ago and I’m already seeing much better than before. I can’t say enough kind things about Dr.Desai ! He truly made me feel like family… Thank-You So much !
This is a great place to go for eye care. I’m fairly new there but this is very comparable to a place I went to in Virginia. All the staff is wonderful and caring. I have glaucoma and I’m very comfortable going there and feel I’m in good hands.
very disappointed. Waited more than a month for this appointment, and then waited 40 minutes in the waiting room. finally asked one of the staff how much longer it would be, and all she had to say unapologetically was “there are many patients in front of you.” why is a doctor’s time more valuable than mine?
The precautions for COVID-19 were impressive. The staff were helpful and professional during the examination. I would highly recommend The Eye Institute of West Florida for high quality eye care.
This was my first visit and I was very pleased with the up front staff’s friendliness and helpfulness. They were right on time bringing me in to the exam room for my appointment and the Tech was very knowledgeable and helpful, along with …
Friendly, professional helpful staff. Outstanding service; efficient, timely, and considerate. I trust them with my eyesight completely! Doesn’t get any better than the superb professionals at the Eye Institute.
Dr. Kane performed a corneal transplant on my husband. The procedure was difficult and Dr. Kane performed brilliantly. His expertise in this procedure left no doubt that he is an excellent and caring physician. During recovery Dr. Kane …
When I decided to have cataract surgery , I was unaware of all of my options . I credit Dr. Steven Kane with giving me the information about the condition of my eyes and for his recommendation for treatment. …
I wish I could give them no stars. Dr. Grenridge and his staff at the Largo office is very unprofessional. They will talk down to you and not to you. The wait time is about 2 hours. If you complain they get very nasty. They do not inform …
Dr Nora Cothran is such an incredible Physian. Great chair side, manner.
Caring, about you, as an individual. I’ve seen many eye specialist over the last ten years. All of them, in this group have saved my vision. Dr. Cothran is my favorite so far. I am grateful for her. Thank you, for caring about my eyes.♥️👁️👓😍 …
Worst place to take care of your eyes. They over charged you for everything. I’m a keratoconus patient. I use a hybrid contact lens and the regular cost of the lenses are around $500 a pair for each eye. I went to them under an emergency …

My husband suffers from Keratoconus which is a progressive eye disorder. We were seeking help at Eye Florida in Central Florida and it was no help. They couldn’t even diagnose my husband’s eye disorder. We did lot of research and finally …
My wife’s experience with the Eye Institute of West Florida was mixed. We were completely satisfied with the medical care and its outcomes. We were completely dissatisfied with their business practices. Understandably surgery and insurance …
All staff are very friendly and helpful. Someone holds the door open for you coming and going; someone offers you cookies and coffee or water. The nurses and doctors are friendly and efficient and take time to chat with you and answer your questions.
My late aunt (age 70s) was treated by various EIWF doctors over the last 20 years at the Largo location. I’m treated now in St. Pete. Everyone who works there is amazing! Kind, patient, careful, and most importantly to me as a fat diabetic, non-judgmental!! All they want to do is help. Also, free coffee, water, and cookies <3
You are just a number here . I have discovered that no matter who I talk to in this office no one there knows what is going on with my mother-in-laws cataract surgery. It is very frustrating and disappointing. I have spoken to several …

I originally made my initial appointment in the St Petersburg office with Dr. Sacksteder for Monday 4/17/2017. Went to the St Pete office and was told by him he couldn’t help because I had Keratocunus. I advised him I told them when I made …

I had ptosis surgery done by Dr. Mohadjer 2 weeks ago and I am so happy with the results! I put this surgery off for 2 years while researching 3 other doctors and none of them impressed me. Therefore, I can honestly say I made the right …
From the front desk to the PA’s to all the doctors at this facility you will not go wrong if you choose the Eye Institute of West Florida.
Recently I saw Dr. Kane for dry eye syndrome. He is most professional, answers all questions, and takes his time diagnosing your problem.
I recently got a metal shaving in my cornea. Once removed at the emergency room, it had left a little ring of rust on the cornea, obviously as a memento for the short time we spent together. I, being not nearly as thrilled about my time …
I am in the middle of being fitted with Scleral contacts. Although still too early to tell, Dr. Grutszka has made the process less stressful. This is the first time with these new lens and it it more complicated to the previous rigid …
Dr Jeffrey Schwartz has NO bed side manners. He is rude and does not listen to his patients. You are hurdled in like sheep. No questions allowed. AVOID this place at all costs!

Great doctors and staff. I only have praise for the West FL Eye Institute.
I found the entire staff of the Eye Institute of West Florida to be very professional and well trained. From my first appointment to surgery follow-up visits all aspects of cataract surgery were fully explained, all questions were answered …
I have been coming here since before I can remember so maybe I am slightly biased but I can honestly say that I have never felt more welcomed in a medical practice than I do here. I felt very welcomed by the red coats who offered …
The surgery went well and quickly. The team made me feel so comfortable. I am seeing a lot better. Things look so bright and pretty. I would recommend The eye Institute of West Florida for all your eye problems.
I love this place!!! Wonderful staff. Dr Hirsch is the best!! Always very comfortable with him. He’s funny as well. Laughing is good!! Great personality!! The same for the rest of the staff. Thank you again guys! See you next year, as usual.

Had to wait two hours past appt time to be taken in to preop. Nurse had to try three times for the IV insertion and my hand remains painful and bruised. Eye procedure was painless and vision is improved. Post op chart for drops was not given. Good surgeon, poor management.
Totally destroyed my right eye from a botched cataract surgery. Two surgeries starting with Robert Weinstock, followed up by Richard Hariston. Nearly 6 months later can not see from my right eye. Dr Hariston discharged me saying what he …

I read the reviews; I did my homework on Dr. Mohadjer ~ she is exceptional beyond anything I read. I applaud her expertise and bedside manners; she explained the entire process and thus far it is everything I expected and more. I have not …
While I am extremely happy with the care I received from Dr. Diakonis, this office is very big and there’s a lot going on. The front staff isn’t as attentive or friendly as the new Clearwater office. I honestly think it’s because it is so …
I have seen Doctors for cataract surgery, glaucoma and Macular hole surgery as well as vision exams. All are excellent. Eye Institute of West Florida is excellent in all aspects of Eye care. The Coved management is perfect. I feel very safe under their care! Thank you Dr Johnson, Dr Schwartz, Dr Hairston and Dr Weinstock!

It has been two months since I received the gift of sight from a generous organ donor. Every moment I am filled with gratitude for this miracle. I did not lose my eyesight due to any physical process or defect, I lost it when a spider bit …
The front desk staff are the most unprofessional people I’ve ever met in a medical office. I was literally laughed at on the phone when I called to tell the staff that my eyes are burning and constantly noticeably red since starting new …
I had my cataracts removed 2 years ago and now have spots and blurs and I made an appointment to go back to see what`s wrong and the day before my appointment they called and told me they don`t take Humana insurance so now what am I suppose to do go to someone that didn`t do my surgery, I am very disappointed in them.
I am so impressed with the quality of service I receive from everyone at both Eye Institute of West Florida. Many physicians fail to recognize that patients are really “customers” and should be treated as such. Although health insurance …
The friendly, knowledgeable staff is amazing. The hospitality and flow of the waiting rooms along with great cookies and coffee make each visit fun. Not to mention I love HGTV to watch!!! I’ve had two separate surgeries with two different …

He is a wonderful, caring person, very confident and really put me at ease. I had to wait for a while to be seen, but in my opinion, it was worth the wait.
I had a terrible experience. First off the paperwork is all done electronically so you have no visual of what you are actually signing and they don’t provide you with a paper copy. The explanations are rushed through and when you ask for …
I had cataract surgery 8 years ago and my vision is still as good as it was right after the surgery. My experiences at the Largo location and at the Palm Harbor office have always been good. I go in for yearly checkups. The doctors, …

Good until they can no longer help, or solve your problem. So, you look for treatment elsewhere where you are offered alternative solutions, and if the Eye Institute finds out, they literally send you a letter telling you to stay away, and …
On Friday, November 1, 2019 I had the most amazing eyelid surgery. The entire staff at The Eye Institute Of West Florida and Dr. Jasmine Mohadjer provided me with a surgery experience that was both professional and comforting. From the …

I would rate 0 if I can. Don’t even come to this place for treatment because you’re better off with better doctors. I had the worst experience at this clinic! I had an eye abrasion that needed medicine and since my eye specialist was closed …
Dr. Sims, Dr. Jacob and the staff there are great! My husband and I were new patients today and we loved the friendly and helpful staff, how fast we were in and out and Dr. Sims was great! She took time to listen to me and explained things very clearly. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Woke up terrified of a detached retina. They had me in the office within the hour. Dr Kirsh was amazing. Professional, thorough and fantastic “bedside manner”. The whole staff is great, even though they are very busy. I give them 5 stars and a GIANT THANK YOU.
Nothing but top class care. I had shingles in right eye. Thought I was going to lose all of my vision. Did a completely 180 in my sight. So thankful for Dr. Sacksteder. Great Doctor with a very great attitude. Instead of the usual Dr that …
Tina, the PA was very professional & had amazing patient care. The 2 ladies at the check in counter were extremely rude. On my first visit, the check in receptionist to the right was very rude when I told her I checked in online. She very …
Had an appointment last week, they could not find me in their database by my insurance, although when they scheduled me I was told they had located my information and set the appointment. I drove from Tampa, had to take off work, get there …

Just had cataract surgery with Dr. Desai and he’s amazing! Day one post-op and I’m seeing much better than I ever did with contacts. His team is amazing. …
Considerate and knowledgeable staff. Punctuality and timeliness of service isn’t exceptional, but few medical institutes are. Testing is extensive and thorough although billing is equally exhaustive.
Thank you so much Cori, Amanda, and Christina for helping me get through Pre-Op. it was a pleasure and fun! Sorry my right eye didn’t want to cooperate! 😂
Thank you Heather in financing. I love your large office! Pleasure meeting you! …

The Institute has top technology, things have changed in the last 5 years and …

Excellent compassionate care! Thanks Daniella you made Eric feel so comfortable with the eye drops! This helped get a great exam and we appreciate your warmth and level of professionalism. Our Dr. is also so caring and knowledgeable. We are looking forward to his surgery.
My wife made an appointment in their Largo office to see if she needed cataract surgery. She did not know she would have to sign a “Doctor Patient Arbitration Agreement” on a pad at the welcome desk In order to see a doctor. She was not …
Last year I went for my annual eye exam. Before I could enter, I had to wait in an intake line (with other patients around me) wherein I was asked whether I had received the Covid « vaccine « . I responded that it was my personal health …
Wonderful experience! My 6 year old needed an exam because I had some (relatively unfounded lol) concerns. The person who answered the phone was lovely and helpful. Dr. Johnson was sweet, patient and playful with my son, and reassuring to …
Had an annual exam here, and my insurance could not have sent me to a better place. I was treated with kindness and respect, and I always felt relaxed and comfortable. Excellent doctor and wonderful, caring staff!
The Largo office staff is so welcoming; from the moment they open their door until they say good bye. I never waited more than 2 minutes and I was seen by 3 different members of their friendly team. Traveling the 35 minutes was worth the …
Everyone there works with love and dedication. Excellent!
On Tuesday, March 31, 2015 I was interrupted by staff telling me I could not finish visit because of policy change in insurance. They actually stopped the appointment and ushered me out the door & I felt like a criminal and was very upset. …
Dr. Mohadjer is absolutely a wonderful Physician, who truly cares about her patients.
Everyone was really great and Dr. Weinstock is awesome! I’m seeing 20/20 for the first since I can remember. Thank you to the amazing Dr. Steve Weinstock and the staff and nurses!
I saw Dr Mohadjer several times about a concern with a freckle in my eye lid. It caused me severe pain and expressed my concern for having it biopsied. I had cancer once in the same area and so naturally I thought her suggestion to just …
I was impressed with the entire staff and how patient the doctor was. She took the time to listen to everything I had to say and explained how we came about my new script.
I already submitted a review a few days ago …. I was impressed with doctor and am looking forward to working with him in the future. I feel that my eyes are in good hands.
Everyone was pleasant, courteous, kind and bent over backwards to make the entire experience as easy as I could ever ask for. At no place in the process did I feel left wanting for answers, and everyone I dealt with seemed to be knowledgeable and professional. For what its worth, I heartily give my recommendation.
Dr mohadjer rocks! Ive seen her for many many years now. I figured if I’m going to get a needle with Botox in between my eyes Id only trust and want the best of the best to do that and she’s fit the bill! I’ve also seen for myself a couple …
This place is very nice especially the staff! Always smiling! The hospitality is also very nice! The red coats serve coffee and cookies. This place is well organized and Dr. Kirsch is very professional and skillfull
The Institute worked diligently to stand behind the procedure they performed during and after the fact.
Commendable, ethical care. …
Jill & Dr Schwartz are outstanding. I’ve recommended them to numerous friends and will continue doing that. Professional, efficient and very kind!
Every thing worked with precision, from pre op to post op to first post op visit. The staff is wonderful explaining everything as you proceed.
Result a are already awesome. Looking forward to the second eye next week!
All great except post op nurse who told me to just pop out lens of my glasses when I asked her what to do since I had lens placed in one of my eyes.
Everyone was pleasant and helpful. I was seen for my annual eye exam at the appointed time and the exam was done quickly and efficiently.
I have been a patient of Dr. Mohadjer’s since approximately 2009. I liked her from the first day I met her and at each appointment she has treated me like I was her most important patient, listening to my questions and my concerns. She has …
Don’t get started with this place. They pass you around among their doctors so that everyone makes their nut. They bill you and don’t tell you what services they’re billing you for. You wait 2 hours for an appointment where the doctor is in and out in 2 minutes. They suggest surgery you don’t need.
STAY AWAY!
I have been, in my 78 years, to many different medical facilities but never have I been so impressed by all of the staff from. Dr Stephen Weinstock to the lady who greets at the front door as well as to holding it open. A true 10+. Thank you, Frank Jegen
My 2nd visit .Just as professional as the 1st.Geeat caring staff.Dr.Wienstock the younger.Awesome.😎🌞I just wanted to mention how impressed I was with the care taken to wipe and clean everything I would come in contact with.Wonderful people.😁 …
The process you use for acknowledging your patients by way of cell phone is a real benefit.
I was on a job site and remebered to look at my phone and your notification came up telling me about my appointment at Eye Institute of West Florida..
Iam very satisfied with the service offered including the dedication, kindness and professional care of Dr. Steven E. Kane.. The cataracts surgery of my two eyes was a 100 % successful and I feel grateful with all the team that took care of …
So disorganized. Lack of communication about surgery date and dealing with primary care doctor. Makes you feel like cows being herded in and out. Long wait times.
Everyone is so professional, yet not afraid of my unfiltered humor. . After two surgeries and having my vision saved, I missed going there. Everyone I came in contact with was amazing!
Vision was 20/400. 20/500 out of right/left eye. I’ve wore glasses since I was 6:7 years old (60+years). No glasses now. Vision 20/25-20/25. No words can express my new vision/life. Thank you Dr(s) Weinstock and Eye Institute.
The skills of these doctors and nurses and support staff are outstanding. Especially Dr’s Kirsch, Desai and Schwartz. …
Great experience, Dr Gruzska and her staff treated me with prompt professional service. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Makes going to the Dr enjoyable.
They tell you the truth of what is going on with your eyes. They explain everything to you. I see the Cornea specialist and he keeps a close eye on what is going on with my eyes, also told me that eventually I will need surgery. They don’t tell you to learn to Live with the problem.
I had a very pleasant experience at the Eye Institute of West Florida.
The folks there were friendly, the doctor experienced and informative.
I felt like a VIP while I was there. Thanks,
I love Eye Institute of West Fla. Great qualified doctors, office is friendly, on target, efficient and pleasant. Glad I found them due to way back when appointments with Dr. Winston Cope!
Always amazed at the friendly, professional and efficient staff at The Eye Institute. The office is always very busy but you are seen on time. Could not ask for a better eye specialists.

Dr. Mohadjer is kind, patient and professional. She takes the time necessary to explain exactly what she recommends and ensures your questions are addressed and answered before you leave. Her staff is capable and helpful in giving …
Dr. Mohadjer is kind, talented and compassionate! Her skills are beyond any I have ever experienced. She has an artistic eye, aims to please and never over-does. She would rather have you return to continue than deliver a look that is displeasing. I trust her judgement and ask her opinion for all my facial concerns.
Wonderful staff. Marian and Terrell prepared me for Dr Weinstock to do my lasar surgery. Very attentive and reassuring.
My experience with Dr. Mohadjer was excellent! The staff at the Largo office were very accommodating and professional. I took advantage of their shuttle service which was helpful. I would recommend Dr Mohadjer to anyone that is considering eyelid surgery to help with their vision.
Dr Stephen Weinstock. Is my hero and the BEST eye Surgeon in the Tampa bay area. He restored my eyesight after some thugs almost destroyed it. Dr Stephen Weinstock. Rocks!
I have been goung to Dr. Mohadjer fpr quite some time. She and her staff are all so kind and compassionate. I would not go anywhere else!!-
This place is just a cash cow. They will make you wait an excessive amount of time and all they are concerned about is expediting office visits. I was told incorrect information on the phone, completely overcharged and given unnecessary …
Very professional, very good service and care. However, do NOT give them your phone number! They keep texting me for feedback after I have provided it, after I have opted out and even after I spoke to them face to face. Next thing I know they’ll be coming to the door taking an opinion poll.
I am a caregiver of an elderly patient at the Eye Institute. She was seen by Dr. Kirsch and I am extremely pleased of the attention provided by the Dr. and his caring staff. I highly recommend the eye institute to anyone that is in need of a specialist in ophthalmology.
Dr. Cope gave me the most thorough and comprehensive eye exam that I have ever had in my 76 years. I would highly recommend he and his staff .
Dr. Mohadjer is the best at what she does, cosmetically and medically. She truly takes time to understand your individual goals and desires. I have never felt rushed by her and know that she listens to my requests to ensure the best possible outcome. I always highly recommend her to all of my friends and family!
Worst eye exam I’ve ever had. My specific issue was not addressed and dismissed, even after I explained it several times to Dr. LaPlume. Total waste of time and money.
The most important thing in my book is respecting my time!! I was in and out in no time!! Been a patient here since around 2000-2001 and have never had a bad experience. Staff is always AWESOME!!! Thank you
Dr. Mohadjer has always been patient and informative when I meet with her. I have seen her multiple times over the past two years and tell everyone about her! What I appreciate most about her is that she is always conservative with her …
Efficient and answered all my questions and got me in at my scheduled time which is great. Dr. Melinda L. Gruszka, OD is highly recommended by me and thanks for a great office visit and eye exam!
Dr. Robert Weinstock did a fantastic job with my cataract surgery. Every day I marvel at how well I see. It is like the clarity went from from watching a VHS tape to a Blu-ray HD. After all my life having fairly poor eyesight with a very …
My last appointment was screwed up from the start, my fault. The staff was personable, understanding and acted like I had not messed at all. You could not ask for any more from everyone at the Institute. Thank you.
Dr.Cothran is AWESOME,so glad to have found her again. I hope I never have to change again, as I trust her 100% with my eye care. Staff at this practice so nice compared to Gulfcoast.
The staff is amazing. In particular I would like to thank RN April. America needs more nurses like her. They really care about their patients. Good job
Cori is very personable and make you feel comfortable
Dr. Mohadjer was recommended to me by another eye doctor. She was very knowledgeable and kind in telling me about the cause of my eyes tearing. I will definitely have her do the procedure. Thanks
Dr. Desai and the staff at the Eye Institute of West Florida were fantastic in their professionalism and enthusiasm in my LASIK procedure. I felt confidant and comfortable from consultation through Post-op with awesome results. Definitely recommended for anyone considering LASIK!

Dr. Mohadjer is the best. My eye surgery went well and I’m very impressed with the results of my surgery and the excellent care I was given before, during and after my surgery! I would highly recommend Dr. Mohadjer to anyone needing a great …
I have never had such unprofessional service in my life. Reading glasses were NEVER tested and when they came back they were unusable. I have been waiting for my distance glasses for three weeks only to be told each time I call we should get them soon. What a joke. Meanwhile I am unable to drive as they took my old lenses.
They do things you don’t need them to be done so they can charge more. It happened with me changing the referral request so they charge the patient more. I had to struggle for 6 months till they cancelled the the bill and changed it with my …
Dr. Mohadjer is highly qualified, very professional, and is direct about whatever issue is presented. Her assistants are of the same high caliber. I have an ocular prosthetic and finding a physician who can deal with that (& me) is rare so I am extremely satisfied with the care that I have received.
I would consider dr. Mohajer to be the best in her field. Her mannerism and her professionalism are both far beyond the norm. As a patient of dr. Mohajer all of my procedures have turned out to be phenomenal. I would highly recommend dr. Mohajer and her staff to anyone who should seek her services.
Dr. Kirsch and his team of miracle workers have blessed me with the gift of sight. I am forever grateful. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

In and out several times with a minimum of clutter and confusion. A VERY professionally run practice. Surgery both times was a breeze with virtually NO discomfort. I come from a Medical family and have never seen anything done with such precision. VERY well managed..
I have been going to the Eye Institute in Largo for more than ten years. It is the most organized medical office i have been to. Wonderful staff, with smiles and clear directions. i highly recommend this office.

Very thorough eye exams,they checked my eyes for any type of eye problem that could exist,just about. The doctors and technicians were friendly and explained every test and answered all my questions.I would highly recommend them to anyone with eye problems or for preventive care.
After much research including surgeons and equipment for cataract surgery as well as a number of consultations with different surgeons, I concluded that Dr. Robert Weinstock, the Eye Institute’s equipment and staff were the best in the …

No matter which location I go to it’s always 💯 the best experience… The hospitality is super wonderful I love the ladies in the red jackets. Great thanks to Dr Mohadjer, Dr Desai, Dr Cope and the entire EIWF team. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! Let me …
After wearing glasses/contacts for 25+ years I am finally free of the hassle. Dr. Robert Weinstock did the surgery and I couldn’t be happier. I am now 20/10 and see better than ever. Thank you Dr. Weinstock and to your staff…the experience was wonderful!
I was diagnosed with mild cataracts in both eyes several years ago. In July, 2015, when I began seeing multiple images, I decided to have my cataracts removed. …
Dr Mohadjer identified and removed a growth on my eyelid that was hindering my vision. She was very professional in her procedure and I did not at any time feel one bit of discomfort. Her friendly personality made the experience even more …
The staff here is very pleasant, but the wait times are usually lengthy. I had cataract surgery in both eyes with Dr. Robert Weinstock (the younger). My eyes were also lasered to rid them of the clouding that occurs following cataract …
Worst experience of my life!! No one explained side effects, etc. pre op. Never received any written info on side effects pre op. Ended up with continuous watery eyes, itchy eyes, and drooping eye lids. I was told quite curtly by a male …
I am so pleased with my LASIK eye surgery results. This surgery is life changing as I have been wearing glasses and contacts since age 12. I am amazed how I went from very poor vision to 20/20. The procedure is painless and quick. Dr. Desai …
Dr.Desai and his team are the Best of the Best ! I had PRK Laser Surgery 3 weeks ago and I’m already seeing much better than before. I can’t say enough kind things about Dr.Desai ! He truly made me feel like family… Thank-You So much !
This is a great place to go for eye care. I’m fairly new there but this is very comparable to a place I went to in Virginia. All the staff is wonderful and caring. I have glaucoma and I’m very comfortable going there and feel I’m in good hands.
very disappointed. Waited more than a month for this appointment, and then waited 40 minutes in the waiting room. finally asked one of the staff how much longer it would be, and all she had to say unapologetically was “there are many patients in front of you.” why is a doctor’s time more valuable than mine?
The precautions for COVID-19 were impressive. The staff were helpful and professional during the examination. I would highly recommend The Eye Institute of West Florida for high quality eye care.
This was my first visit and I was very pleased with the up front staff’s friendliness and helpfulness. They were right on time bringing me in to the exam room for my appointment and the Tech was very knowledgeable and helpful, along with …

My late aunt (age 70s) was treated by various EIWF doctors over the last 20 years at the Largo location. I’m treated now in St. Pete. Everyone who works there is amazing!

From the front desk to the PA’s to all the doctors at this facility you will not go wrong if you choose the Eye Institute of West Florida.
Recently I saw Dr. Kane for dry eye syndrome. He is most professional, answers all questions, and takes his time diagnosing your problem.

Dr. Nora Cothran is very professional yet personable. Though we miss Dr. …

Woke up terrified of a detached retina. They had me in the office within the hour. Dr Kirsh was amazing. Professional, thorough and fantastic “bedside manner”. The whole staff is great, even though they are very busy. I give them 5 stars and a GIANT THANK YOU.
Nothing but top class care. I had shingles in right eye. Thought I was going to lose all of my vision. Did a completely 180 in my sight. So thankful for Dr. Sacksteder. Great Doctor with a very great attitude. Instead of the usual Dr that …
Tina, the PA was very professional & had amazing patient care. The 2 ladies at the check in counter were extremely rude. On my first visit, the check in receptionist to the right was very rude when I told her I checked in online. She very …
Had an appointment last week, they could not find me in their database by my insurance, although when they scheduled me I was told they had located my information and set the appointment. I drove from Tampa, had to take off work, get there …
So far my experience at The Eye Institute of West Florida has been great. The doctors and the staff have been very informative, kind and professional.

Just had cataract surgery with Dr. Desai and he’s amazing! Day one post-op and I’m seeing much better than I ever did with contacts. His team is amazing. …
Considerate and knowledgeable staff. Punctuality and timeliness of service isn’t exceptional, but few medical institutes are. Testing is extensive and thorough although billing is equally exhaustive.
Thank you so much Cori, Amanda, and Christina for helping me get through Pre-Op. it was a pleasure and fun! Sorry my right eye didn’t want to cooperate! 😂
Thank you Heather in financing. I love your large office! Pleasure meeting you! …
I am comfortable still wearing a mask & glad they require one. There is little to no waiting time. They alert to upcoming appointments. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! They are friendly, courteous & knowledgeable
My experience was great. The staff is very acknowledge and ready to help you with your questions and concerns. Heather from the financial department help me navigate through my insurance and coordinate everything with the other departments. Love the place
Unpleasant staff. Jill , the lead tech, at the countryside office exceptionally rude. Tests are done without you being told why it is being done
I usually go see Dr Cothran twice a year, I’m impress how gentle and welcoming they are!
The Institute has top technology, things have changed in the last 5 years and …
Process is well organized, everything is explained clearly, everyone very efficient, first surgery on cataract removal went very well, anticpate the same with the upcoming experience.
Excellent compassionate care! Thanks Daniella you made Eric feel so comfortable with the eye drops! This helped get a great exam and we appreciate your warmth and level of professionalism. Our Dr. is also so caring and knowledgeable. We are looking forward to his surgery.
My wife made an appointment in their Largo office to see if she needed cataract surgery. She did not know she would have to sign a “Doctor Patient Arbitration Agreement” on a pad at the welcome desk In order to see a doctor. She was not …
Last year I went for my annual eye exam. Before I could enter, I had to wait in an intake line (with other patients around me) wherein I was asked whether I had received the Covid « vaccine « . I responded that it was my personal health …
Wonderful experience! My 6 year old needed an exam because I had some (relatively unfounded lol) concerns. The person who answered the phone was lovely and helpful. Dr. Johnson was sweet, patient and playful with my son, and reassuring to …
Had an annual exam here, and my insurance could not have sent me to a better place. I was treated with kindness and respect, and I always felt relaxed and comfortable. Excellent doctor and wonderful, caring staff!
The Largo office staff is so welcoming; from the moment they open their door until they say good bye. I never waited more than 2 minutes and I was seen by 3 different members of their friendly team. Traveling the 35 minutes was worth the …
