I have been a patient for several years. I am very happy with Gulf Coast Eye Center. The front desk personnel are always friendly and eager to help. The wait times are short and the exams are very thorough. I recently scratched my cornea. I was seen the same day I called and received excellent treatment. Dr Bovio even called me at 8:00 in the evening to make sure I was doing better.

Theresa the optician is wonderful! Both doctors were thorough and helpful…my daughter enjoyed her first visit to the eye doctor & my yearly visit was great. Also love that Gulfcoast Eye Center carries Gucci frames now!

Dr Jones and her staff are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I had a great exam 6 months ago and just needed a refill on my contacts and they had record of my exact ones, checked my insurance benefits and quoted me the remainder of which I paid. My contacts are on their way and I checked that off my to-do list! They make life so much easier! Great Office! 💃

I felt compelled to write this review due to the results of the cataract removal surgeries I received from Dr Shoemaker. Firstly, literally every person I encountered at this facility seemed interested and empathetic to my feelings. Secondly, literally every person I encountered from the front desk, to the various stages of testing, to the upstairs nurses were absolutely friendly and professional. Finally, the results of having both eyes cataracts removed is life changing. The color and clarity I'm experiencing did not exist for decades of my life. Truly amazing! Now I completely understand why Dr Shoemaker and Center For Sight are one of the top rated facilities in the world... Bravo!

Center for Sight on entering is a busy but organized ophthalmic center. The employees seem well-trained and the process is efficient though feels mechanized. Each of the stations for checking your eyes has a unique operator, all of whom seem to know their jobs well. This process is followed the entire way through the interview process from checking in through the eye evaluation to the ophthalmic assistant explaining the procedures, the ophthalmologist himself and then the lady who sets appointments for actual surgery. It is reassuring that they know what they do, and they do it well. Each of the employees was pleasant and knowledgeable.

The staff who bring you to your room are very nice and helpful and sufficient in all their medical field. I think my Dr. is the best. She takes her time in evaluating your medical problem and viewing test that was performed and describes what is wrong and then the best treatment to be made. Is willing to take her time to answer all my questions even when she is very busy.

The Eye Associates is a well-run practice! I never have to wait and their staff is friendly. I just had a field vision test done in the Sarasota office ( I generally go to Venice) and Maria, the tech who administered the test was THE best! She explained the process thoroughly and was very supportive and calming! Char at the Venice office reception desk is always so friendly and fun!

From scheduling to the actual appointment, my experience was wonderful. Dr. Friedman and his staff are very professional and such a happy group of people. They reminded me of a close family with how they interacted with each other. How refreshing to be in a happy, stress free atmosphere! I really appreciated the warmth and friendliness from everyone. I was so impressed with Dr, Friedman’s care and how kind and thorough he was with me at my appointment. I will highly recommend Dr.Friedman!

Probably one of the best doctor experiences I’ve had. Everyone was very professional and sweet. They explained every step. Barely any waiting. Nice waiting rooms. I had my son with me and they were very sweet to him. Great experience.
