    The Eye Institute in St. Pete was recommended by a friend who told me to see Dr. Sackstein (not sure of his last name). I walked in, gave my name and sat down to wait. I hear my name being called by someone at the main desk, which is huge with room for maybe 8-10 to work there at once, and yelling to tell me to go over to go to the side where she was. I handed her the forms I printed from their website and filled out and did not even get thanked. Then they want you to sign several forms. They use electronic signatures where you sign your name on a pad. But you can't see what you're signing! There's four laminated forms held together for you to read, then supposedly they're in order of the forms that you sign. Since she didn't show me her screen, I have no idea if she was telling me the truth. I could have been selling her my car! She never told me her name nor did she wear a badge, but she was so unfriendly, not smiling, being very short and condenscending when answering questions. Then with a wave of her hand, told me to sit in any of the waiting rooms. After a half hour of waiting, with only a gentleman in the room, someone comes to my waiting room and calls my first and last name out loud! Seriously!! I was the only woman in the room! She did an eye exam and towards the end, finally told me her name. Then it was back to the waiting room to wait for the doctor. He was very respectful, friendly and patient. I would have given them only one star if not for him. Bottom line - I will never go back there. I will never stay with a place that is so anti-patients! No courtesy, no friendliness, no compassion or concern. I deserve better and so do you.

    The most caring group. They do extensive screening and explain everything thoroughly. You are never in the dark.
