    I had utilized Dr Weinstock in 2000 for my LASIK surgery with amazing results and an excellent staff. Unfortunately in 2020-2021 not the same excellent experience. After almost 6 months &two surgeries in my current interactions with Dr. Ho- I can only really appreciate how amazing Dr Weinstock was. In October, following my retina detachment, I contacted Dr. Weinstocks office to try to secure my records from my past excellent experience with my LASIK surgery. The assistant i spoke with seemed helpful & referred me to their office in Tampa where their retina specialist was. I went in for my initial consult where Dr Ho notified me I had a detached retina&needed urgent surgery for my dire situation. Dr Ho proceeded to quote a rate of over $2300 -which would include my follow up visits post surgery-my mother also heard her say this price for the aforementioned services. On November 2,2020 Dr . Ho performed my surgery. I did my follow up post surgery appointments with Dr Ho. On 3/3/2021 after my brief observation by Dr Ho-I was charged for this visit as well as my brief follow up visit this afternoon on 4/2/2021. I have subsequently now over paid almost $600 to Dr.Ho for these unexpected charges beyond the quoted price for my surgery&follow up appointments. It is unfortunate when money supersedes the quality of a doctors concern for correcting their patients problem&then charging excessively over agreed upon price surgery&post surgery!!! I must warn anyone going into their South Tampa office-BEWARE!!the dark haired receptionist is the absolutely RUDEST person I have ever had the misfortune of having to interact with in any professional setting!!!! Really upset over this situation created by dismissing the care of a patient for the acquisition of the patients money!!!Really a pitiful money grab!!!!

    She seemed rushed and uncommunicative. This was my first time meeting her. Disappointing.

    My visit with this Dr. was unprofessional. He specializes in neurology but didn't know what an aura before a seizure is, he questioned the fact that I had seizures. When they are very much real and being treated by my neurologist. I'm not sure what I got out of my appointment besides bullied and chewed out. He would ask a question and interrupt me so much I couldn't even answer his question to explain why condition. He treated me like an incapable, stupid woman. NO person should be treated that way , patients should be treated with dignity and respect. Under no circumstance should people see this "doctor". He is a black mark on the reputation of the Eye Institute of Florida.
