    Dr. Desai is a brilliant, down to earth doctor who took care of me as if I was his family. The attention to detail and the lengths he would go to make sure I was comfortable throughout my LAZIC procedure are the best traits a doctor could possibly have. Youd be lucky to have him, and Im grateful I did.

    Been a patient here for several years. I wont be back. Took them 48 days to provide me a copy of my medical records. I suspect I only got them because I filed a Hippa complaint. Feels like a Dr. Mill. Felt like the MD had one foot out the door before he entered the room completely. Feels like a patient volume oriented practice versus a patient care oriented practice. The Dr. examined my eyes but did not discuss any findings of his examination with me other than stating my vision is normal. I use screen reading software, an enlarged monitor and other visual aids. My vision is far from normal. The Dr. made no attempt to explore or discuss my visual complaints, a list of which I provided his nurse screening me. He did not discuss any diagnosis with me but my records now reflect a diagnosis different from what others in the field have diagnosed me with. It is confusing why he listed a diagnosis after telling me my vision was normal. He was rushed and left the room as quickly as he could. If You want comprehensive care and a physician that listens to and addresses your symptoms Id suggest you pick a practice where the physician has a vested interest in addressing patient concerns at a private practice versus a Dr. Mill. I tried to address my concerns with management , the nurse, and the Dr. directly but he ignored my attempts and management either has no autonomy to make decisions or doesnt care about patient experience. I tried on more than one occasion to get the area director to call me but that request was ignored too.

    I have been going to The Eye Institute of West Florida - Hyde Park - for almost 9 years. Today was the first day that I have felt like a number and not a valued patient. The receptionist/booking person was rude and very unhelpful. Apparently, the doctor I see isn't available until February of 2021! But according to the scheduler won't consider extending my prescription...because I'm overdue for my annual and wasn't even aware - as we're in the middle of a pandemic???? Outrageous. I will be going to see someone new immediately. A little compassion and understanding for patients would be nice and appreciated. It is a difficult time for everyone, how about not making things unduly more so?

    After 2+ years of treatment for glaucoma at the Florida Eye Institute, it was evident that the eye drops were not going to sustain me in the long term, and cataracts were significantly impairing my vision. In January, the doctor I was seeing planned to begin my surgical treatment in April. Then came Covid-19, and everything was postponed. When I was re-scheduled to resume my appointments, I was assigned to a new doctor, Amy Martino, MD. As soon as I met Dr. Martino, I knew I was in good hands (literally.) At this writing, both eyes have been surgically treated for cataracts and glaucoma. I have had no post-surgical discomfort or complications. I will continue to see her for updates on my eye pressure. And--my vision! I can see perfectly. No glasses, no cheaters, no contacts. I have one more post-op visit, and I will tell her once again that I feel I have experienced a miracle. I am so grateful to Dr. Martino and the FL Eye Institute and the Brandon Surgical Center.
