    Marsha K. Via Yellowpages - St. Petersburg (Central Avenue)
    I have two major issues. One: In 2016 my husband went to the Central Ave office for a stubborn sty on his left eyelid, he wasnt seen by a doctor but his assistant saw him, spent over $200. for products that didnt touch it. He was told nothing they could do. The sty did go down in size, so didnt think anything was wrong. However 3 years later come to find out the sty was stage 3 basal cell cancer diagnosed at Moffitt.Second issue: Very dear friend of mine had eye surgery, the lens was inverted, she was in pain. Instead of them checking their work, she was told it was probably shingle. Really! For three years, her pain level had been excruciating, vision compromised, many surgeries to repair what was no longer repairable. Her pain was constant, she said it felt like razor blades cutting into her eye. She died 5/13/2020. This practice is responsible for her death!

    Dr. Hairston and his team are exceptional. I had two detached retinas post partum (with twins) and they literally saved my vision. While they were doing great work medically, they also took care of me as a person with empathy and patience. This was a terrible thing to happen to a new mom and I'm thankful for their care.

    I have been seen by Dr. Johnson over the years and have always been very pleased with the time he takes with me. Most recently I had to rely on telemed visits with him but he was patient and thorough under the circumstances.
