    Susan And Jim P. Via Yelp - Largo (West Bay Drive)
    Was scheduled to have a glaucoma workup at the Largo office, and I would need my husband to accompany me as I might not be able to drive. When I received their canned email confirming the appt., it stated my "guest" could not come with me. I called and spoke with Ashley @ Largo, and she told me that I could not go because I was not vaccinated. Strangely enough, the McMullen Booth Rd office didn't have that problem, and in fact, my husband was allowed to sit in the waiting room. Get your act together.. but you've lost a patient and I will advise anyone who asks me about an optical referral, I will advise them to STAY AWAY from this entire practice.

    From the get go, it was a poor experience. Front door Sargent blocked door and barked"where's your mask!" Slamming door in face, she reappeared to hand me mask with her bare hand (yes, same one that opened door) . Once in foyer, another tech proceeded to dilate my eyes..yes, right there at the unsterile, very public, entrance. Then I was told to sit to the side, where giant portraits of God-want-to-be doctors looked down upon us mere mortals. After awhile, I was ushered to the back, where I was stared at by the elder man across the room, also waiting for doctor. Finally Dr H appeared and took one look at his head gear, yelled "shit" and left the room. Only to reappear with fixed headgear and no gloves. Then he received an alarm on his phone for his home security system and had to leave room again. Third time he entered room, he proceeded to put on gloves, without washing any hands. He claimed my eyes were healthy and that I didn't need him anymore. Sent out to check out robot girl. She told me "you're good ". I said, clearly I have a copay. Wait, I'll look it up, was her reply. Then she said I owed $31 for last appointment. I told her that with this appointment, that would be $62. She said I'd have to talked with the financial department if I needed more clarification. I insisted paying the $62, so I wouldn't have to ever go back to this series of unfortunate events. Then as I was leaving the customer outside pushed the door closed, as she huddled there in the cold-as they wouldn't let patients inside without covid vaccines. What a disgrace to be called medical professionals. A comically tragic event of misgiving...

    On November 10, 2021, the office manager advised me that not everyone in the office was vaccinated from COVID-19. This is irresponsible for a health care provider. I cancelled my appointment.

    First visit with Dr. Davis was thorough and efficient. Dr. Davis has a very pleasant manner and made me very comfortable. I have recommended The Eye Institute to many friends and will continue to do so. Great facility and terrific staff.
