Dear Dr. Lorenzen: I wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you very much for your accommodation to see me on extremely short notice. On the morning of Friday, June 8, 2012, I awoke to an inflammation of the eye. I did some internet searching and found what looked to be a very professional team in your group. At 6:43 AM, I called your overnight office answering service to see about scheduling a new patient appointment. I expected to be called around 9am when most office staffs start returning calls. Furthermore, I also expected that I would have to wait a week or more before getting an appointment. Shortly after hanging up with your service, you contacted me at approximately 6:55 am. To be honest, having a doctor call a new patient at that hour was surprising. My surprise was surpassed by the fact that you scheduled me for an appointment for 8am the same morning. Once arriving at the office, your staff promptly gathered my information and escorted me to the waiting room. In less time that it took me to take a sip of your free coffee in your waiting room, my name was being called by Pat, one of your nurses. She asked me several questions and did the initial evaluation. Within 10 minutes I was being examined by you. Quickly diagnosing my problem, your wrote me a prescription for antibiotics, recommended hot compresses, scheduled me for a follow up on Monday at the same time and I was on my way. The entire office visit took less than 45 minutes from start to finish. My eye infection has disappeared and I am back to normal. I wanted to let you know that this is the most professional medical office and staff that I have ever had the pleasure visit. You and your staff were amazing. I highly recommend you, Dr. Lorenzen, and the Tampa Eye Clinic for anyone wanting quality eye care! Thanks again.

I have been going to Tampa Eye Clinic for over 20 years and Dr. Leach is my ophthalmologist. He is one of the most caring, sincere and professionally talented physicians in any field of medicine that I have experienced over my lifetime. Dr. Leach and his staff exhibit a level of confidence and knowledge that puts you, as the patient, at ease which is critical in the healing process. Dr. Leach and his staff always completely communicate to you what actions they are currently performing and why, the diagnosis, the choices you may have as a patient, the recommended treatments available and the possible/probable outcomes. You are never left wondering about any part of the process. Much of the time I have seen Dr. Leach and his staff for rather routine issues. However, In February of 2016 Dr. Leach diagnosed shingles in my right eye, a very serious illness in which the loss of sight is very possible. After a year of very caring, professional and diligent care by Dr. Leach and his staff there is no evidence of shingles in my eye and no residual damage. Cataract surgery in my right eye had to be postponed because of the shingles but it was successfully completed on March 6 of this year by Dr. Leach. Once again I could not have asked for better care and results! My sight is tremendously improved. I would highly recommend Dr. Leach his staff and Tampa Eye Clinic as been the best in the business!

I went in to look for frames. No sales help for 10 minutes. My friend had to go to their office and ask for help. The saleman showed me a frame that I liked for $100. While I was looking at other frames to compare it with, the frame suddenly disappeared. It turned up in the sales office with the price sticker missing. Now, I know I didnt go into their office and put the frame there. My friend didnt go into the office and put the frame there. So that leaves the 2 sales people. I asked to have the model number written down and inquired about the price. I told her I saw the price was $100, she said she thought it was higher. She had to look it up in the computer and guess what? The price is now $180. Soooo shady!!! Needless to say I didnt get the frames and I will never go back there again! BEWARE!!!! (BTW I looked up same frames online $100 retail price)

Decided to use this clinic to remove my cataract. Dr Lorenzen is great but the front desk staff is very unprofessional. The lady with long dark hair and glasses at the billing desk told me that I was a " self pay disaster" in front of her coworkers as well. Patti in the back office was the only reason I continued the process. The problem is that nobody seems to know how much everything costs and they never let you know up front what the cost of anything is. Just an all around terrible experience for me. Dishonesty best describes this place. And rude employees. The only reason it received one star was because of the Doctor and Patti. I will NEVER RECOMMEND this place to anyone. I guess if you are paying out of your own pocket you are put in a whole other category at this office! Good luck!

I thought my eyes were so sensitive that I could never wear contacts, because the thought of touching my eyes was impossible. Then, I developed cataracts requiring surgery. Imagine my stress level knowing the doctor was going to CUT my eye. I had no choice. It was the most amazing medical experience of my life. The eye was well numbed, and I was in and out of surgery in about ten minutes. It was so fascinating, I wanted to look around, but was reminded I was getting eye surgery. It felt like I closed my eyes, and touched my eyelid and pressed a tiny bit. Thats it. I was out the door within ten minutes of leaving the operating room. I now have 20-20 vision, I think 50 years ago, Id be blind!

I dont understand all the negative reviews of this clinic. I have been going here for several years and have never encountered the issues that some on this site are complaining about. If you have an appointment and you have accurate and current insurance there should be no problems. I have never waited more than 10 minutes in the waiting room for my exam or for the contact lens department. Everyone is friendly and helpful and Dr. Scheiner is wonderful and thorough. I have not dealt with any other doctors so, I cant review them. Never has anyone been rude to me at this clinic.

I have been going to the Tampa Eye Institute for about 4 years now and have had excellent care from Dr. Reynolds. The ladies in the front office have never been rude to me. The only reason I cannot give a 5 star rating is because of the time I have had to wait, sometimes as long as 2 hours. Hopefully if they can take care of that negative, would surely give it a 5 rating. Always professional, have saved my right eye from losing sight, very happy with my Doctor and his staff. (P.

I keep my appointment with Dr Scheinar at Tampa eye clinic. I expected professional help to resolve issues with my vision. With my experience I knew that Dr Scheinar was not the doctor for me. The assistants did all the work. The man was insulting by making a disrespectful physical contacted to me I found this very disrespectful. I will not return to the Tampa eye clinic bc of Dr Scheinar
