Hubby and I both use Ocala Eye, and have been lucky I guess.
He called on Monday about a vision problem, was seen on Tues, had Laser surgery on Wed. (today) in Ocala for the Yag laser to treat cloudiness long after cataract removal.
That may be an exception, but he is thrilled. I don't recall his doc's name, female, Indian and excellent.
I have seen Dr Pollack and will be changing docs. His focus is dry eyes. I get the feeling that everyone he sees has dry eyes......He talked me into having expensive tests not covered by my insurance. I have had dry eyes for some 20 years and have found it is mainly related to inflammation from allergies and menopause. He wanted me to book frequent follow ups, take supplements only sold there (red flag) and be re tested (at my cost) in 4 weeks. I have been down this road with the best and he really resented it when I told him I do understand the cause of my dry eyes and my plan of care has been working well. He proceeded to stomp out of the room.
I know lots of folks love him, but I am not one. I will be switching to my hubby's doc.
