Upon moving to TV over four years ago, we began with Ocala Eye and Dr. Polack. He's an excellent doctor, but always in such a hurry. I had developed diabetes, and I was disappointed that I had to point that out to him even though it was highlighted in their updated medical records.
Last year, I developed a torn retina. In an emergency situation, I was seen by Dr. Jodie Armstrong at the Laurel Manor office. She was wonderful, and I have since changed to her as my doctor instead of Dr. Polack.
For the torn retina, I did have to go to the surgery center in Ocala, where Dr. Samy performed laser surgery. He's amazing (degrees from Harvard AND Yale), although not loaded with personality. Since I was more interested in saving the sight in my eye, I wasn't overly concerned about his personality. He is apparently one of the top retina specialists in the state, and my eye has healed beautifully.
I would highly recommend this medical group, although I would definitely check out the doctor you decide to use. If I remember correctly, they do have at least one with a less desireable history.
