Can you recommend this one?
I sure hope I can soon get settled in with a permanent eye dr-missing my drs from back home.

I am being referred to the opthalmologist at Villages Eye Institute, just to have a more comprehensive exam due to diabetes. In January we saw an optometrist, Dr. Heidi Gonzales there and we were happy with her. I believe the opthalmologist is Larry Perich. The Villages Eye Institute is a new location of the Perich Eye Center, which has at least 3 other offices south of The Villages.
My research on line has turned up some disturbing information on this doctor:
Pasco: Eye clinic owner also faces charges

I may wait to see if St. Lukes will take our insurance. Their new office is currently under construction in the Lake Sumter Landing area. Their reputation is stellar from all I know. I have sent them an e-mail, asking if they will be taking this insurance and if I get an answer I will come back to post it here.
