Has anyone had any dealings with Dr. Mamdouh Zeini? He has offices in Southern Trace and Spanish Springs.

There are many clinics and specialists who focus on cataract surgery and glaucoma. I am looking for a competent eye surgeon who does general eye surgery.

I go to Ocala Eye, Dr. Michael Morris. All the employers are so nice and helpful. The other doctor also is a wonderful doctor. I have friends who use him. I had cataract surgery and had no problems, nor did any of my friends who have had eye surgery. Very clean and efficient.

I went to Dr. Zeini for two years and I really liked him. Unfortunately he is not on my new insurance plan, so I am going to try Mid-Florida Eye. I hope they are as good as he was and the staff was excellent.

My husband goes to Dr Zeini .... has for almost 10 yrs. Very happy with his practice.

We use Dr Lang at Lang Eye. He is prompt and professional. No up sell on anything. I have my yearly exams and have gotten a pair of eye glasses as well. They were helpful in helping me find the right frames for my face and helped me save as much as I could through my insurance. In fact I have an appointment there tomorrow!

Thanks so much for the feedback on Dr. Zeini. Much appreciated since I have an appointment scheduled with him on Wednesday morning. I am hoping he can do some minor surgery so I won't have to fly back to Canada to have it.

Been to both and liked them both.

Had an issue this week with floaters that could have been serious and called the new St Lukes at Lake Sumter and they couldn't see me until March. Called Lange and they got me in 4 hours later. Fortunately, everything was OK.

First of all, this isn't about cost. As far as I'm concerned, cost isn't a factor when eyesight is concerned. And this isn't really criticism of either Ocala Eye or Mid Florida Eye, because they are big institutions and have established procedures which must be followed. But I did need immediate attention to a eye problem I was having which has been causing a lot of discomfort and inflammation.

I was having a lot of difficulty booking an immediate appointment with Ocala Eye or Mid Florida Eye, since I was not an established patient. Although I had a full eye exam by an Opthamologist two months ago, both places insisted I would need a full eye exam at a cost of $245 before they could even look at my current problem. The price wasn't the problem, it's just that both places said a full eye exam couldn't be quickly scheduled. And they said an appointment for the corrective procedure would have to be booked after my initial visit at an additional cost.

I was able to quickly book an appointment with Dr. Zeini, after I explained the situation to his office staff. I was very impressed with the staff, the promptness, and the whole handling of the problem I was having. Dr. Z performed the corrective procedure and all is well. It wasn't surgery, but they had to put numbing drops in my eyes to prevent pain, and I was apprehensive. Dr. Z was terrific. The fee was $120 for exam and procedure.

Dr. Zeini has offices in Southern Trace Plaza and in Spanish Springs. I highly recommend him.
