Eye Doctor needed
 

Can anyone assist with finding an eye doctor (Surgeon and optometry)
in the area. Looking for info on the good and the ones to stay away from!
Thanks !!

Dr. Schwenk of Ocala eye is excellent. He is a opth---(cant spell it!) He is at Ocala Eye at Laurel Manor on Fridays only, though. well known around town, good reputation.

We go to Dr. Jodi Armstrong and Dr. Samy of Ocala Eye. Dr Sami is a retinal specialist and is only in Ocala. Dr. Armstrong is at Laurel Manor. Very good care.

Ocala Eye or Mid-Florida Eye---both have great credentials from posts on here. I've been a patient at Ocala Eye...with Dr. Elmallah. Don't go to Lange---as I've read posts on here that are negative.

Mid Florida Eye
 

Mid Florida Eye--Dr. Jeffery Baumann---They are wonderful

Saint Lukes eye is great and they have a new state of the art facility right near Lake sumter landing

I've been to both Ocala eye and Mid-Florida. Both were OK but I give the edge to Dr. Panzo at Mid-Florida. I was impressed with his thoroughness in doing measurements for cataract surgery. If you do a search you will find that he has many recommendations.

Dr Scott Holman of Lake Eye is wonderful. Well thought of and very compassionate.

Mid Florida
Panzo for Cataract
Meizell for retina
Shorr in Leesburg for optomitrist
These are all at Mid Fla Eye

Ocala Eye in Laurel Manor ... Dr. Polack. He's very good at what he does.

Agree on both counts (that is, avoid Lange...), and though Dr. ElMallah is terrific, there are many other good ophthalmologists at Ocala Eye, a very professional practice with virtually every service available. Which MD might depend on your specific problem, as they have different ophthalmological specialties. If your issue is retinal, then a thumbs up for Dr. Samy, trained in Boston by the best, though located only in Ocala.
