Bay Area Retina Consultants

Was sent here to see Dr Menosky for a detached retina. The staff and Dr Menosky were very courteous, appointments on time, insurance covered. I was very happy with the first operation. After a couple weeks I could barely see out of my right eye. Then 3 months after operation, retina detached again. A second operation was done and 8 weeks after retina detached again. Then a third operation and less than 6 weeks, detached again. I had complete confidence in Dr Menosky, but after 3 operations, decided to try elsewhere. By this time they closed this location and Dr Menosky had moved across US 19 to Robson Eye Institute. And the office was always behind and long waits to see DR.

Dr. Menosky has been in practice for almost 30yrs….and his lack of enthusiasm is ever apparent. We’ve been coming to his clinic for over a year and it’s one of the most miserable doctor experiences we do. It’s like this every time. We typically have the first appointment of the day due to work schedules. Dr. Menosky walks into the building 30-45min AFTER our appointment. We are then taken back to start the exams. He is gruff and rude to his patients during the exam. The staff is disorganized. We have avoided SEVERAL clinical mistakes by paying attention to what is being said vs. what is being done. Beware. They are going through the motions…they do not care or respect the patients. They are in the business of collecting dollars; not patient care.

I went to this doctor and his partner for over 25 years. I had no idea the exam was not supposed to be painful because they were the only Retina specialist I saw. Dr. Menosky was the worst. The last few years I change to a different retina specialist and it has never hurt at all. My new doctor told me it’s not supposed to be painful. They used a cup and dug it into my eye over and over again with pressure. Also, you wait hours and hours to be seen in their office because they overbook. I don’t think I was ever there less than five hours. It’s a shame because the office staff has always been extremely professional and nice.

I have seen Dr Mines at the Palm Harbor and Bayonet Point Office. The staff very nice. Dr Mines was very kind, did a very thorough and gentle exam and made sure my eye was completely numb for my injection and laser treatment. I did have to wait today, but my other visits, I was seen quickly. Due to all the testing, exams and pictures, each visit lasted about 2.5, which is understandable for all that is done. I would recommend Dr. Mines.

Very nice, small eye doctor. The doctor and staff are very friendly. Be prepared to wait a while, as this place can get quite busy.
