Elite Eyecare Specialists

Absolutely amazing...!! I initially visited because I had been let down by another practice and I am so glad that that I did. My vision was getting worse as I had a cataract growing rapidly in my left eye and a smaller one in my right eye. I was wearing contacts and glasses for reading..! My initial appointment was to evaluate and to meet Dr. Analisa Arosemena and her team. Everyone was extremely professional and friendly and gave 100% to helping me see again without the need for glasses or contacts. I chose the LAL (Light Adjustable Lenses) as I had had Lasik 20 years ago plus I didn't want to depend on glasses. After all, I figured the expense would be worth it for the remainder of my life. About a week after the initial visit, I was in the clinic for my right eye operation. The following day the other eye was operated on..! Hardly any pain or discomfort at all. The eyes did feel a little scratchy but this was alleviated with drops every few hours. To cut a long story short, I now have 20/15 vision in both eyes..! No need at all for glasses, including computer work or seeing afar. Great work team...

On her birthday my 82 year old mother was referred to Dr Taher in January after seeing 5 optometrists. Payment was made of $250 for the appointment and he claims to be able to do this routine surgery in 15 mins that he has done countless times before. As this was a cash paid surgery we followed all the steps to provide the needful and in under a week no calls or emails form Ms Claudia to update us on next steps. Many calls were placed on hold and disconnected and finally en email from Mavel tells us surgery in 2 days at $6900. Payment to Dr Taher $3700 and $3200 for their clinic of choice located 30 minutes away. We accepted and drove to the doctor’s office for payment on day of surgery $3500 was paid as negotiated and remaining balance due at the clinic in Coral Gables. The lobby is where the receptionist numbs the eyes and asks me if I was advised of payment due, upon which I provide my card to pay $3200 balance and was Instead presented with a marked up invoice of $5125. Clearly believing there was a clerical error and Ms Claudia will remedy this, but suffice to say nothing was ever done. NOBODY CARED about my 82 year old mother who has lost her depth perception and keeps falling. Everyone just wanted to line their pockets and extort an elderly woman. Claudia claims an email was sent to her 5pm day prior but up until our 3pm surgery next day, she failed to read her emails, and we don’t know if such ghost emails exists. This is how business should NEVER be conducted. My elderly mother returned home after 5 hours of this lost day as we were stuck in traffic. Shame on the Elite Eye Care office, 2 weeks have since passed and still nobody had acknowledged us, not a call back not an email reply. All that we ask is that you refund the $250 initial visit in order to go somewhere else to fix a problem you should have fixed and displayed your DUTY OF CARE towards your patient. I am sure you would not treat your own mother this way. As a professional I have given you ample time to call back and discuss this responsibly. It is very unkind to hear Ms Claudia blaming others as she “scrambled” to book the clinic, we are your clients and not third class citizens and you have the responsibility to give us the compassion needed. DO NOT EXTORT your clients with nearly a 10 thousand surgery and call yourself elite. The subpar service at this office should not be acceptable to any physician. I will be obligated to alert my optometrist who referred us on how poorly we were handled. Should you do the right thing and refund $250 initial fee I will convince my 82 year old mother that you actually cared and perhaps her life experience is not as she believes that you tried to pull the wool over her eyes. A very dissatisfied encounter

I had a great experience with all the staff and especially Dr. Taher today during my visit. Great doctor who listens to you and detailed with assessment, explanation and plan of care. So happy I was referred here. Thank you for all your help and support and making me feel at ease with my vision concern. All my best wishes!

De Arosemena is very professional ,and knowledgeable, I loved her. Gina is so caring, and professional. Everyone at the office is very supportive, always available to ask any questions, they all make you feel at home. Best experience ever!!!

Had an appointment at 150pm. Was waiting for almost 2 hours nobody said what was going on, the secretary was totally clueless even though she said I was the next patient and they saw someone else first. They said I could reschedule. I asked for my $ back and left the office. Don’t come here
