Gulf Coast Optometry

After reading the one star reviews its evident that I made a wrong decision going to this doctor. Here's how he earned my one star. The dude went in and touched around my eye with out washing his hands nor did he have gloves on. No warning just went in I guess to get a better look. This was after he touch the folder the front desk girl touched. After he touched his computer and mouse to check my eye pictures. Who knows what he touched before he got to my eye. There's a sinks in the office for a reason. There's gloves on the desk for a reason. Use them, that's an order.

One star is being generous...I had a refraction done at the Eyeglass World location on St Lucie West Blvd. Making and going in to the appt, I made it clear that it was just for a test for eyeglasses (refraction). When I went into the exam room, the chair did not even line up with the eyechart projector screen. The chair was to the left (as was the lens finding machine) and I had to turn my head to right to look at the eye chart. That should be the worst of it, but the optometrist seemed more interested in the science of my eye than focusing on just the refraction process. When it was all said and done the optometrist rushed thru my refraction barely spending ample time, going back and forth thru lens adjustments, for me feel confident in his said prescription. It should be the optometrist focus to switch lens adjustments back the number of times for me to feel comfortable with my eyeglass prescription...and not be content with 3 adjustments back and forth. I have worn glasses some 35 years and this by far was the least satisfied I have ever felt leaving a refraction. What is most annoying is that I have now wasted my insurance covered refraction (for 2022) and will have to pay another (better) eye doctor $70 out of pocket for a proper refraction.

Dr & staff are very rude even though this Dr. does not work for eyeglass world he is independent through Gulf Coast Optometry I will never ever use this office again the Dr did not give me my RX for my contacts so I called Friday to get my info and now the office just informed me he is not there on Tuesday so why didn't you tell me when I called back on Friday . Terrible service
