Sight and Sun Eyeworks

I cannot recommend Eye Institute of W FL enough. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive. Everyone from reception, to PA's to nurses are wonderful. Special shout-out to Lee, who has always remembered me and shared a funny story with me, even on my second visit ever! But, the real star is Dr. Kirsh. I was referred to him by my beloved optometrist of over 30 years, Dr. David Brill, and I knew right away I was in good hands. Dr. Kirsch has saved my eyesight from diabetic retinopathy, despite my best efforts to thwart him by eating sugar like it's, well, candy! He is honestly just the warmest, sweetest, funniest (in a "dad joke" kinda way) caring and most relatable doctor I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Not only that, but he is experienced and confident in his expertise. And his fashion sense, LOL. The quality of care I have received at Eye Institute is nothing short of outstanding in every regard. I would emphatically recommend this practice to anyone I care about, and I genuinely hope I never have to go anywhere else for eye care. Dr. Kirsch is NEVER allowed to retire!

This practice shows a consistent disregard for their patients’ time. Of my last five appointments, four were either rescheduled or reassigned to different providers to accommodate physicians’ personal schedules. Even after adjusting to their changes, I still end up waiting well over an hour past my appointment time. These aren’t routine visits—they’re expensive elective procedures—and yet the level of respect and reliability is shockingly low. Their priority seems to be whatever works best for them, not their patients. I strongly recommend choosing a different practice; there are plenty of options that actually value the people they serve.

As a physician myself, Dr. Desai’s condescending and high and mighty attitude was unpleasant to see. He believes no patient can have any problems if he’s done their surgery! Absolutely abysmal wait times and poor attitude from the staff. Clearly not a great place to work and doctors who need to work on their bedside manners.

I should have known from the moment I made the appointment. Was lousy. Waited a few weeks for my appointment and never heard back. Called this morning of set appointment and was told I had canceled it. No I didn't!! Now they say they made a mistake and couldn't give me an appointment until they get authorization from my primary Dr. I was sent to these Bozos from the Visionworks Dr. Called made an appointment and then the runaround began. Will take a few weeks for next appointment. NO THANK YOU!!!! I can't trust any of my Healthcare to an incompetent so called medical office! I should have gotten the picture with their stunning 3.8 star reviews. My humble opinion! RUN!!!!!

I was told that laser treatment of floaters was safe. Dr. kirsch hit my lens with the laser and caused my lens to fracture. This resulted in a cataract. My lens had to be removed and because of the damage I did not have a choice of a new lens type. The only one that was an option did not give me good vision. I know have decreased vision in one eye that contact lenses can’t fix.
