I’m big on giving people and establishments credit where it’s due and Dr. Claudia Alonso absolutely deserves one. My experience with her was exceptional from beginning to end. A few months ago, I had an eye exam done at America’s Best and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. My concerns about my vision and astigmatism were not properly addressed, and I later discovered that the glasses I paid for were made incorrectly for single vision instead of bifocals. I also struggled with contact lenses that never seemed to fit or feel right. Everything changed when I saw Dr. Alonso at the Walmart Vision Center in Carrollwood/Northdale on a walk-in visit. The difference was truly night and day. Dr. Claudia Alonso O.D was incredibly thorough, patient, knowledgeable, and professional. She took the time to carefully examine my eyes, explain my vision issues in detail, and educate me on what had been overlooked previously. She immediately identified that my glasses prescription had been made incorrectly and helped guide me in getting the issue corrected properly. Most importantly, she actually listened…!!! Today I returned for my contact lens trial fitting, and once again the level of care was beyond what I had experienced elsewhere. She carefully checked my vision with the contacts, made sure the fit was correct, and ensured I was comfortable and able to see before finalizing anything. For the first time in a long time, I felt like my vision was being treated with real attention and care. I also want to recognize her team, who were equally professional, kind, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. From the moment I walked in, everyone treated me with patience, respect, and genuine care. Dr. Alonso may be at Walmart Vision Center, but do not underestimate the Quality of care you will receive from her. She exceeded the level of service and professionalism I experienced at a much larger chain optical provider. Lastly, I want to personally thank Dr. Alonso for helping me finally get the proper prescription and for treating me with such compassion and professionalism. It truly made a difference, and I am deeply grateful for the care I received. If you are looking for an eye doctor who is thorough, compassionate, detail-oriented, and truly committed to her patients, I highly recommend Dr. Claudia Alonso.

I had a really great appointment with Dr. Alonso, she was very informative and offered great advice for my eyes. I really appreciated how she was very detailed about everything, and things to look out for as I get older. Her staff were very friendly and helpful. Thanks Dr. Alonso for a great appointment.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Claudia Alonso. She was very professional, caring, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt listened to and well taken care of throughout my visit. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for excellent eye care!
I saw Dr Alonso today for my eye exam. Left there very impressed. Completely knowledgeable and very friendly. The entire experience was refreshing. The whole staff was wonderful and helped me pick out a nice pair of glasses. Not to mention the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!
Dr. Claudia Alonso is just outstanding! In a world that has come to value volume over quality she sets a completely different tone in her office! She has such a polish and professionalism. At the same time you feel like you are the only customer that matters. No rushing, only dedicated listening. She doesn’t just tell you this is what you must have, she actually takes the time to hear what your previous experiences were and how they were affected by them. She is so thoughtful and sweet… she happened to hear that one of our dogs was struggling and when she realized the staff was helping other customers, she stopped straight to the register and said let me take care of that so I could get home to her ! She gave me new advice on what to do with my blurriness and no one has ever made those recommendations before. I was actually taking a medicine that was causing it and it was confirmed by my doctor after years of not knowing. I hadn’t been back in the weeks and the goat thing she asked was hotter my dog was doing! You are lucky to have most optometrists even remember your name after you leave. If you have the chance to choose Dr. Alonso and her staff, I can promise you will be so glad. It will be the only place you ever need for your eye health! Top notch!!!
