Florida Eye Microsurgical Institute

Excellent care, from people and doctors who take pride in their work. Local practice with exceptional treatment. I highly recommend Florida Eye!

If you have a real serious eye problem this is the place to go. I found out about Dr. Schechter because he did surgery on my wife’s eye to remove a small cancer tumor that he found. Later on I was having problems with my eye and found out I had developed what basically amounts to some eye callouses from the sun and dirt getting to my eye and turns out he is very knowledgeable in treating that specific problem as well. On top of his knowledge and skills, Dr. Schechter has a good bedside manner which is rare in Palm Beach County. Very funny and nice guy.

I can only speak to my experience. I made an appointment through the Wellington office for 9÷16÷2014 at the Boynton Beach office. When I arrived they had not informed the Boynton office; I waited for 45 mins due to their incompetence. The technician doing my eye exam was having a bad day and couldn’t capture the right axis & called another staff member in to help. The prescription was incorrect as I discovered after purchasing 2 pairs of glasses, a $ 500.00 investment. I returned to FL Eye on 9÷29÷2014 for another 45min. wait, again, due to their incompetence. A physician did the exam this time & apologized because both eyes were incorrectly examined the 1^st time. Perhaps, my experience was simply the perfect storm of ineptitude. People have bad days, I just don’t want to have to worry if the Eye Institute staff are having a good day or a bad day. We live in South FL… the land of plenty; my recommendation is go somewhere else.

These are the best ophthalmologists in Palm beach county. The woman who watches my son was having problems with Her eyes. She was seen by three of these amazing doctors and the results are phenomenal. I wouldn’t trust my eyes to anyone else. It is a busy practice because of the outstanding doctors that are in it, but it is a very professional office where patients come first. I highly recommend Florida Eye.

I have been to Florida Eye twice over the past several months. Dr. Gorscak and the staff are excellent. As a graduate student, it can be very difficult to fit a doctor’s appointment into my busy school schedule. The staff was extremely accommodating and helped to make appointments that would work best for me. Throughout the appointments, Dr. Gorscak and his staff answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease. I’ll definitely be going back for my future care!

One star for conveniently off I95…
This place is a FACTORY.15 people in waiting room with 12 chairs!
Went with my 39 year old son.
Had to make 2 visits in April… Over 3 hours each time Wait, seen by tech, wait, seen by another and so on.5 mins with Dr Katz after all tests.done.Bill $ 800.Oh, insurance didnt cover… no real solid diagnosis… you MAY have a cataract developing…
Last week, after the rt eye got worse, made another appointment. Yet another couple of hours, ending with a 20 min wait «on deck» for Dr Schecter to give us HIS 5 minutes.
Yes, a cataract, I recommend a $ 2700 dual lens. See my co-ordinator…(to pay her)
OK, waited again… You can have cheap, free lens, or our $ 500 HD lens or the $ 2700 lens. Decided on the HD lens.
Phone call a couple of days ago from an unknown doctor… you have astigmatism… need a $ 700 toric lens (first I heard of this problem).
OK, returned today at 9.15 am for surgery… pay $ 700 now and do you have a living will? Am I going to die here? (maybe of old-​age…), so far at $ 2550 out of pocket.
30 mins later over hear Dr Schecter has emergency, running 90 mins late and my early, first first appt… I am now # 5… is now 2 hrs late
ie a total of over 4 hours for this appt.
On discussion with Rhonda, she said it happens… NO text or phone call? No answer from her, or Dr S or Jason and Dirk who threw us OUT when we asked for fees to be refunded. They reluctantly refunded, gave us records and we left.
Made us wait in the car 25 mins for the refunds/​docs…
Went to our eye doc, she gave him a stronger contact and he can now see at 90%…Going to another eye doc tomorrow… single practitioner, no more eye factories for us.
Will update later.
