My experience with cataract surgery was excellent. From the very beginning, I was treated with professionalism, care, and attention by Dr Dias and the entire team. The surgery went smoothly, and the result was perfect. The lens turned out great, and now I can see with a clarity I hadn’t experienced in a long time. I’m noticing details and everyday things that I couldn’t see before. I wouldn’t say I feel “reborn,” but I definitely feel much better and more confident in my daily life. This surgery has truly improved my quality of life, and I’m very ...
I had such a wonderful experience at Atlantic Eye Institute office! Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and caring from the moment I walked in. Dr Samara was patient, gentle, and took the time to make sure everything was explained clearly. You can really tell they care about their patients and want you to feel comfortable. The whole visit felt easy and pleasant, and I left feeling very happy with the care I received. I truly appreciate the kindness and professionalism of the entire team. I highly recommend the Atlantic Eye Institute to everyone. Thank you ...
Dr. Lancaster has been my eye doctor for many years, and he is absolutely amazing. He truly cares about his patients and always goes above and beyond. Recently, he even came in on his day off to help me, which meant a lot. His kindness, dedication, and expertise are exceptional. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for outstanding eye care.
I have been a patient of Atlantic Eye Institute and Dr Lancaster since I moved to Atlantic Beach Florida and have been extremely impressed and grateful. The professionalism and care among all of the staff is wonderful. Dr Lancaster is a wonderful doctor. His knowledge experience and passion for his patients is extraordinary. I am blessed to have him and the entire staff taking care of my eyes and eyesight.
I have generally had good experiences at Atlantic Eye Institute. Most of the time I have gone to the Bennett office, but the two times prior to this one were at the Atlantic office. Having to go to the Beach this time was already inconvenient since I live in the Westside. I really like Dr. Duss, who did both of my cataract surgeries. However, I felt rushed this time since it was late in the afternoon. My appointment was for 3:40, but was not seen for the preliminary steps in the process until after 4:00. Normally I would give 5 stars to this practice, ...
I have been with Atlantic Eye for 2 years now and I highly recommend. Appointments run efficiently and the staff are always personable and kind. The doctors are friendly. Most importantly, my eye exam is thorough and my glasses are just right. I feel very confident in the care provided here.
