Today, my 7-year-old daughter had ear surgery, and from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, our experience was absolutely wonderful. Every single member of the staff was exceptional with her. While surgery is never something anyone looks forward to, they did an incredible job of making the entire experience feel easier and much less overwhelming. My little girl was very nervous, and there was one staff member in particular who stayed by her side the whole time, reassuring her, validating her feelings, and helping her feel safe and ...
Very poor experience at the Emergency Room. The wait time was excessively long, even though this was an emergency, and there was no communication or clear explanation provided at any point. Customer service was extremely disappointing. The staff appeared indifferent, lacked empathy, and showed little willingness to assist. I waited for hours without receiving proper attention or updates. An emergency room should prioritize patients and provide humane, respectful care - something that clearly did not happen here. Overall, a very disappointing ...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an excellent experience at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. From the moment I arrived, the professionalism of the doctors and staff was superb. Everything was organized, efficient, and the entire process moved quickly and smoothly. I had surgery for my myopia and astigmatism, and I truly felt I was in very capable hands. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. Their technology and facilities are outstanding, which gave me even more confidence in the procedure. Everything ...
I brought my 94yo mother with Macular Degeneration. They were amazingly fast & courteous. I was particularly appreciative of the effort they made to keep us posted every step of checking, evaluation & diagnosis. Everyone was on the ball. A big compliment to the gentleman who handles the checking in/out desk. He really held the pulse of the place in view! The security guard downstairs were super helpful that Sunday & kept an eye on mom while I went down the street to park. They even took extra time to chat it up with her in my absence. So sweet!
We went to Bascom Palmer Eye Emergency Department for my husband. While we appreciated the medical care he received, we were very disappointed with how the prescription was handled. We were asked which pharmacy we use, and the prescription was sent there without anyone checking or mentioning that the pharmacy was closed on Sunday. When I called for help transferring it to an open pharmacy, I was told they would call me back but couldn't give me any timeframe. I was also made to feel as though it was my responsibility to have known the pharmacy was ...
I recently had an eye examination with Dr. Richard Morales at Optical Express, located at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute’s Lennar Foundation Medical Center in Coral Gables. Dr. Morales was extremely thorough, professional, and attentive, and the entire examination was an excellent experience. I also had the good fortune of being assisted by Dunia. She was exceptionally polite, caring, professional, and thorough. Although there was a short delay with my eyeglasses, Dunia went above and beyond to make everything right. I am very grateful to both Dunia ...
