I love this girl. She is outstanding in every way! I liked how she spoke about what she was doing during the operation. Instead of dead silence. That is very comforting. And especially liked at the end when she gave me a lollipop for "being a good boy". LOL! Just kidding!

I have diabetic retinopathy. Dr. Janie is a very knowledgeable, caring doctor. She takes the time to explain what is happening with my vision and explains procedures in detail. I highly recommend the facility.

As usual; West Florida Eye Institute provides a pleasant, well-organized experience. Every aspect of my visit was exemplary: from Entrance Greeter to snacks and personal contacts during all aspects of my visit. I have never seen a more organized activity of any sort. I am confidant that the professional examination is of the same caliber. Jerry Murphy
