Dr. Linda M Lepik, MD

What I really admired about her is that she really listened, without rushing me and was empathetic. Upon explaining my problem she gave me a thorough exam. Then she proceeded to advise me on the cause, how it develops, the symptoms, what she can do to help me, what I can do to prevent it and how I can continue a home routine on my own. She verbalized, used graphics, demonstrated, responded to questions and most importantly reviewed everything so I thoroughly understood what was going on. She followed up with written instructions on how and when to administer treatments. She is a wonderful doctor and I should know since I work in the medical field. I highly recommend her as she is if you want someone who truly listens.

Dr. Lepik takes amazing care of her patients with great attention to detail. She takes her time with each one. You leave with a sense of truly being cared for as a person.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lepik for years. She is extremely thorough, friendly and personal and will take the time to explain and answer all questions/concerns you may have without making you feel like you have been rushed through for the next patient. She is the best I have seen in the tampabay area. At one point I moved to Inglis FL which is more than an hourss drive to her office but I was willing to make that drive because of how thorough, kind, friendly and thorough she is.

Ever since Lepik started fooling around with my 90+ mothers "dry eye" problem, my mother has gotten much worse. She put plugs in; sent her to another for some surgery, and prescribed expensive eye drops that do nothing and a pill that debilitates my mother! No communication to family ever!

Dr. Lepik worked a miracle on my eyesight. For 20 years I had a lazy eye that kept getting worse by the year. It got to the point I had to read, write, drive and virtually live with sight from only one eye. I could see with one eye or the other but not with both at the same time. Specialist after specialist examined me over the years and gave me the same disheartening prognosis: nothing could be done to help me because my case was too severe. I had given up hope. Then last winter while snow birding in Florida, I saw Dr. Linda for the first time to get my annual diabetes eye check up. Noticing my lazy eye she and her technician experimented with different combinations of prisms until they found the combination that brought my lazy eye back into coordination with the non-lazy eye and I see stereoscopically now!! Without my prism glasses, my lazy eye falls off 75 degrees to the side, but with my new special glasses on, my lazy eye doesn't fall off to the side. I can see normally… again. Thank you doctor Linda.
