By far the most impressivve Medical Office, Staff and Physician I have experienced in Florida! At 76 years that is extraordinary! They were not only very welcoming and friendly, they were extremely thorough, efficient and willing to inform me of each procedures every step of the way. Scheduling was a breeze and Dr Pautlier telephoned, after my appointment, to follow up with additional & important information. And to top it all off, they provided a pharmacy discount for my prescription! I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Scott Pautler and Retina Vitreous Associates of Florida!

I had an emergency eye problem and contacted his office and was able to be seen that day and many more after my initial visit. I cannot say enough of how polite, caring and efficient he and his other office in Clearway were to me during this difficult time with my eye. I just wish many more doctors were as kind as he and his staff are to patients. Please pass on my pleasure of visiting the other office in clearway and again the doctor was so great, polite, and caring and accommodating to me. Thank you all and if I ever need help again you and your offices would be contacted. Thanks so much

In my many years with serious retina problems, Dr. Pautler is clearly the best retina specialist I have ever met. His meticulous treatment of my issues has helped me tremendously.

I have been a patient of Dr Pautler for over three years and continue to be both pleased and amazed by his professionalism, knowledge, skills, and sincere care. His staff is truly exceptional - always remembering my name and efficiently and professionally providing care. Although I have moved from Tampa, I continue to travel to Tampa for Dr Pautler's care and would not consider transferring my care to anyone else.

Dr. Pautler is a thorough Doctor. Because of a certain eye condition my husband has, we had to go to other specialist. Each specialist told us they agreed with Dr. Pautlers diagnosis, and have always trusted in his knowledge.
