"Dr. Miles was very nice. He explained everything. I feel confident with him doing my cataract surgery."
"Dr. Kellough was professional and friendly. She explained her findings in terms I could understand, and provided a verbal summary in my phone's notepad. I was told to expect a 2 to 3 hour visit but I was done in little over an hour."
"...I will be going back and getting rid of these cataracts so I can read once again. But if you have a chance to go to this specialist for eyes, I would go again and again."
"I was very satisfied by my experience with Dr. Lawing and the entire staff at North Florida Surgery. Every element of my visit was on-time and staff efficient as well as answering all my questions. Dr. Lawing explained everything about her examination and recommendations."
"Dr. Rachana Patel has been following my vision for the last several years. She and her Staff provide up to date testing, expert medical treatment, and compassionate care that I have deeply appreciated! I highly recommend Dr. Patel!"
"Doctor was the first person who explained details about cataracts and glaucoma for me and what future visits will entail. Thank you!!"
"Dr. Lawing is awesome!! She is very professional, kind and courteous. She is always smiling! You definitely can tell she loves her job!! She went over everything with me regarding my cataracts. Tony was also good! He was very kind as he checked out my eyes and explained what was wrong with my cataracts."

"Zero Regrets"
"I had cataract surgery and my surgeon implanted light adjustable lens replacements. I had some anxiety about choosing this newer technology and the high out of pocket cost as well as the post op visits to finalize my rx. I have had great results and have zero regrets. I really appreciate the detailed explanations and the generous time Dr Guier and his team take to educate and make me comfortable during my visits."
Dr. Kostick is the TOP surgeon in NE Florida!! His staff is professional, warm and friendly, and the entire experience over the past 10 months has been exceptional in every way! Even my family and close friends cannot identify the eye that had the melanoma surgery and eyelid skin replaced. Florida Eye Specialists are beyond superior in their performance and results!
I had a typical eye emergency and began calling several optometrists in Jacksonville. No one could squeeze me in. On my last call, the optometrist referred me to Dr. Patel and said he was an excellent eye doctor. Dr. Patel is thorough, and his staff is courteous and helpful. The eye issue was resolved and after leaving my appointment, I felt confident about switching my eye care over to him.
I have been wearing glasses since I was ten years old, and I now no longer require them for distance vision at all. I can see with greater clarity and brightness than I ever remember experiencing. This is like a miracle to me, and I am so grateful to have found Dr. Freidl and Florida Eye Specialists. They are devoted to patient care and well-being, and the results reflect that.
“Life-Changing Experience”
“The care at Florida Eye Specialists is just exceptional. They're so thorough, with detailed testing and measuring before surgery. They made me feel very at ease. I feel very blessed to have doctors like this available to me. Since surgery, my vision is the best it’s ever been. To wake up in the morning and not have to put my glasses on has been life-changing.”
Dr. Lott is wonderful. He listens to you and explains everything to you so that you completely understand. He shows kindness and caring and does not treat you as a number. I highly recommend Dr. Lott!
Dr. Hasan made me feel very comfortable and not a rushed patient. Dr. Hasan explained why I have dry eyes in detail with remedies to help me ease the pain. I have already recommended Dr. Hasan to my friend.
I love Dr. Freidl. She is thoughtful and communicative. She was my doctor for cataract surgery many years ago and now when I see her with my chronic dry she is amazing for recommendations of what to do. I highly recommend Dr. Freidl.
Dr. Chokshi incredibly resolved my inflammatory dry eye condition in ONE visit when another ophthalmologist in town had me spend several thousand dollars for a host of treatments over more than 6 months, which did not work. I am grateful for the referral to Dr.Chokshi.
Great visit. Dr. Miles explained the procedure in detail and answered my questions professionally. I have a good idea of how the procedure will work and feel comfortable in Dr. Miles' hands.
Dr. Guier was extremely pleasant, calm, and clear, I felt his check-up was very thorough and his instructions made sense and were easy to follow. I would certainly turn to him again in case of need.
I can’t say enough good stuff about Dr. Kostick. He explained to me things that no other Dr has gone that in-depth with me. I absolutely would highly recommend him. The staff was great also.
Dr. Chokshi successfully removed a pterygium on my eye. The initial visit, surgery, and follow-up post-op appointments were pleasant experiences. Yes, I’m including the surgery! The Mandarin office affords easy access, ample parking close to the door, and a smaller office with hospitable and efficient staff. Now that the eye has healed I am using Dr. Chokshi to remove my cataracts as well. I have full trust and confidence in his skills and staff to give me successful outcomes on these services as well. He comes highly recommended! 🙂
Dr. Freidl is an outstanding doctor. She recently did cataract surgery on both of my eyes, and the results have been amazing. I have been wearing glasses since I was ten years old, and I now no longer require them for distance vision at all. As an added benefit, I can see with greater clarity and brightness than I ever remember experiencing. This is like a miracle to me, and I am so grateful to have found Dr. Freidl and Florida Eye Specialists. Everyone I have dealt with there has been devoted to patient care and well-being, and the results reflect that.
The office staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like Dr. Hasan spent quality time with me and answered all my questions in great detail.
Dr. Koike is such a good doctor. Not only is he very competent and knowledgeable, but he is a wonderful & caring person. So glad I found him!
Dr. Hasan is courteous and extremely professional. He puts the patient at ease and clearly explains the upcoming procedure so that the patient is reassured that the outcome will provide the desired results..
Dr. Kostick is wonderful. I have Horner's Syndrome and he helped me to better understand my options moving forward with my eye care.
Dr. Riordan was very informative and diagnosed me with a condition other doctors failed to give me. I think the world of her.
Loved everyone! Professionalism was spot on. No sugar coating, but explained every little detail and answered every question with care and in a way that was easily understood. As for the level of patient care, was treated like a friend/family. I regard “patient advocacy” very highly when I meet with anyone in the medical field. I must say EVERY PERSON in that office took time, care, and patience in every sense of the way! Would highly recommend them! And…I can see!
Dr. Hasan and the staff are all very professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and take the time to listen to my questions and concerns, and answer them in a manner that I can easily understand. I highly recommend their practice and services.
Dr. Shetty has a rare and much-appreciated quality of being patient-centered. When he asks a question and/or seeks feedback he actually listens to the patient's response and seeks clarity as needed. All this and he is a highly respected physician.
Dr. Maier is knowledgeable, professional, and communicates well. The surgery went as described and my eyesight is clear and sharp. The staff at the surgery center were friendly and professional.
An outstanding young doctor with a fantastic attitude. One of the most comfortable procedures I have ever had… thanks to Dr. Miles.
I was very impressed with Dr. Koike. He was very professional and courteous in his manner and very thorough in the examination. I especially appreciated the way he took the time to explain certain points throughout the exam. I thought the staff was also very courteous and friendly and helpful.
Office staff friendly and efficient. Dr. G answers clearly and understandable. Getting ready to have my 2nd cataract and glaucoma surgery. Very nice bedside manner.
Dr. Shetty is very personable, caring and professional. He is a great diagnostician. I couldn't be more satisfied and am thrilled that he is now in Fernandina Beach.
Dr Kostick fixed my eyes with surgery in 2014. I had terrible uneven eyes because of Graves and Thyroid Eye disease. No one could figure out how he did it. I am so happy with results and will continue to see him and he will be the only doctor I allow to work on my eyes.
Dr. Chokshi is awesome and so is his staff. Thorough, knowledgeable, timely, professional and he is a good listener. Great bed-side manner. Last, I appreciate his sense of humor.
Dr. Freidl is absolutely The Very Best! She is my Glaucoma Guru, and I am both fortunate and grateful for her expert care.
Your beautiful Fernandina office, friendly staff, and Dr. Cowart are so very welcome on this island. Additional bonus for me, I can walk to my appointments!
Dr. Hasan is thorough, knowledgeable, friendly, and a true professional. I will stay with his practice until the end.
Dr. Riordan answers all my questions and goes over protocol instructions as many times as I need her to. I appreciate that she never seems rushed. I gave her five stars.
Ana has been outstanding in resolving some of my issues, very personal, hands-on and affirming.
Dr Lott is my MD Retina eye specialist. I trust him completely, he is warm welcoming yet gentle and confident. I trust him to stick a needle in my eye. I would recommend him to serve my mother or my wife, if needed.
If you had 10 stars or even 100 stars, that is how awesome I think Dr. Freidl is. I feel so blessed to have found her after some terrible experiences at other eye Doctor's. She has the best attitude, and is kind, and caring and definitely choose the right profession. The world needs more Doctor's just like Dr. Freidl. She definitely changed my life! Thank you today and everyday.
Not only was Dr. Koike reassuring when explaining the needed procedures, his office staff were very friendly and caring. Very professional, yet very calm and supportive.
Very friendly atmosphere on a day when office was considerably busy. Had a thorough visit from technicians and Dr. Patel. Glad I was referred to this group.
Dr. Hasan has always been very thorough and informative and takes the time to answer all questions even when he’s very busy.
My husband and I had an excellent annual visit with Dr. Hasan. He has a warm personality and clearly explained our exams. He and his staff were very professional and helpful.
Dr. Kostick was professional and thorough. I would highly recommend Dr. Kostick as well as Florida Eye Specialists to anyone.
Had a great experience at this appointment. Dr. Patel and his team saw me the same day as my reported concern/eye discomfort. I felt like everyone listened to my symptoms. After I followed his recommendation to stop the antibiotic drop a couple days early to alleviate eye dryness and to add a hypertonic saline drop, I felt so much better. I’m very grateful.
This was my first appointment with Dr. Hasan. I found him to be very knowledgeable and professional. He fully explained everything to me in a way that I understood. He was very nice and I am thankful to have him as my eye care doctor.
Dr. Hasan answered all my questions about cataract surgery options and eye health in general. Both surgeries went smoothly and I can see almost perfectly now without glasses for the first time in 25 years!
I went to Ana Greenberger at Skincare Specialists in Jacksonville, FL after my daughter went there for lip filler & had spectacular results. Was very impressed so I set up my own appointment & she did not disappoint. She took her time with me going over my options & even spelled out a couple of reasons why I might want to put off getting the lip filler done that particular day - something that very few people in her position would likely do. She made sure I was completely numb before she started & made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. She took her time & spent over an hour with me between Botox and filler injections. She was very personable & extremely informative & the results were amazing as I expected they would be. I will definitely be going back here next time I need any type of cosmetic facial work done.
My daughter saw Dr. Patel for a Retina issue. Wonderful staff and we were so grateful for the professional and thorough care from Dr. Patel.
Dr. Lott was a perfect choice for me because he is a retina specialist and I have had previous retina surgery. He is professional extremely knowledgeable, does not get in a hurry, and explains everything very calmly. His staff was very friendly and helpful as well. I feel very fortunate to have found him and highly recommend him.
Great practice! Dr. Kostick & the staff are very personable and caring. I was very at ease with my eye care being in their hands. I would absolutely recommend my family and friends to this practice without hesitation.
