Dr Rena is the one to see. Listens and explains problems and procedures. On time appointments in two locations which is a plus.

I was extremely please with the service that I received from St Lucie Eye. I like the way I was treated by the staff. Everything was fantastic from the eye exam to ordering glasses.

Dr. Rana and his entire staff are highly competent, patient, friendly and caring. I have dry eyes and it's tough to check my vision, they stuck with me multiple times until they were sure that it was tha best possible outcome. I also purchased a pair of transition, active wear glasses, Eileen in optical was helpful, knowledgeable and patient with me until I was satisfied. The discount for their patients made this purchase very competitively priced. I recommend this practice and optical department to everyone!

Love Dr Rana very good and professional. Had cataract surgery did a great job. Also time saw Dr Karli as they fit me in for same day appointment. She is also very good. The fact that the surgery center is next door to the Port St Lucie office is was very convenient for me as I live close by

First time coming here, the doctor was great but the front office service was terrible. While filling all the paperwork, I noticed that one of the forms said that they matched 1800 contacts prices so when it was my turn to purchase glasses I told the person in charge of selling you glasses/contacts about they matching prices, to start she didn't even know about this, so she had to run out back and ask if what I was saying was true. 5 minutes later she returned and confirmed that what I was saying was correct and that they would match 1800 contacts prices, so I tried to purchase 180 days worth of contacts with my insurance allowance and pay the difference out of my pocket since my allowance did not cover 180 days worth of contacts, that's when she told me that for them to match 1800 contacts price I would have to pay the whole thing out of pocket and that I couldn't use my allowance. I'm very disappointed with this place. I will not be returning and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The office looks old and outdated as well.

It was my first time with Dr. Karli and the staff at St. Lucie Cataract Center. What a wonderful experience. Doctor is amazing, thorough, very gentle and kind. Every member of staff that helped me was superior, so very good at all they do. It's such a relaxed environment there, while also being extremely professional and proficient. I'm so happy I went there. Years ago, Dr. Langley was my doctor. I always appreciated his wonderful manner of putting me at ease as he took care of me with the utmost of professionalism. I look forward to my next appointment!

I have eye issues and have gone to St. Lucie Eye for 12 years. I have been very pleased. I had cataract surgery in both eyes, one with Dr. Channing and one with Dr. Rana. I really like the staff there and have good results.

Update May 18th - great experience with entire staff for cataract surgery. Very professional, comforting and sense of humor. DR Rana is a perfectionist focused on an excellent outcome for the patient. Thank you. ------ My experiences so far with Mary Beth, Karina, Dr Rana and other staff members have been excellent. I ask a lot of questions and get thorough answers from the team. I would recommend St Lucie Eye to anyone looking for a a great practice.

St Lucie Eye is great. From scheduling to registration to the technicians and finally down to the doctor, the practice as a whole is excellent. Dr Karli was exceptional, I was diagnosed with ocular hypertension so understandably I was very nervous but Dr Karli assured me not to worry and that we would take care of this problem and not ro loose sleep over it. All in all I think she is a wonderful young doctor and has an amazing future in front of her

Dr. Rana may be the best eye doctor in the world. Unfortunately I never had the chance to find out. My appointment was at 10:15. At about 10:30 his assistant began to check my eyes prior to my seeing Dr. Rana. At 10:55PM she put me in a room after she was finished. At 11:35 the able assistant told me Dr. Rana would be right with me within 15 minutes and apologized. at 11:55 I left as this is ridiculous. If anyone is expecting on time good service from a Doctor, then Dr. Rana is not that person.

I would trust any of the Doctor's there for any of my eye needs. Definitely referred many friends and family and have no issues at all. Staff are all pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Availability of ordering contacts and glasses without going to another place is another huge plus. I know many people who have had surgery and the out come me has been great! I have had some minor procedures myself and would not consider going anywhere else!

The staff are all very courteous, I've been going to St. Lucie Eye for the last 25 years since I moved to Florida, I'd highly recommend their practice. All the girls are such sweethearts. I've seen 2 of the Drs and both were personable and helpful.

My name is Barry Cohen and I had my cataracts surgery on both eyes performed at Saint Lucie Eye Associates. I am sorry to say that for me it was a horrible experience! My original doctor there and the doctor that did my cataracts surgery on both eyes was Dr Derek Ohlstein. Since I make my living online I paid many thousands of dollars extra on top of the regular surgery cost to have multi-focal lenses implanted into my eyes because I was assured by Dr Ohlstein that with these lenses I would be able to see well at both distances for driving while also being able to read normal small type fonts both online and in reading materials such as in books, magazines and on labels.

All Without Glasses! This is the bottom line! During the surgery the FEMTO laser that they used to cut loose my eyes lenses, misfired or was not set properly as it left my right eye with a permanent blur spot in my field of vision. Also both implant lenses were the wrong prescription because I now have to wear glasses all of the time to be able to read normal small print both online, while reading books, magazines and on labels.

I can see distances ok but its even better with the glasses on. Dr Channon the senior doctor took over and tried what I feel was his absolute best to improve my vision with stents and a YAG laser surgery. I appreciate Dr Channon's attempts to help better my vision but it simply did not help. This is when the practice gave me a pair of glasses and told me that this is the best they could do.

They also offered me $1,600.00 back that equaled the cost of the screwed up FEMTO laser treatment for one eye! (My Right Eye) However they said that if I accepted the money I would have to sign Hold Harmless agreements and a Disparagement release so I could not litigate Saint Lucie Eye Associates or tell this story! Needless to say I refused the money!

I am now left with poor vision that impairs my ability to work online and often gives me headaches because its still a strain to read even with the glasses on. No amount of money can buy back my now screwed up vision and how my ongoing poor vision makes me feel every single day! These are the reasons I am not happy with my experience with Saint Lucie Eye Associates.

Worst company ever don't not go there.don't keep appointment. No communication between the two locations. Willing to let business walk out the door rude and unwilling to help. Total joke.

The doctors and staff at St Lucie Eye are competent, professional and understanding. I've been a patient for 20+ yrs and referring friends and family along the way. They offer one stop shopping with an optical department as well!

I have been going to St Lucie Eye Associates for 25 years. They are all great doctors and their staff is very nice. Both of my parents had their cataract surgery done there and it was a huge sucess for them both. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Debbie

Dr. Channon just removed cataracts in both eyes and what a difference it made. Dr. Channon is highly professional and cares about his patients. His office staff is professional and most helpful. Special shout out to Candy who does his scheduling. I would and will recommend Dr. Channon to anyone needing this surgery.
