I have never had such a thorough eye exam! The staff here are so professional, and Dr. Rodriguez is fabulous! Kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable about her field of Medicine. I couldn't recommend Elmquist Eye Group more!

New patient here! Dr. Rodriguez was great, and her staff were friendly and efficient (hard to find in healthcare). No complaints here - I highly recommend them if you are a diabetic, they ensure your eyes are staying healthy and strong.

I was very please with Dr Wagner and her staff. Not only did they do a great job, but I was able to get in and out in record time to enable me to get to my next appointment ahead of time!

Very disappointing experience today! I have been a patient of this office ever since we moved to Cape Coral (9 years). I lost one of the plastic lens in my glasses after the screw came undone. I was told by the optician on location that replacement lens would cost $900.00 JUST for the lens. Today I had an full eye exam and the Ophthalmologists said there was little change in my eyesight from my last exam.
When I went to this same optician on location she said there was a significant change in my prescription (10 minutes after I saw the Ophthalmologist ). Now I'm questioning if I wasted a 2 hour visit because I have no confidence as to which prescription is correct, OR is this an attempt to get me to purchase new lenses by the optician? If the lens cost $900.00 I can speculate with new frames the cost would be in the range of $1,500.00. Post note: Don't believe their response below. There was no confusion. They screwed up and their prices were outrageous! I'll never go back!
