SMILE Surgery
SMILE Surgery is a flapfree laser vision correction that reshapes the cornea for clear sight. It is ideal for patients seeking a quick, safe procedure with minimal recovery time. Our experienced surgeons use stateoftheart technology to deliver precise, lasting results.
LASIK
LASIK uses a laser to reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Patients benefit from rapid visual improvement and minimal discomfort during recovery. Our certified surgeons ensure meticulous precision and individualized care for optimal outcomes.

Report
Gave review for a wrong office. Scheduling took 2 days, 1. I was told office does not accept my insurance then they called back saying they do, confusing, they are not in network but then they are? I took a child with me, 2 appointments at the same time. Doctor was asking me about decisions I'm against. Very pushy office, not a great in respecting your decision. Was leaving when staff made very uncomfortable, laughing and looking my way. Never gave me diagnosis, but told me my insurance would not cover procedure for dry eye, so I have dry eye? very unprofessional, would not recommend.

The Doctors are wonderful and the entire staff is very nice and efficient. I have never had to wait very long for my appointment. The waiting room and all the exam rooms are very clean and organized. I recommend Gulfcoast Eye Care to anyone needing eye care.

I am a patient now for just over a year. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Easy to set up and change an appointment if necessary. You can actually do a good bit of your paperwork prior to your first appointment to save time. I've seen both Drs and they are thorough and courteous and take the time to explain any concerns you may have. I'm very happy to have found them.
