I worried for a year about a diagnosis. Made an appointment to see Dr. Mavrofrides for a second opinion. Wow. The entire staff was so friendly. There was no wait time. My exam was thorough and I received reassurance on my condition, without feeling rushed. I highly recommend Florida Retina Institute.

I've been seeing Dr. Elias Mavrofrides for almost 5 yrs for a rare autoimmune condition. Most physicians have never heard of what I have but Dr. Mavrofrides recognized it early on and has kept my vision stable. He goes above and beyond to ensure you receive the best care, even from your other drs, making sure everyone is doing everything possible. He strives to alleviate your anxiety and considers your comfort zone when it comes to treatment. I'm amazed everything he says and does always turns out to be the exact right thing. He's truly remarkable and he is the only Retina Specialist I would trust with my eyes.

Dora Google Review, December 2020

Excellent care by Dr. Mav and his staff. From the front desk staff, specially Curtis, to the time they take you to check your eye pressure, Alex, to take the pictures, Tim, and then to see Dr. Mav and his assistants, you feel safe and comfortable. Really recommend Dr. Mav, and the whole staff and physicians at Florida Retina Institute.

Nathalie Google Review, December 2020

Dr. Mavrofrides and his staff continually provide caring and excellent service. Dr. Mavrofrides is a gifted retina specialist who has helped guide me through difficult situations such as a retina detachment, surgeries and regular care. He provides the best in retina care. Highly recommend Dr. Mavrofrides and Florida Retina Institute.

Mark Google Review, December 2020

All the Staff are very professional caring about their patients especially Dr. Mavs. He is excellent took the time to explain everything we are suppose to know about my condition and further follow-up care and reassuring me that my right eye is in good shape. He had the diagnosis established and admitted that not much he can do at this time, but he agreed with me a miracle can happen as there is nothing impossible with God If He wills it. Thank you all and will see you next year.
