I am very grateful for the entire staff at Florida Retina Institute that repaired my eye. I can’t thank the Doctor and staff enough for the professional care that I received.

I felt I gained more knowledge in this one appointment than in the last 5 years of going to other eye doctors in The Villages. Thank you!

Dr. Mavrofrides took time to explain my condition and that I should not be scared, but keep an eye on things if they change and to call.

A. Lady Lake, December 2019

Both my wife and I were very impressed by how we were treated and the amount of information we were given about my vision problems.
