I was impressed with the friendly, competent staff, the ease of moving patients from the waiting room to the exam room. I heard no complaints from other patients waiting their turn.

Martha E. Lake Mary, July 2019

Dr. Mav was very thorough on explaining the varied conditions I am dealing with and how they can be treated with their diagnosis. I feel very confident that I am at the best Retina Institute for my future treatment needs.

Abernathy Lady Lake, June 2019

Greeted by Curtis who is vry friendly and welcoming. He made me feel so comfortable as a new patient. All of their staff is also friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Mavrofrides is the most amazing Doctor that I have ever met. I would recommend this office to everyone. Dr. Mavrofrides is an outstanding Doctor.

Cruz V. Orlando, June 2019

The staff was very friendly and professional. The Doctor explained everything in detail and gave his plan of action.

Wendy I. Lake Mary, June 2019

Curtis at the reception area was very helpful. Martha, the nurse who did my initial testing, was very helpful as well. Dr. Mavrofrides and the young technician who did impressions of my eyes, were very clear over procedures and results.
