Robert S. Gold's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Robert Gold is a friendly, caring, and empathic ophthalmologist in the Orlando area. He took care of my daughter’s eye surgery needs and doubtlessly did a great job. Most importantly, he took all fears away from the teenager’s mind to get her to the surgery table by creating a rapport through talking to her on her level. Great skills as a person and as a physician. Big kudos to Dr. Gold and his team 👏👏👏

Over the last few years, I have taken my son with special needs to several different eye doctors to try to figure out what is up with his eyes. Each doctor provided a different diagnosis with a completely different solution - including invasive eye drops, patching and surgery. I never felt comfortable with any of the exams, as my son is fairly difficult to communicate with, so I kept searching for answers while his eyes worsened. I was nervous to go to Dr. Gold because of the negative reviews, but I was beyond impressed with our visit. He was very comfortable and patient with my son and for the first time ever, I felt confident he got a good reading during the exam. This is our 3rd pair of glasses, and the only ones my son has ever worn - so they actually work. Thanks Dr. Gold.

What a difference it makes to have normal vision again! I should've done it years ago. All went smoothly the day of the surgery and the recovery was just as stated - not bad at all. If I have one message it's this: listen to Dr. Gold. He knows what he's talking about.

My daughter has been a patient of Dr Gold since she was a child and she continues to see him as a young adult. Her eye condition is a bit complicated and it took a few tries to find someone that could understand it. Not only did Dr Gold figure out how to address it, but he has also patiently explained the situation to us over the years. He has also performed two successful operations to correct her alignment. I am exceptionally grateful to Dr Gold for many years of wonderful care for my daughter!

I am a 62-year-old female and my right eye started to cross. it had gotten so bad I couldn't drive anymore due to double vision as well. My eye doctor referred me to Dr. Gold at Eye Physicians of Central Florida. The Doctor and staff were very nice and professional I am now able to see and drive again with very little down time. I want to thank them all and would highly recommend them. Thanks again Dr. Gold.

Worst Eye doctor I could find. My son had a clogged tear duct , they explained he needed surgery I followed through and put my trust in this location. After surgery was preformed the problem to this day has not been resolved looking for other options. In my opinion DONT WASTE YOUR TIME !

I went to Dr. Gold when I was younger. He was the most disrespectful ophthalmologist I had ever visited and definitely has some type of narcissist personality or sociopathic disorder. Since when is yelling at my parents and at me normal behavior in a clinical practice? He does not even know the fundamentals principles of patient care and bed side manners. He mocked my parents and had no patience when examining me for my eye health needs. STAY AWAY from him. He is only concerned about the pocket change from your appointments not about your eye health care needs.

I have never had an issue with Dr Gold as I think he is amazing, especially with children. However, I tried calling today, starting at 4:03pm to make my daughter an appointment. The hours clearly state 8:00-5:00 so when I called, the first 6x I was picked up and hung up on after going through the messages and prompts. It was only giving me the option to press 1 for emergency and if you wait and don't press 1 to see if it will give you a different option, it will just hang up on you so I called again and pressed 1 for emergency just to get someone on the phone smh so the gentlemen that answered was very rude and said "thats the message you will continue to get because they are closed" I said well the website says you do not close until 5pm, his reply was "well that is incorrect, scheduling closes at 4" so maybe you should update your google listing to reflect this and have a better phone system and more professional people answering the phone. My daughter has been with Dr.Gold since she's been 4 so I am going to try one more time on Monday.....

Dr. Gold is highly knowledgeable, extremely skilled and very kind. My family is forever grateful to him and his staff for their care. Dr. Anthony is also very knowledgeable and helpful. I am so thankful that this place was recommended to us. They have all done a tremendous job! Thank you all!

Dr. Gold and his staff are excellent! My son felt comfortable and they were so patient with him when he was upset by the evil drops. I’m so impressed by the protocol they follow to keep everyone safe during this time. I so appreciate their efforts!!
