Victor B. Thomas's Online Review Report Card

Thomas diagnosed me with dry macular degeneration. A doctor at Florida Eye Clinic said he was wrong. I did not have macular degeneration. Stay away!

Visited numerous ophthalmologists in Central Fl who did not have the knowledge to treat dry/irritated eye syndrome. Discovered Dr. Thomas and Dr. Auerbach at Eye Physicians of Central Florida are empathetic, expert in this area. They have the means to test, measure and the ability to treat dry eye. I did not have severe issue, but, daily discomfort until their treatment. Dr. Thomas suggested I be tested for allergies, food intolerances (an allergist discovered the root cause). Dr. Thomas insisted I maintain daily eyelid cleaning, which eliminated inflammation, and has treated (now v. rare) bouts of more severe symptoms. He changed my life. I no longer have irritated, bloodshot eyes. The practice is busy, but v. professional. Grateful!

He was recommended to me and I went to see him for an initial appointment. I found him arrogant and condescending to the point I had to walk out.

Have been examined by Dr. Victor Thomas yearly for the past 7 years. Wait times are between 25 and 45 minutes. This doctor is extremely busy and always in "hyper" mode, providing less and less time for questions and the patient. He is not looking at you when answering questions but typing the visits results, thus not providing proper answers. If a question is asked that he thinks is not "intelligent", he'll look at you with a "smart" (not friendly) remark. Unfortunately, I'll will search for another Ophthalmologist.

If you have any other competent eye physicians in your network, I would investigate using them instead of Dr. Thomas and Eye Physicians of Central Florida. While Dr. Thomas may be competent, his office staff is extremely problematic. Here are a couple of the most serious issues I ran in to during my treatment for cataracts in both eyes. They initially told me they would use an ambulatory surgery center for my surgeries. They quoted me a physician fee and provided an estimate of what the ambulatory surgery center would charge. After I agreed to move forward with the surgery, they told me that it would have to be performed in a hospital for double the price of the ambulatory care center. Several weeks after the cataract in my left eye was removed, I received a bill for Dr. Thomas services that was more than 30% higher than the price quoted. There is a lot more I could complain about but with these specific examples, you have been forewarned.

Visit was very professional and friendly with a minimal wait. I was brought to a room immediately. The technician and Dr. Thomas did a great job.

Waited 90 mins after my eyes were dilated for Dr. Thomas to see me. I was in the office on time and was there a total of 2 1/2 hours for a routine check up! He finally came in and spent approx 5 minutes with me and did not not communicate with me the difference in my new glasses prescription from my previous year. Was rude and rushed me thru! Not very professional in the fact that I waited so long to be rushed! Will not be returning to him! Very arrogant when approached about my issue. I work in the medical field myself, and find this very unprofessional.... too many other great doctors in the area to give him my business! Also, good luck with the Doctors office. Wait time when calling is over 30 minutes!

Wait times at Metrowest location can be challenging, but Dr. Thomas is kind, patient, and listens and explains very well.

So happy I was referred to Dr. Victor B. Thomas for my eye problem. Dr. Thomas is very knowledgeable and through explaining every part of your eye exam to resolve your eye care issues. In my case he delicately removed a tiny foreign object that was causing my eye to be red with some pain and blurred vision. Dr. Thomas was very impressive to remove such a small object with precision. This alone made my day and was blessed to find a great eye care doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas for you eye care needs. He has a friendly attitude and is a no nonsense person. He will follow up if needed to be sure your eye/eyes are in good health. I give Dr. Victor B. Thomas my 5 Coconuts! Thank you Dr. Thomas. Ron Ajemian (Coconut Ron)
