Gulfcoast Eye Care

He has been fantastic with handling a jittery old man like me. And I know he knows his discipline well. Can't thank him enough!

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Sibley who misdiagnosed me with macular degeneration. I, too, went to a reputable eye clinic that examined me and stated there was nothing wrong with my eyes.

09/05/2019 Review Eye Assoc. of Pinellas Arrived 6:55am to 7am appointment. Checked in only 2 of us in wait room. 30 minutes later, I asked front desk clerk what was up with wait? Her response was abrupt a bit snarky stating I told you I was not sure if the Dr. accepted your Medical Insurance. No change in my insurance in over 10 years, they have billed and been paid thousands of dollars for my eye treatment since 2018. Not sure if it’s a tech problem, clearance issue or just a person problem. Honestly, after more and more people who arrived much later were called into office prior to me I was upset. So my rating for the medical staff, is 4 to 5 star, rating for their delivery system not so good -5 at least. I am writing this at 9:38am after 3 hrs. in the office for a very short eye injection treatment.

Not a good experience. I saw Dr. Sibley while he was in a Naples office in 2019. I must say the Naples staff was wonderful but Dr. Sibley was rude, inappropriate and completely missed my diagnosis of Retinoschisis. Dr. Sibley said the interior of my eye was totally healthy and I was just getting old. I am 56 and do not think that is old. He said my eyes were drying up just as my birthing canal. I was pretty ticked off after that comment. He had the nerve to ask, "are we still friends?" I just wanted out of the exam room as quick as possible. After follow up with a reputable ophthalmologist, who found the condition affecting my eye, I was able to get the assistance and care I needed. I was glad to hear Dr Sibley is no longer workin in the Naples area.

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Staff is very friendly.

Although waiting room wait was a little lengthy, remainder of appt. went well. Having seen Dr. Handza in the past, expect wonderful treatment and knowledgable diagnosis.

GREAT, everything went perfect.
