Excellent staff, very professional from beginning to end of my appointment. Everyone was friendly and understanding. Very pleased with the assistant that dilated my eyes and prepped me for my doctor exam. Dr V has a very calm quieShow moret demeanor and explained everything about my eye condition and the effects of diabetes, gave me encouraging words to go forward in the battle against diabetes to protect my eyes and retain my vision. I felt very comfortable with the staff and the doctor and went out of your office today. Feeling very relieved that he's going to repair the problem in my right eye with my retina and the encouraging words he gave me for the Jim, that I'm working out and the diet that I'm using and to keep doing. What I'm doing. It made me feel good about my progress. I'm so glad I had this visit with this team today. I won't go anywhere else. I had a doctor who was very educated as my Dad in my family. So I know what professional treatment is like. Great job today by all involved with my appointment at atlantic retina consultants.
I routinely consult with Dr. Vaishnav for my eye health care and have greatly benefited from the consultation he provides based on specific tests and results. Dr. Vaishnav and his team work together to provide excellent care for mShow morey vision. They work with great patience and diligence. The new office in Melbourne is coming together with continuous improvements. Dr. Vaishnav’s speciality is challenging area of vision care and they are working hard to bring on board qualified professionals to add to their team. This, I hope, will help reduce wait time in the lobby area. I would continue to seek the quality treatment options with Dr. Vaishnav and I have believed that the wait time in the lobby area is worth the high quality treatment and care offered to me.

Great people and Dr. Takes time to listen and answer questions.
I have been a patient for 10 years now which included cataract surgery. Dr. Vaishnov has monitored me every year. He is thorough and carefully explains his findings. I wouldn't have my eye care done anywhere else.
No problems with my visit.
