Dr. Victor B Thomas

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.

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) So happy I was referred to Dr. Victor B. Thomas for my eye problem.

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!

Great doc. Very kind and professional.

Dr. Thomas is amazing! He is very thorough, professional, and has great bedside manner. Scheduling isn’t difficult, office staff nice and the office is clean.

Dr. Thomas Is the best in town. He actually listens to your problems. He was happy to answer all my questions. He was always genuine, and I never felt rushed! Great expericece. I highly recommend. Great techs and great office staff too.

Dr. Thomas is top notch! Been seeing him for over 10 years now and would never think of trusting anyone else. He is part of a wonderful practice and the office staff always goes above and beyond what is needed. True customer service and always caring about my needs as a patient. I highly recommend you will not be disappointed!

I visited the MetroWest Facility, and was met with Dr. Thomas and his entire staff, who was very friendly, courteous, and very professional. For my very first visit there they make me feel right at home. Jeanette the office staff, a very warm and friendly young woman explained everything to me. Juan and Katherine the technicians were so exceptionally great at there respective tasks, while making me feel very comfortable. Dr. Thomas is very knowledge and knows how to interact with his patients.

I experienced some vision flashing and floaters over a weekend and Dr. THOMAS was the Dr. on call. He called me back immediately, listened to my concerns, put me at ease with what was happening and told me to come in the following day, Monday, before office hours so he could see me. Dr. THOMAS was not my regular eye doctor so I didn’t know what to expect. He was awesome. I saw him a second time a week later and received another exam and instructions for future issues. I could not be happier.

Dr Thomas is very professional. He explained everything carefully in order to make sure you understand what is going on with you. Office staff is friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend dr. Thomas. But I was disappointed when I checked out. I paid for the visit $20 in cash but I did not get any receipt. When I asked for, I got the answer that: “....... you paid in cash......” I was very surprised.

While Dr. Thomas is excellent his staff are frustrating to deal with. I requested medical records be sent by leaving messages 4 times, was never called back. This went on for over a month. All I wanted to do was get my medical records sent to a specialist. The staff claimed I never sent my release form in but I have the fax confirmation of having sent it in. I had to send the release form AGAIN! They assured me they would call to confirm receipt of the release form and instructions on where to send my records. They never did! Today, 6th phone call, the receptionist assures me her supervisor will take care of it, but it could take up to 48 hours. Again Dr. Thomas is excellent and I can highly recommend him as an opthamologist. If he can get some decent help this will be a top notch organization.

Now three hours post Chalazion removal surgery. I was pretty nervous about the process and made the mistake of reading a bunch of folks comment on it. Dr. Thomas was outstanding. Great bedside manner. Explained everything before and as he was doing it. Sensitive to not show any gruesome looking equipment. From cut to close 3min. Injxn was less painful than dentist numbing. The whole thing was painless and only min. uncomfortable fantastic and wouldn't hesitate to refer him to anyone
