If getting an eye exam feels like the Ludovico Experiment is being done to you, it’s best to go an optometrist who has a large percentage of pediatric patients! I found Dr. Castellano through my insurance company’s website for convenient location to me in Miami Lakes, and was able to set up a Saturday appointment.(Actually 2, since I couldn’t get do the dilation on my first visit.) Both times, her and her staff were pleasant including breaking my appointment into two visits. Dr. Castellano is knowledgeable, taking the time to go over the procedure and why the(torturous to yours truly) different drops and gyrations to my eye are necessary. Her staff was also helpful in picking out glasses, including the option to combine a different lens and frame combination. As mentioned, a lot of her patients are of the pint-sized variety, which gives her a great attitude in examining a «30-plus year old» not fond of stuff near his eye. great chairside manner! The office itself is decorated white and minimalist and the equipment seems well maintained. There’s parking under the first floor, as well as nearby street parking. I can see clearly now, the drops are gone!
