“Very satisfied Ocala Eye patient for twenty years!”
After twenty years of patient care at Ocala Eye, I was referred to Dr. Samy for newly diagnosed AMD by Dr. Polack. My experience of professionalism and expertise continues with Dr. Samy. He is very kind, thorough and thoughtful along with his knowledge within his specialty. I am very pleased with his care and feel fortunate to have been a patient of Ocala Eye during the twenty years. Thank you Dr. Samy for your assistance and continual care.

“First Visit/Consultation/Exam”
It is always a pleasure to be greeted and handled by the staff at Ocala Eye. This was my first appointment with Dr. Samy and he conducted the entire examination with professionalism and thoroughness. He also explained everything that he did, and took time post-exam to ensure I understood everything that he encountered and steps to be taken to improve my eye health.

“Dr Samy is a great doctor”
I have been going to Dr. Samy for four years. Having macular degeneration is upsetting and stressful. The treatment and care given over the years has made me very happy. His treatments have resulted in no shots in a year now. I do not have words to thank him enough.
