Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

3 hour waiting time
Magruder eye clinic in Winter Park is one office to avoid if you have eye problems.These people triple book at same appointment time and staff is extremely overworked and just rude.My husband had his eye surgery at this location and wanted to stay with same Doctor Bennecke but the wait time is unacceptable, usually between 2-4 hours and the staff, especially Carla, Dr Benneckes office help is just simply rude and somewhat was prepared for my question ' why does it always take 2-3 hours just to see the doctor'. She replied ' would you like to reschedule ( after already waiting 2.5 hours). We decided, after three times being handled this way, to go to another doctor. The office is being remolded and it is just getting too big and out of control for this reason I would assume.

Perfect doctors, techs, and office staff. Dr. Magruder is expert, personable, honest, thorough, has the latest training, the best equipment, oustanding support staff. In contrast to some other ophthalmologists, he monitors quickly after cataract surgery. In my case, this was crucial, because I had a rare side effect response to steroid , and was promptly treated. Consulted with four cataract surgeons. All said I would need glasses for either distance or reading. Dr. Magruder suspected I would as well. A Lasik tweak made vision perfectly balanced, even crisper. Neighbors, friends and I recommend him without reserve.

I had been considering laser vision for several years but had always been told I would not be a candidate because of how poor my vision was (-12.5 contacts) and that I wore contacts for a few decades daily. Upon the suggestion of a friend who had recently had her done, I went in for the free consultation at Magruder Laser Vision. They spent a great deal of time testing my eyes and answering any questions. They didn't make any promises before I left after the consultation, they reviewed as a team, to determine if I would be a successful candidate. When it was determined I would be, they called back and set up the surgery. Surgery day was a breeze, they took amazing care of me. I was home within a few hours and after a nap, I woke up to nearly clear perfect vision. I was working from home that afternoon and in work the next day. My vision now, 3 months later? Well, its 20/15 and its nice to go to the beach, pool, gym, roller coasters, rainy days, and so on without thinking about my conta

I'm coming up on the two year anniversary of my LASIK procedure and I can say without hesitation that it's the best thing I've ever done for myself! I started wearing glasses when I was eight years old and then switched to contacts at twelve. Due to my high prescription and astigmatism, I was always told that I wasn't a candidate for vision correction. Once a friend told me that technology had drastically changed and now I might be able to have it done, I booked a consultation with multiple LASIK facilities in Central Florida to check them all out. Magruder Laser Vision won hands down! Their office was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly and helpful. And then there's Dr. Magruder, he's just the BEST! He took the time to meet with me during my free consultation and answer all of the questions and concerns I could think of. I left that day feeling empowered with knowledge. As for my surgery itself, it was quick and painless. Dr. Magruder talked to me throughout the procedure and ma

I made an appointment to see Dr. Magruder for laser treatment. I saw two different staff members and the last one told me that I was not a candidate for laser treatment. This was her opinion and I would not see Dr. Magruder. Wasted my time, my insurance paid for an office visit (didn't get to see the doctor) and I will not recommend Dr. Magruder since I was not given the opportunity to see him.
