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.

I had upper eyelid surgery by Dr Older 3 weeks ago. I could not be happier with the results. After a long consideration whether or not to have the procedure, I was put to ease by the professional manner and skill level of Dr. Older. He has a wonderful staff, and the surgery center was excellent. I highly recommend Dr. Older.

From the first visit, I was impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, and enthusiasm of Dr. Older and his staff. They easily accommodated my need for changing the surgery date, and when the surgery took place, I was taken with how easy it went. Dr. Older prepared me well for the recovery, and I experienced little discomfort. As time went forward, I realized how my vision improved, finally without the obstruction I had before the surgery. I am now nearly healed, and owe the Eyelid Institute a debt of gratitude. Their work has changed my life.

I was tired of being asked if I was tired. My eyes were looking baggy. I visited Dr. Older and he assured that he could help. I had a lower lid surgery and am extremely happy with the final results !

I had eyelid surgery on 12/14/10 with Dr. Older. Prior to, I was fully made aware of the procedure; during the surgery I was relaxed, knowing I was in his very capable hands and very happy that night when he called me personally to see how I was. His staff is a reflection of his caring and expertise. I had what I thought was an emergency; they took me without appointment and saw me asap. Dr. Older actually drove from St. Pete to Tampa to take care of me! This man cares about his patients

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Older. My surgery went like clock work. I am very pleased with the outcome. The staff in the office is very nice. The use of a particular surgery center that he suggested was excellent. The team at the surgery center worked like a team should work. Dr. Older called me that night to check on me. As a nurse, I can be critical of care. The care that I received was excellent.

If I can rate him zero stars I would. His office manager Jennifer is very rude. The doctor is old and has bad judgment and he should probably retire. Please Do not visit this Doctor because he Is just profiting and does not care about patient care.

USF sent me to Dr. Older when Dr. Slonim went to VA. This was not a "willing" transfer for me but Dr. Older was great. Surgery was carefully described and well performed. I certainly would recommend him to anyone with eyelid problems.

Two surgeons were recommended by my regular ophthalmologist, and several other surgeons by friends. After doing some research I narrowed my search to two surgeons. I chose Dr. Older because of his impeccable credentials, training, experience, and continued educational involvement in the field. I liked his bedside manner, personal attention, explanations of what to expect, and his involving me in decision making. His staff were courteous, professional, efficient, and caring.
