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.

Blunt trauma to right eye in pickle ball match. I called St. Lucie Eye, and was seen by Dr. Bondalapati. Staff, from telephone contact to exam with Dr. Bondolapati MD, (ophthalmologist) was professional, personable and caring. I was seen that morning. Problem was quickly diagnosed, treatment was initiated, and follow up scheduled. Next time I will wear safety glasses.

The best ever!
Thank you so much Dr. Bond.You're the most patient, consider it, caring and thoughtful doctor I have ever known. You're very thorough. And take all the time that your patient needs to feel comfortable, safe and secure. I see better now since you did surgery on both eyes that I have in 30 years. Thank you again so much!

First Visit Was Very Reassuring
I met Dr. Bondalapati for the first time as a new patient during an unplanned visit when I suddenly woke up at 4 AM with sharp pains stabbing my right eye. I had no idea what was going on as I had never felt that before. I was not supposed to have my new patient appointment at St. Lucie Eye until the following week. I had no idea what I should do so I called St. Lucie Eye for guidance. I am so thankful that they were able to work me in as an emergency.Her staff prepared me for consultation with her by taking photos, testing my vision, my eye pressures, and even doing an ultra sound on my eyeballs - something I had never had done before.I felt I was in good hands as Dr. Bondlapati, was dictating to her assistant as she was reading the results of my pictures on the computer screen and dictating her discoveries while examining my eyes with her lights and scopes.Dr. B was very personable and thorough doing my exam. Her manner put me at ease immediately. She explained that my eye had

Forever Grateful
Dr. Bondalapati saw me as a late, last minute Friday afternoon appointment as I was experiencing eye symptoms while visiting family in Florida. Her and her team treated me with great concern and care. After diagnosing me, she referred me to a retina specialist that evening as I was found to have multiple retinal tears and a detached retina. Her team spent time making calls and arranging my care. Dr. Bondalapati even called me a few days later to check in to see that I had gotten the care that I needed. Her concern for my well-being is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
