Dr. Craig Munger, MD

I’m deeply disappointed with Dr. Munger’s care for my 84-year-old mother. After a successful entropion surgery in 2017 with another doctor at Kaufmann Eye Institute, we returned in January 2024 for a repeat procedure with Dr. Munger. He recommended surgery on both eyes, despite only one being problematic. By December 2024, my mother needed surgery again. The appointment involved over an hour of waiting, and Dr. Munger spent less than 10 minutes with us, offering little explanation. He also contradicted his assistant, who had stated my mother had received two sutures in the first surgery—despite Dr. Munger claiming she had not. My mother was charged over $2,000 for these sutures. Despite promises to follow up, we have heard nothing from his office. This lack of transparency, poor communication, and repeated surgeries are unacceptable. I strongly recommend finding another surgeon. Save your time, money, and peace of mind.

Fantastic doctor. Great bedside manner and surgically top notch. Recommend without reservation

We waited for 2.5 hours for Dr. Munger. We have seen many, many doctors in the last 6 months because admittedly, my husband's condition is complex. However, Dr. Munger did his exam and then pretty much brushed us off after the long wait and I had to pin him down and ask specifically what he found, what the diagnosis was, what the treatment options are, etc. He was just going to walk out. He seemed bothered by the questions. He sent my husband for special prism glasses and a field vision text. Never bothered to call with the results and that was over 3 weeks ago and we confirmed today, from the optometrist who prescribed the glasses, that he reviewed and entered a note of 'non-specific changes', which tells her, and us, nothing. From the insane wait, to the poor bedside manner, to the lack of follow through, I'd recommend finding another specialist.

Extremely pleased. Went in to remove moles on my face due to melanoma. Took 18 off and have not one scar. He is easy to work with and super professional. Would never use another surgeon. Made the mistake of using another plastics for another mole and the scar is 4x bigger than the mole was.

Staff will tell you that Dr. Munger is funny and fun to work with. I can see that. He is fun to work with because he has a passion for what he does. The meticulous surgeries that he does takes great skill and precision but he thinks it’s the fun part. The thing I like best after my upper and lower eyelid surgery is that I suddenly have “up” vision. I suddenly can see more ceiling and sky. Everyone tells me that I look much younger. Thank you Dr. Munger

Dr. Munger did a fantastic job correcting my drooping eyelids! He has a pleasant bedside manor as well. I would recommend him without reservation!

Excellent doctor. Spent time explaining the procedure (eyelid surgery) and recovery! Surgery went great! I can see again! Thank you Dr. Munger

Great surgical result. Very happy. He’s operated on about 8 of my friends and they’re all happy. 100% recommend

DO NOT USE DR. MUNGER. When I first came in to discuss getting upper blepharoplasty done on my eyelids I was told “3 weeks and you’ll be fine”. Here I am 4 months later having to pay more $$ for a revision surgery by another surgeon on top of the $3500 I paid for the original surgery done by Munger. NOT ONLY is his bedside manner horrible (comes in for 2 seconds after you wait there for at least 40 minutes.), NOT ONLY did he not take the proper time to go over important things with me such as aftercare or what to realistically expect, NOT ONLY is my left eyelid completely different than my right eyelid with incredibly obvious scars, but the last straw was when I went in 4 months later to express my unsatisfaction, he first tried telling me that he didn’t see the problem (issues were VERY obvious not only to me but friends and family as well). Then he tried making me feel like I was being nit picky (3 months before my wedding). THEN tried charging me $700 to fix it. GO TO SOMEONE ELSE.

Is there a ZERO rating? In 2016, on September 6th I had Ectropion surgery on both eyes. The left eye result was OK. The right eye ended up with the lower lid turned so far backwards, that the eyelashes were up against my eyeball. I am going to shorten this review up to mention that I have had to endure an additional five, (5) surgeries in an attempt to correct the first surgery. Surgeries were done on 2/7/17', 3/7/17',4/20/17', 5/16/17', completed by a well known, South Tampa eye surgeon. The last procedure was Cryosurgery completed at the VA Eye Clinic in Tampa in June of 2017. This Cryosurgery removed the five, (5) eyelashes that remained touching my eyeball. Everything I say here can be verified by receipts and photos that were taken daily to Document every issue, and surgery I had to endure because of Munger's surgery on 9/06/16'.

Upper eyelid surgery (tried to talk me into lower but I wasn't interested). Procedure was okay, but I now have a small knot and a bulging vein on my face next to my eye that formed after the surgery. Was told that it would go away, but it has been almost a year and it is still here.

HORRIBLE!! Didn't explain anything. Did upper eyelid surgery, which was not necessary. Tried to talk me into lower lids, but didn't explain why. Later found out it would have been just cosmetic surgery-another way for him to make money. Just found out he is leaving the practice-DUH!

Dr Munger suggested I have upper eye lid lift for potential vision problems.Among worst decisions of my life. Procedure was a year ago February and am still recovering. Left lid was cut too low leaving an indentation on side of eye. Right lid cut like a snake and too high and now has cyst at end of incision. consulted w several specialist to try to have corrected and will need reconstruction surgery. May be excellent eye doc but not a plastic surgeon. Would never recommend for eye lid surgery.

Dr. Munger was great, saw my issue and started the process to resolve it.

Trauma Cataract. Been blind for 10 years. Couldn't find a doctor that accepted staywell insurance.

Everyone in the office was very kind. I feel I received a thorough evaluation. Dr. Monger was a good listener. I would recommend him to other patients

Dr. Munger, did my eyelid surgery. I couldn't be more happier with the outcome, my vision has improved. He and his staff for highly qualified, highly trained, highly professional! Thank you, Dr. Munger! Darlene W Tampa, Fla

Mr. Munger calls his patients by their names. He takes the time to actually talk to you. Very good surgeon, my eyelids are more pronounced.

Dr. Munger did my upper lids and this has improved my eyesight which allows me to read books for more than 30 minutes and watch a full movie without falling asleep. So life changing! His staff was very supportive and caring I can only say that you should see Dr. Munger and know you will be so well cared for and your results will change your life as they did mine.

Dr. Munger has great bedside manner and was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Loved his staff as well.
