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.

My mom was told that she was developing cataracts and went to Dr. Villani's office. I accompanied her for every single consultation (including surgery at an outpatient facility). I can only say that Dr. Villani is extremely personable, down-to-earth, well mannered, respectful and knowledgeable. He was straightforward in his consultations and did not try to upsell my mom on getting lenses she did not need. His staff is also great. Efficient, kind and excellent! Highly recommended!

I had cataract surgery in first one eye and the second 3 weeks later. Working with Dr Villani was reassuring and comfortable. And everything went very well from the office experience through the surgery and after care. I felt I was in very good hands with his expertise and communication. I had postponed the surgery and was hesitant because of thinking of eye surgery. I did not realize how bad my eye sight was until after surgery when everything was bright and clear and colorful. I would highly recommend cataract surgery with DR. Villani. It will give you a new lease on life.

Dr. Luis A. Villani, M.D. is an outstanding eyecare professional, most knowledgeable and courteous. Dr. Villani performed cataract surgery on my right eye on September 17, 2020. He was most attentive to the surgical procedure and his after all care has been most prompt and courteous. His knowledge of the procedures and continuing care of my ophthalmology, diseases, and care of my eyes, are truly outstanding. Sincerely, Luciano Isla, Esq. 10/15/2020

My eyes are inflamed, and I had an eye issue years ago when I went to this practice. The doctor I used has since retired, but I decided to go back to Mount Sinai where all my doctors are. Dr. Villani was nice and I initially liked him, however, the medicine he prescribed me after several days did not work. I contacted his after hours service on Saturday at 5pm and he didn't call me back. I called the next day at 10am. He was actually transferred in. He told me he couldn't access my records and to come in again on Monday. Why even have an after hours service? I was in shock that it's almost 2021 and all my other docs have electronic records. Also, he couldn't even see my last visit's doctor notes because those are stored in a warehouse after 3 years and it's been about 3.5 years since the last issue I had where this ointment didn't work for that issue. The staff that I spoke to on the phone are all morons and wasted my time. Go somewhere where they care about their patients.

I would like to highly recommend Dr. Luis Villani in Miami Beach to anyone considering cataract surgery. I visited him a few days ago for my annual checkup and my eye conditions were found to be excellent. The operations in 2015 removed cataracts and installed lenses. The results were excellent long range vision and the possibility of reading hand-held documents without glasses.
