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.

Best Retina Doctor!
I went to Dr. Allison and I could see nothing. Zip. Two weeks now after surgery, I have all my vision back. Thank you Dr. Allison. I was so scared and now I can get back to my life. Anyone looking for a fantastic human being and doctor cannot go wrong with this man. Feel blessed and lucky.

I am now legally blind in my right eye.
Thanks to Dr. Sean Allison at Center For Sight in Pensacola FL, I now have double-vision, blurred-vision and distorted-vision in my right eye; I have to close my right eye, or wear a patch to keep my vision from being distorted. Dr. Sean Allison & Dr. G. Tipton McNight both recommended cataract surgery combined with a surgery to remove silicone oil from behind the retina in my right eye, despite my vision being normal. They did so without without disclosing the heightened risk nor a safer, viable option; this is absurd behavior by a doctor. I now have over $25,000 in economic damages, and significant non-economical damages due to their actions.

Dr. Allison repaired my torn retina in April 2020. I've always been apprehensive of anything to with my eyes, yet Dr. Allison along with his staff made the entire procedure--start to finish--an absolutely enjoyable experience. Staff is great, and Dr. Allison is as professional, caring, and most thoroughly competent retinal surgeon as there is. Period. They saved my sight, and for that I will be forever grateful and appreciative. I highly recommend Dr. Allison to anyone without hesitation. Excellent doctor in every facet possible.

with him, fine. with his scheduler - she was quite condescending - even to the point of telling me that I was not feeling pain.... this is frustrating, to say the least.

In January 2019, I saw Dr. Sean Allison for a retinal detachment. It was a scary issue since I had otherwise normal eye health. Dr. Allison thoroughly explained the condition, his treatment plan and got me in for surgery the next day. Dr. Allison was thorough, compassionate and confident. Robbey and Brianna played a vital role in follow up treatment and care. The entire staff was excellent and respected my time. I highly recommend Dr. Allison and his team for retinal care. J.

Dr. Allison is very knowledgeable about his field of practice and communicates with his patients in a manner that is thorough and easily understood. His nurse, Amber, is efficient and treats her patients in a professional manner and with expertise. His office is equipped with the latest medical technology and you leave feeling as though you have received the very best of care. If you are seeking a retina specialist, I highly recommend him.

As an optometrist colleague of Dr. Allison, I feel confident making referrals to his retina clinic. He communicates well and is able to explain complicated conditions in a way that anyone can understand. His extensive knowledge and compassion for his patients result in exceptional care. I would absolutely trust him with my own eyes or those of any of my loved ones.
