Dr. Charles Putrino, OD

I have had the pleasure of having Dr. Putrino care for my eyes since i moved here 24 years ago. I have full faith in him, very knowledgeable, and trust him totally. He spends as much time as needed and explains everything in detail and leaves no questions unanswered with no rushing. He is also extremely caring and personal, asking about my family and spending time to just talk...Excellent dr. and human being..

Dr Putrino was knowledgeable and offered important tips in improving my dry eyes. He was professional and explained a couple of finding in a very clear manner o would highly recommend him.

Dr. Putrino was very thorough, explained everything done in detail and was very patient.

He was very professional. He was one of the best doctor I ever had for my eyes. I will surely recommend him to anyone

Dr. Putrino and Center for Sight is a world class practice. A family member recommended them to me when I moved to Bradenton three years ago and I am so glad I took their advice. While the practice is large, they work hard at treating everyone individually, like a smaller practice would: empathy, care, concern and professionalism. Dr. Putrino is one of the best optometrists I’ve ever had because he loves what he does and he has a rare gift of explaining your particular issue, results or general eye health in a way that you can understand. He never appears rushed and will answer your questions knowledgeably and honestly. Because I had cataract surgery (Dr. Soscia - also wonderful!) in the last two years, I’ve seen Dr. Putrino many times as follow up. He’s been incredible. I wouldn’t trust my eye health to anyone else and highly recommend this Ophthalmology practice.

Meticulous! Very thorough in his examination! Dr. Putrino and the entire staff practice service excellence skills.

Dr. Putrino is professional, kind, thorough, knowledgeable, charming, amazing and put me at ease with my eye issues twice in six months. I cannot find enough kind words to say about him. Consider yourself lucky to have him as your doctor. I know I do.

Dr Putrino is very professional. He talks in language I can understand and takes time to explain everything about my eyes. I appreciate his e per tide.

Highly recommend Dr Putrino. He has been my Dr 5+ years. He is very personable, professional, knowledgeable and cares.

Competent, caring, and accessible. Actually LISTENS to the patient and checks what may be the underlying condition waiting time is not meaningful because of time lags on dilation, etc

For a routine eye exam to update a prescription, Dr Putrino’s prescription was so off that my son suffered severe headaches. Then my son was asked to bring his year old contact prescription that the doctor duplicated. For this experience, Dr. Putrino charged $381.00. At first we were told that this routine eye examen will be covered by our insurance and we were only responsible for a copay of $40.00. We were misled, received the worst eye doctor exam and left to pay a bill. Stay Away!

Exceptional treatment from Dr Putrino. Takes the time to explain things and answer questions.

I have been in several times in the past year. I felt the most comfortable and confident on this visit. I spent a great deal of time with the Dr and we had a great conversation about general health and the impact on your eyesight. The extra time he spent was very much appreciated and informative.

Dr. Putrino is very professional, personable and friendly. He takes his time with patients and calmly answers questions. I have also witnessed his interaction with his staff when it wasn't apparent I could overhear and he is very courteous and respectful with them too.

I was extremely impressed with Dr. Putrino (and his assistant)! He is patient, spends time with you, and answers questions. I felt like I was his "only patient" when he was in the room. He found an eye condition (not found in a previous eye exam by another eye doctor 6 months ago). He is thorough, friendly, and made me feel at ease. His assistant was also very thorough, friendly, and helpful. I would highly recommend this office and Dr. Putrino!

Dr. Petrino was very professional and extremely thorough in solving my eye problem. I appreciate that he is a very caring doctor.

Dr. Putrino was very thorough and caring during my visit with him to see whether I might need cataract surgery.

Dr. Putrino was extremely thorough and addressed potential issues with my sight outside of the scope of my visit, which was much appreciated. I will definitely be back, as these folks are extremely professional.

HE ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS I FELT HE GAVE GOOD ADVICE.
