Today I had an emergency visit, not the greatest diagnosis, but the fact that he diagnosed another problem based on my eye condition simply amazed me. Thank you Dr Laudicinia!!!
Dr Brad is Absolutely the most thorough and knowledgeable in the area!! I’m not an easy patient, I’ve been wearing glasses since 18months old and my eyes are terrible. Dr Brad has always been very in tune with my eyes unlike so many in the past. Thank you again!!read more

Personal service, very professional. Dr Mackie fitted my contacts. It probably took 10 visits, trying 6 different brands and types until we found the right setup. I though they would get frustrated by me going back and forth. However, I felt pleased with their courteous service.
On other matters, I caught a couple of eye infections. I called their office to seek help and they were very helpful scheduling me for same day service. My infections were treated and I remain a very very happy customer.
I truly recommend the practice.read more

Eye Center, Inc. is a wonderful place, from the moment you walk in. To a bright clean office and a cheery hello. Dr. Black is terrific, he was gentle, caring and just a laid back doctor, who had time for questions.
After my cataract surgery at another place, as they do not do that here, I would never go to any place but Eye Center. I felt bad for Dr. Black, as my second eye, ended up with a scratched cornea. All I knew was a contact with a band-aid was place on my eye at the end of surgery. He carefully removed it and if the pain was to much come back, after lunch. I called and they said come on in, and he put another contact with band aide in. Next day I had to go back and he removed it and life is good. He took it all in stride.
I wish the surgeon had said I had dry eyes, not just put the drops in as prescribed, I think the first eye would have been bearable.
Other physician are in this office and I am sure they are equally as qualified.
I have had a great experience, almost 40 years ago with the Bradenton office, thanks to all....read more

Everyone takes their time to make sure you are treated well and acknowledged. We moved into the area 3 years ago and had a horrible time with one of the other providers getting both my husband and my prescriptions totally messed up. Office personnel and doctors we had were absolutely rude.
Having found this place, all office personnel even a temp were kind and took their time listening to you. Dr. Black is excellent! Both my husband and I are so pleased we finally found our eye care as we have retired to this area.read more

I highly recommend The Eye Center Inc. in Parrish, specifically Dr Black who handles my rather rare health conditions very deftly. Marge who helps you pick out your glasses is a gem.

I was visiting my parents over the Holidays and popped in due to a blurry contact. Even before coming into the office, I was very impressed with how professional and friendly the front desk staff was. I saw Dr. Sarah Mackey and she is AWESOME!! She listened very intently to my concerns and addressed them professionally and was super thorough. I feel like optometrists I've worked with in the past were a little stuffy and uncomfortable... not here one bit! Super comfortable, relaxed and knowledgable. Very glad I found this office and will be making my annual visits when I'm in town!read more
