Ocala Eye has a large staff of ophthalmologists in various subspecialties as well as generalists, other docs as well. We are very grateful for Ocala Eye. They have 2 offices in TV and one in the south will open soon.

Depending where you live, Mid Florida Eye Center has several locations with one on 5743 Williamsburg Lane near the intersection of Hwy 44 and Buena Vista. Very handy for the newer areas of TV. They have many other locations too. You can look them up online. I see Dr. Pieschke there. I like him a lot. He's the best communicator of medical issues and procedures I have encountered.

We normally see Dr Charles here and would recommend him but have seen Dr Pieschke on occasion and have a very favorable impression. However thinking he is optometrist.

You are right, my mistake. Dr Pieschke is an optometrist, not an opthamologist.

Dr. Licht over at Brownwood answers my questions the way I answered *my* patients' questions. Much appreciated. *And*, the efficiency with which that operation is run puts to shame the office I left in Fort Lauderdale. Interestingly, he grew up in Ocala.

I’ve been going to Dr Ram (Ramchandra) for several years and he is great. Would highly recommend him.

Dr. Pieschke is an Optometrist, not an MD - ophthalmologist. I see Dr Panzo there. He is a glaucoma specialist.
