Dr. Pappas and his entire staff at Pinnacle Eye Center Viera provided my wife and I with an excellent cataract surgical experience. Their attention to every aspect of the procedure was exemplary.

Review for Dr. Pappas

I have been seeing Dr. Goodfellow for more than five years. He is very compassionate and shows concern about my well being and health. He always spends adequate time reviewing my concerns.

Review for Dr. Goodfellow

Good doctor who really listens to what you have to say...BUT, His office appointments are always OVER-BOOKED (like 3 people scheduled between 2:25 & 2:35!!), his staff is short-handed and you can never get out of there under THREE HOURS!!

Review for Dr. Page

On my previous review it shows 4 stars for Knowledgeable. It should be a 5. If they had 10 stars I definitely would have choosen that. He is very knowledgeable and a excellent Dr. Thanks to Dr K I am living my life pain free!
