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.

Great Doctor
Dr Peden is very easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions to our satisfaction and does a very comprehensive assessment at each visit.

Knowledgeable, patient, and kind.
I was not an established patient with him. Monday, increased pain in left eye, was being seen at another practice for possible cataract surgery but left eye pain was my priority. Physicians had no idea what was causing pain, gave me random medications that didn't relieve the pain. and scheduled me for cataract surgery which entailed many follow up office visits. I was in too much pain, couldn't drive there, too far. Friend from church raved about Retina Associates of Florida. I stopped in asking if someone would see me. Appt. for next day at 9 with Dr. Peden. He spent so much time with me. Finally, I had a diagnosis for the eye pain and prescribed medication. called and asked if I could be his patient. He was wonderful. Leaving other practice.

Very professional office and Dr. Peden is terrific. He is compassionate and patient and communicates clearly. I have Uveal Melanoma, a rare eye cancer, and see Dr. Peden during the six-month time I live in Florida. I travel almost two hours to see him. It is worth it because I need his experience and professionalism for this rare eye cancer.

I have never felt more comfortable visiting a doctor for the first time than I felt with Dr. Peden AND his staff. It was like attending a family reunion; I was surrounded with people who genuinely care about their patients and go the extra mile to make them feel at ease. I'm an R.N., and I know that cannot be faked. These good people are the real thing. They put the "CARE" in "Professional Care".
