Philip Ames, MD

First time visit with Dr ames. Very impressed! Explained in simple detail the results of my eye photos. He has a very caring manner and I feel extremely lucky to have him following my care. As usual, the office staff is sweet and knowledgeable and the office operations runs very smoothly. 5 🌟

I called because of sudden onset symptoms, and they managed to get me in within two hours. Miraculous enough, but then I had splendid nurses/attendants and Dr. Phillip Ames made a very detailed exam of my retina, located two tears and some other issues, explained it all thoroughly, and performed a fairly uncomfortable laser surgery over the course of five minutes while he kept me encouraged and happy enough. I loved everyone’s bedside manner, and I’m sending my best friend to him.

The Doctor was very professional and pleasant. He made a point to reassure me there were not any problems. His staff were all very pleasant and nice and his Assistant called me like she said she would. The Doctor was no more than 3 minutes behind schedule. I would highly recommend.

I had a best experience. I am new to the area and I choose dr. Philip Ames to see with my son's rear eye disease. He was beyond my expectation. He is a wonderful doctor with a very kind, helpful staff. He also very personal and a great human being. Truly dedicated eye specialist in Sarasota. Front desk and nurses are very nice and the office is clean. I will be back long as I live in Sarasota.

I've seen Dr. Ames a few times now. With each visit, he's been professional, courteous and is very thorough. He's in a very busy practice, but is willing to take time to make sure I understand what's going on with my eyes. He always asks if I have any questions and if I do, he answers them so I understand what's going on. I'm very thankful for that because I've never had eye problems before so the issues have been, obviously, very concerning.

The office staff is friendly and helpful. The wait to be seen has never been very long even on a day I had to be worked in. I appreciate those things, as well.
