Dr. Michael G. Ort, MD

I credit Dr. Ort for the good vision I have today.

I was born with congenital bilateral cataracts and have amblyopia.

Dr. Ort started treating from when I was 15-years-old up until I turned 29 and moved away from central FL.

During my years as his patient, he properly fit me with contact lenses after my previous ophthalmologist failed to do so.

He was truly dedicated to ensuring I achieve the best vision possible and was very professional and diligent in his care.

When I turned 29, he performed intra-ocular lens implants on both eyes. I had to persuade him to do the surgeries; he was concerned about the risks involved as mine was a very challenging case.

The surgeries were successful and I can happily report that almost 20 years later, I have had no complications with the implants and I enjoy good vision.

I am sorry to hear a previous poster (Terri) was critical of Dr. Ort’s bedside manner. My experience as his patient for 14 years was completely different. He is direct but always professional and a highly skilled ophthalmologist.

I firmly believe my vision would not be what it is today if it weren’t for Dr. Ort. He made a world of difference - he is a brilliant and talented doctor. I can’t thank him enough.

Dr. Ort has taken excellent care of me over the years. I have a family history of vision problems and he has monitored to make sure I don't have those issues. Thank you for your excellent service.
