Elon Wilson - March 28, 2024

Dr. Rajesh K. Shetty is my hero among Eye Care Specialists. Without his caring, competent care, I would have lost my sight totally. Today, I am most grateful, of how his expertise have not only prevented blindness, but has improved my sight beyond anything I could have expected. When I first went to Dr. Shetty, after 7 years of treatment with another Jacksonville Ophthalmologist, my eye pressure was as high as 48. Today my pressure is 15/14, which is miraculous, considering the extremely poor physical condition they were in after being badly burned from an allergic reaction. Prior to Dr. Shetty, I had extremely poor vision. I now have 20/20. If you need have serious eye problems, I highly Recommend Dr. Shetty at Florida Eye Specialists.

Diane Radloff - March 29, 2024

Due to his expertise Dr. Shetty very sought after for easy and complex eye surgeries. He is very caring, upbeat and professional.

Cheryl Billings - March 27, 2024

Dr. Freidl performed a Glaucoma surgery on me that was minimally invasive and lowered my eye pressure from 26 to 11 which is amazing. No other doctor I consulted offered this. Not only is she a good surgeon but she has a friendly “chair side” manner. I highly recommend her.
