Did his job, but I liked Dr Vish better. I asked not to have a refraction done, but they did it snyway. Got charged 60 dollars ☹️. Noticed they did not give me the prescription when I was leaving. I noticed it in the car and my husband went back in for it and they told him you have to pick it up where they do the glasses. Nobody told me that not professional. Plus, it was freezing cold in the waiting area as usual, even though I did bring a light jacket I had the chills I truly hope Ocala I improves some of their procedures and policies

He was very thorough. Most of all he gave me his opinion about the procedure Lake Eye is doing for "helping" already in place cataracts. He recommended that I not pursue it, and Ocala wouldn't do it.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I still have some lingering doubt as to whether there might be a very small piece of old contact lens remaining in the corner of my eye. I sometimes think I still feel it but maybe it's might imagination. Dr. Badal said he saw nothing there. Other than that he gets a 5 star for the entire visit. Thank you.

Very good

Dr. Badal was very helpful in explaining how my eyes have changed. i’m very hopeful that my new prescription for my glasses, well greatly improve my vision.

Personable and knowledgeable

My first visit with Dr. Badal went very well. I appreciated the time he took with me, on the exam, and in answering all my questions.

Dr. Badal prescribed an antibiotic for me yester, Jan. 12.. When my husband went to pick it up, the pharmacist informed my husband that it contained Leviquin which I'm allergic to. Dr. Badal obviously didn't read my records to see which medicines I'm allergic to. This in turn, led to me not being able to purchase a different antibiotic until noon the next day. My eye was hurting so badly Saturday morning, Jan, 13, that my husband had to drive mr to Ocala to see another doctor in the practice. Prescribing medicine that people are allergic to could be deadly for some people. Dr. Badal needs to be reminded to check a patient's allergies before prescribing medicine not only could it be deadly but it caused the patient to wait another 24 hours before getting the antibiotic she needed. All of this is very bad!!

Efficient, pleasant, knowledgeable 👍

Thank you !!

I am a longtime patient at Ocala Eye. My regular doctor was unavailable for a pressing problem I was having, so I was assigned to Dr. Badal.

I felt confident in his assessment and knowledge, and I would definitely not mind being treated by him in the future.

Great customer service

He was very professional and answered all my questions However, the office had too many appointments on top of each other I had to wait over 2 hours for a 5 minute recheck. That is unacceptable for any appointment. Something needs to be corrected with scheduling

Excellent rapport and communication skills. Dr.Badal listened and identified my reason for the appointment and even went further to identify an underlying issue. Fantastic Doctor and a great addition to Ocala Eye!
