What Our Patients Say
Posted on Google April AbadinAugust 7, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My contact lense split in half and I had to go to the ER to get it removed. NO PLACE AROUND WOULD TAKE AN EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT.My contacts prescription was expired and my glasses broke. That was my last pair. I’m declared legally blind by the state of Florida.Everyone around kept telling me they had openings within 2 or 3 weeks or so. Ms.Naomi understood my issue and took it above and beyond to prioritize it. She took me in as a priory appointment.She was extremely lovely and squeezed me in with a few hours. Dr. Cortez was amazing and was very kind and respectful.He made sure I was well taken care of. So did his staff Mr. Issac & Mr.Jose they both helped me throughout the whole appointment,. I felt extremely happy and welcomed. I appreciate the hospitality. I also was given backpacks for my son and my nephew to go back to school, full of supplies needed for the new year. Honestly I’m grateful for them to take my issue aa a priority, I’ll forever be grateful!!! 1000000000/10 Best customer service ever💯Posted on Google Cora DiestroJuly 25, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a wonderful experience with the staff at Simply See. Awesome atmosphere. Isaac was wonderful and the two receptionist were so very friendly. My son and I were both very nervous because it was a new atmosphere for us, but it was just a great experience. They take Medicaid and also helped me figure out where I can get the glasses covered by Medicaid. Very, very helpful. The office is very kid friendly. They have tablets for the children to entertain them and a TV With cartoons playing. We watched a little bit of Ice Age. They also have a lot of different styles of child glasses. I will definitely recommend Simply See! Thank you!Posted on Google Carey FudgeJuly 23, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I truly love this place. When you think of the "eye doctor" or any appointment for that matter you dont expect to be so fascinated while in there. Ive now been twice, once for my 13yo son and today for myself. Both were great experiences. There's so much to look at on the walls, between the pictures of the doctors mission trips and the decor, its all beautiful. Everyone is very kind and welcoming and more than willing to help you! Another huge plus is the ease of booking appointments. Online booking is SO easy and I do not fear having to wait months or even weeks to get in! They're very thorough with their confirmation text as well and even a human calls you the day before. I mention this because many places now have automated calls and while filling out the online registration (sent the day before) I received my confirmation call. That was perfect timing because I had a question about one of the consents and what insurance covered so she was able to answer my questions on the spot. Yes, I love the passion behind the doctor and the stories on the walls. Yes, I love the artsy look to it all. But, I really appreciate the family feel when I walk thru the door! I highly recommend Simply See. I also want to add that the level of professionalism is top notch. 🙏⭐️👓👀Posted on Google Ceanothis 1June 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service, great for families! Comfortable and clean little place, we were treated very well by the polite doctor and staff, who answered all our questions and were very accommodating, and the selection of frames was great. Easy and smooth experience. My exam was very relaxing, the doctor is patient and calm. They are fantastic with kids too, the doctor seems to have a way with kids and adults both. We felt very well taken care of while waiting in the little lobby area too, like concierge at a nice hotel complete with a coffee/tea station for, what I felt like, guests! Highly, highly recommended to anyone in the area, and I would say it's worth the drive if you're from out of the area, too. Thanks, Simply See doctor and staff.Posted on Google Janice JenkinsMay 10, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be happier with my new glasses! Isaac is truly an expert in his craft! The fit is perfect, and the lens quality is crystal clear—it’s honestly the best vision I’ve had in a long time. Isaac took the time to ensure everything was adjusted just right, making the whole process seamless and professional. If you’re looking for an experienced Optician who genuinely knows his stuff, I can't recommend Isaac enough!Posted on Google Stephen FournierMarch 19, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Lewis took his time with me and I did not feel rushed like I did at my previous eye doc. Booking appointments and completing the paperwork is very easy via the website.Posted on Google StephhMarch 13, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t typically write many reviews. But my daughter was sooo nervous about going to eye doc because of the bad experience we had at a prior place the week before. We gave them a shot I randomly found thru google and the staff was so nice. The doctor handled her so well and kept patience.Posted on Google My NameMarch 6, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment you walk in, the entire staff is very welcoming and friendly.
Simple See is simply awesome!!! As someone who has worked in customer service for more than 20 years, I greatly appreciate the outstanding customer service my family has received. Dr. Lewis is amazing. My oldest son had to come in for his first eye visit. Not knowing what to expect my son said he had an awesome time with Dr. Lewis. Dr. Cortez Lewis is now our family eye doctor.

Dr. Lewis and his staff were absolutely incredible. Not only was the office kid friendly (entertainment for the kids while you wait) but they had a nice assortment of frames to choose from. Simply See takes the guess work out of purchasing a pair of frames by having signage around to help you navigate your options. Our experience with the office was seamless from beginning to end. Can’t wait for the frames to come in. Oh and the decor was spot on too. Very modern and clean. A+++

Dr. Lewis is AWESOME. He made me feel a lot better about my eyes. He has taken care of my son and grandsons. His staff is great also

Dr. Lewis and his staff were extremely professional and helpful. My daughter was nervous at first to go but she loved the staff. Thank you Simply See!
Erin
I'll start out with I have never left an eye appointment with such satisfaction and feeling like I enjoyed a doctor's appointment. The staff is all very friendly, happy, and enjoyable to talk to. The office was clean, comfortable and neat. If you're worried about covid, they were safe. The doctor was so knowledgeable! He was also friendly, took his time with me, and explained everything really well. He was honest about pricing, broke everything down for me and gave me options. I don't believe I will ever go to another eye doctor! I would find it hard for anyone to find a fault with this place with how I was treated. I highly suggest giving them a try!
Christi
We have had great experiences with Dr. Lewis! My 6 year old needed glasses and was nervous about his first visit to the optometrist. Dr. Lewis was so kind and patient with him and explained everything he was going to do with my son. He was extremely thorough and handled my anxious boy with lots of care. He also explained to me the process of what he was doing. I was highly impressed with the level of excellence and care our family received. Our son was so excited to pick out his first pair of glasses and is looking forward to his next visit with Dr. Lewis.
Jennifer
Dr. Cortez saw my wife and I for our most recent annual check up. He was patient, friendly, and very thorough. He was also able to answer any questions we had with ease. We are very satisfied with our experience, and will be visiting Simply- See from now on for all our eye needs!
Daniel
My 8 year old son kept telling me he could not see the board in his classroom. I decided to search for an optometrist. I found Dr. Lewis with Simply See online and decided to call. All of my questions were answered and I made the appointment. It was the best thing I could have done for my son. Once we arrived, the staff greeted us using all of covid protocols and was extremely friendly. The place was super clean and beautiful. My son had a comprehensive eye examination. I was pleased with how Dr. Lewis was so patient and thorough during the whole process.Needless to say, my son has his first pair of glasses and he can see the board perfectly now and he is much happier. We are so grateful to Simply See and would definitely recommend them. I myself will be scheduling my appointment very soon .
Ferne

Dr. Lewis hands down is the BEST Optometrist I’ve visited. I trust my eye health under his care is thorough and he always has my best interest. He has AWESOME bedside manners and takes the time to explain my eye health to where I can understand. I recommend Dr. Lewis you will NOT be disappointed.
Chantele
my children seen Dr Lewis today Absolutely fantastic experience. Dr Lewis And his office was so kind and thorough and most importantly, patient with my 4 year old. he explained everything every step of the way ! they sanitized everything prior to us arriving, so I felt comfortable letting my kids play with the toys in the very comfortable office. If you are a parent, you get it. No one wants to let their kids touch the toys at the dr, but they always want to. It was a huge relief knowing they were cleaned thoroughly between patients. I left feeling informed and happy and will recommend this place to everyone I know. He also had a fantastic selection of baby and children's frames. Thank you Dr Lewis!! The wood And Pulzone Family

I went to Dr Lewis for an eye examination and had some concerns regarding my vision. Dr Lewis took the time to listen to my concerns and give a thorough examination and explanation regarding the health of my eyes. His expertise and care are top level. I often recommend anyone needing vision care to Dr Lewis!

Dr. Lewis' professionalism is second to none. I appreciated the fact that he really took the time to speak in simple terms while we performing his exam. I really enjoyed Dr. Lewis and recommend him to anyone looking for an eye doctor.

I took my 6 year old son and 8 year old daughter to see Dr. Lewis today. This was our first time there and I was very impressed with their pleasant yet professional environment and service. We were greeted immediately and their check in process went smoothly. Dr. Lewis and his staff were super friendly, respectful and knowledgeable. I was not disappointed. Dr. Lewis did a fantastic job examining my children’s eyes and made them feel comfortable. He was very kind and super patient with them. He explained everything as he examined my children’s eyes and made the overall experience great! My husband and I will be going to see Dr Lewis again. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis.

Knowledgeable Doctor, Friendly Staff & Excellent Selection of Eyeglasses for the Entire Family 😉 Great children's area with books, chalkboard, a movie and juice boxes!

Dr. Lewis is great. He went above and beyond to make sure I was understanding the cost of my glasses and appointment. I’ve never had a doctor do that before. I greatly appreciate his helpful demeanor! His staff was so kind, and helpful as well! I Would recommend Dr. Lewis to everyone! Added bonus; the shop has such a cute aesthetic! Loved it
Cortni
I have been wearing glasses for over 10 years now, and my experience at Simply See was undoubtedly the best I've ever had. I was greeted right when I entered the office, and the employees were so kind and welcoming during the entirety of my visit. The check in process was smooth, and the wait time was incredibly short. The exam itself was done very thoroughly, and after choosing my glasses, Dr. Lewis took the time to carefully explain everything to me so that there were no surprises. I highly recommend Simply See and will definitely be coming back! 🙂
