Took my son here for a first appointment. Was asked to arrive 30min early for new patient paperwork. Completed it rather quickly. Still about 20min from actual appointment time, he was seen right away. Everyone was amazing & thorough. He moved to 3 different rooms for different reasons and waited no longer than 2-3 minutes in a room. First class staff and operation like a well oiled machine.

Dr. Vakharia is a very caring and compassionate doctor. She really listens to patient concerns, is genuine and easy to talk to. She is thorough in reviewing and analyzing testing results. When I first saw her in 2025, she was concerned that I might have a rare eye disease and encouraged me to have genetic testing. She was correct in her diagnosis which had been misdiagnosed by a different retina specialist. She then helped set up an appointment with a genetic disease retina specialist a couple of hours from my house who praised Dr. Vakharia for her correct evaluation. In addition, when the genetic evaluation confirmed the disease, Dr. Vakharia herself called me on the phone to tell me directly. I have so much respect for her and feel lucky to be in her care.

Encouraging. Helpful info for difficult news about my eyes.

Jan 12, 2026
Dr. Priya Vakharia and staff are absolutely amazing. I was traveling and noticed a hazy spot on my right eye and went to my eye doctor. After a few tests, Dr. Liffland immediately referred me to Dr.Priya. I was in her office two hours later and went through extensive testing. The next morning I was in BayCare hub in Largo and went through detached retina surgery by Dr/David Eichenbaum. Dr.Priya Vakharia and staff were totally focused on me and really helped me both medically and emotionally as I made this journey in less than 24 hours. One great team focused on getting my detached retina surgery completed. One fantastic customer experience from many perspectives.

Very personable and friendly and doesn't make one feel outsmarted. She was pleased with the fact that my eyes are actually a little better than they were a year ago. I like Dr.Vakharia very much.

Dr. Vakharia takes her time with my husband and me, reviewing test results and explaining in plain language what to do to prevent further eye problems. We would definitely refer our friends to her.
