Professional, kind and extremely instructive as Dr Pautler told me everything he was going to do and then did a procedure painlessly that I didn’t feel at all. He has a terrific staff with him and they are a well oiled machine. I benefitted greatly with their precision and technique. I highly recommend Dr Pautler. I did voluminous research changing from one practice where I found the staff to be rather unfeeling and uncaring talking about their personal lives rather than the practice. The Physicians seemed oblivious. I stayed about a year and then found Dr. Pautler and his office which is warm and professional.

Dr Paulter is an amazing retina specialist. He listened to my past eye history, conducted additional tests and corrected a misdiagnosis that I had received from two other retina specialists. He is so dedicated that he contacted me on a Sunday morning to report the results of his findings. I have recommended him to two neighbors without reservation.

As a retired physician, I can say with certainty that Dr Pautler is one of the most knowledgeable, skilled, and professional physicians I have ever known. I am grateful to be his patient and although I no longer live in Tampa, I travel to Tampa from either Sarasota or North Carolina to receive his care. I would have it no other way. I must also compliment his entire staff for their friendliness and professionalism. His office is the most efficient medical office I have visited.
