John R. Walesby Jr, OD

I was in the market for a new eye doctor after my old one up and left town without any notice- and I hate having to shop for new doctors. I made an appt at Walesby based on Facebook Neighborhood group recommendations as well as the yelp reviews.  Dr Walesby and the staff exceeded my expectations. I had a broken wrist at the time, and so I was thankful to be able to fill out the patient paperwork electronically ahead of time. It's a small office, so there was no wait time.  In addition to my normal eye and contact lens exam, I also ended up having an ulcer on my cornea, which Dr Walesby helped me to treat with no issues. Was able to order my years supply of contacts through my insurance with them, and pick up a few days later. Glad to have found a new great place!

I visited the Tampa location and the doctor there was incredible. He was very informative and helped me understand my contacts use more in depth. The staff greeter was very nice. Overall the experience was awesome. Best eye doctor I've been to in 10 years.

Dr. Walesby is by far the best eye doctor I've ever seen!  He went way beyond my expectations to fulfill all my optical needs.  He is extremely knowledgeable and kind and does his utmost to get your prescription perfect.  I opted to go with bifocal (actually, trifocal) contact lenses, and he kept on tweaking the lenses, which required me to come back several times for fittings, just to ensure they were the best possible lenses for my myopic eyes.  I have a very severe astigmatism which made it twice as difficult to get the prescription right.  Dr. Walesby did not charge me a penny more than the original office visit (except for the price of the lenses.)  I thank Dr. Walesby and his assistant, Gina, for going the extra mile to make me supremely happy.  I am so glad I found him!
