Kaufman Eye Institute

Great doctors

Best in Sumter County Florida. Everyone should consider using

Dr Kaufman is patient, kind, understanding and highly qualified. Every visit is thorough and pleasant

Very professional staff all the way from reception to the doctor to check out. Everyone was very helpful and informative. I have been to several eye doctors and eye clinics and this is the best!

Correct testing and recommendations

Dr. Stuart Kaufman performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes, implanting crystal lenses. He has treated one of my eyes for glaucoma and has performed other procedures for me. I have recommended his services to many people. He is a wonderful man with a caring and knowledgeable staff. I would not choose to go anywhere else! Mary T. 'Georgia' Bickford

It was very poor. He is condescending and a bully. He had no idea why my brother was there, he didn't look at the medical records provided by the prior ophthalmologist, and when he behaved so poorly, my brother went to another retinal specialist with five star reviews. The new retinal specialist was professional, kind, listened, reviewed my brother's prior records, and found none of the concerns that Dr. Faust recommended surgical procedures for. He should not be practicing medicine.

I’m deeply disappointed with Dr. Munger’s care for my 84-year-old mother. After a successful entropion surgery in 2017 with another doctor at Kaufmann Eye Institute, we returned in January 2024 for a repeat procedure with Dr. Munger. He recommended surgery on both eyes, despite only one being problematic. By December 2024, my mother needed surgery again. The appointment involved over an hour of waiting, and Dr. Munger spent less than 10 minutes with us, offering little explanation. He also contradicted his assistant, who had stated my mother had received two sutures in the first surgery—despite Dr. Munger claiming she had not. My mother was charged over $2,000 for these sutures. Despite promises to follow up, we have heard nothing from his office. This lack of transparency, poor communication, and repeated surgeries are unacceptable. I strongly recommend finding another surgeon. Save your time, money, and peace of mind.

Fantastic doctor. Great bedside manner and surgically top notch. Recommend without reservation
