One phone number reaches all three offices. Every location keeps the same weekday hours.
The answers our front desk gives most often when a new patient calls.
Your insurance card, a photo ID, a list of your current medications, your glasses or contacts, and any records from a previous eye doctor if you have them.
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most major plans — including Florida Blue/BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and more. We’ll verify your specific plan for you; just ask when you call.
A diabetic eye exam usually includes dilation, which can leave your vision blurry and light-sensitive for a few hours. We recommend bringing sunglasses and, if you tend to be sensitive, arranging for someone to drive you home.
Plan for a thorough visit rather than a quick in-and-out. We run complete diagnostic testing and Dr. Powers personally reviews your results with you, so appointments can run longer than a routine checkup — especially on busier days. We’re always working to keep your wait as short as we can, but we’d rather give your eyes the time they deserve than rush your care.
Yes — all three offices (New Port Richey, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg) are welcoming new diabetic and senior patients. Request an appointment online or call (727) 738-5900.
Our front desk answers Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM. One number reaches all three Tampa Bay offices.
