I had my cataract surgery done at Eye Institute of West Florida which was an absolutely horrible experience. My doctor recommended Updegraff Laser Institute. They are thorough, thoughtful and kind. I feel completely confident in their expertise and experience. I can’t recommend them enough.

I am so impressed by the level of care of all staff members at Dr. Updegraff’s office! I saw Dr. Behn and I really appreciated the care he provided! His explanation of my eyes was very thorough. He asked if I had any concerns or questions which I appreciated as well!! I highly recommend Dr. Updegraff’s office to anyone looking for great vision care!

I have been going to Updegraff for many years. At my annual appointment today with Dr. Behn, he was his usual affable and wonderful self. Lucky me, he only had good news to share with me today. Still… he seemed to be basking in the good news just as much as I was! A great visit!

My son had his LASIK surgery at Updegraff and we could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, every member of the team was professional, caring, and efficient, with appointments that were quick yet thorough. All our questions were answered before and after the procedure. The staff was excellent and made us feel completely confident in their care, and the procedure itself went perfectly with no issues at all. What truly stood out was the support afterward. When I needed to call over the weekend with questions during his recovery, I reached someone right away and received clear, reassuring answers. We are extremely grateful for the outstanding care and highly recommend Updegraff.
