Don’t take our word for it — confirm Coastal Eye Institute’s credentials and dig into the specialty yourself.
Coastal Eye Institute is one of the largest ophthalmology groups in the Sarasota-Bradenton-Manatee region, headquartered in Bradenton with additional offices in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, and Sun City Center. Rather than a single-surgeon refractive practice, it is a comprehensive, multi-subspecialty group staffed by fellowship-trained ophthalmologists across cataract surgery, retina/macular degeneration, glaucoma, oculoplastics, dry eye, and diabetic eye care, with LASIK offered as one service line within that broader scope. Its physician roster includes surgeons such as Dr. Jody Abrams, Dr. Paul Brannan, Dr. Jeffrey Davis, Dr. Robert Edelman, Dr. Pooja Khator, Dr. Robert Sambursky, and Dr. Scott Silverman, among others. Because of its breadth, LASIK patients here are served within a full-service medical eye-care institution rather than a refractive-only center, which suits patients who may also have or develop other ocular conditions. The practice accepts a wide range of insurance and is well established in the local market with standard weekday hours.
