Although I am not a patient , I want to take the time to thank Dr Bolos for seeing my son after hours today , to provide him with two sets of "Trial Contacts." Here is the story that's kind of hard to believe. Michael was down to Coco Beach , from Pennsylvania, for a week long chemical inspection training course that started today. 5/23/16. It will be an intense course with lots of Power Point Presentations , lab quizzes, technical chemical textbook reading etc... Yesterday after getting to Coco Beach, he went out in the ocean and in the waves lost his only pair of glasses. ( I know, I am only the dad but I would not have gone into the ocean in my glasses .) Mike also forgot to pack any contacts! Last night we found an old Contact Rx and E-mailed it to Mike. He had no time this morning to try to get a pair of contacts, so he spent the first day of training blind and fuzzy. So after the day was over he walked to the closest Walmart , but the doctor was gone for the day and the contact tech could not fill the
RX for a trial pair of contacts. Being a Dentist I was able to contact Dr Bolos at home , just as he got home from his other office. Dr Bolos works PT at Walmart and it was 1/2 hour to closing when we spoke. I relayed the above story to Dr Bolos and to my surprise he told me it takes him 10 mins to get to Walmart. He said he was just about to" crack open a cold one" but he would jump in the car to see Mike as he couldn't imagine taking a week long training course , blind. Not to mention the strain on the eyes and headaches trying to read a Power Point or books with no glasses. Dr Bolos was a lifesaver and Michael and I both really appreciate that he took his time after work to go in to see him. Dr Bolos did fit him with two sets of trail contacts. Mike called me on the way back to his hotel and he can.... sea! If I lived in Coco Beach , Dr B. would be my doctor.

DR.Bolos and staff are great.It's rare to have a doctor that takes the time to explain the procedure. The doctor and staff treat you like a person, not a number.

Dr.Bolos is the most informative,patient,kind, and understanding doctor I have ever met. I so very much wanted to wear contacts but had such a fear/phobia. He helped me overcome my fear and I have the freedom from glasses that I have wanted for years! He's the best and I am forever grateful! I am a nurse and deal with many doctors. He takes the time that every patient needs. I highly recommend him!

Dr Bolos is awesome. He goes over ever detail. His assistant is also very helpful and knowlegable. However I have to agree with other reviews that the receptionist is less than a ball of energy. Punctuality is a problem never on time.
