Eye Care by Internet & Phone

Questions?

Do you need eye care, but are fearful of COVID-19?

Do you need a second opinion on your eye problem?

Do you need an accurate diagnosis?

Do you need to know the best treatment options?

How can we help?

Now you can obtain high quality information on the phone, on videoconference (Facetime, Skype, etc), and by e-visit on a confidential computer portal.  

We offer assessments and treatment recommendations.  We review your history directly, examine your eyes with a video device, and review photos and charts from past exams.  If you live near Tampa, we are available to see you in the office.  If you are distant, we can put you in contact with superb physicians closer to you.  

What does it cost?

There is no charge to you with Medicare and most insurances.  If you have no insurance, the cost is $35 for the first visit.  Additional fees may apply if there is a need for review of photos and medical records. 

Does it matter where I live?

Although it is best if you live near Tampa, we may be able to help even if you live afar.  If you are local, we are available to examine your eyes directly if needed. If you live distant from Tampa, we can refer you to a reputable eye-care specialist in your area if you need an examination.

How do I make contact?

Call 1-888-622-8521.  Ask the receptionist for a virtual appointment with Scott E. Pautler, MD.  They will establish a patient account and arrange for a call-back within 24 hours.
