About St. Luke's Cataract & Laser Institute St. Petersburg
St. Luke's Cataract & Laser Institute St. Petersburg was founded in 1968 by Dr. James P. Gills. In 1974, the practice became the first in the United States dedicated solely to cataract treatment using intraocular lenses. Today, led by Dr. Pit Gills, the institute continues its legacy of innovation, thoughtful adoption of new technologies, and an unsurpassed commitment to patient care. Patients praise the knowledgeable, professional, and caring staff, including surgeons like Dr. Lee and Dr. Ponce, as well as the smooth and thorough process at the well-maintained facility.
Dr. Lee is both a superb surgeon and fine human being. I’m sorry he only does surgery and can’t be my regular eye doctor. BUT, Dr. Stuntz, who does the post-ops, can, and that’s great. My thanks to everyone involved in my care.
Deana was AWESOME at Wesley Chapel. She was pleasant to speak too! She was very informative & knowledgeable. Made me feel at home. I'll def be back!
This was my first time there today I was scared and nervous cause my eye doctor told me I had something on my eye and wouldn’t tell me he just says I’m sending you to st Luke’s well Dr Ponce assured me that I had nothing to worry about it was just a little hemorrhage due to diabetes he said I will see you next year his team was amazing he calmed me down thank you again
