Services | Ophthalmologist Surgeons located in Vero Beach and Fort Pierce, FL

Dr. Katz is thorough and amazing. I started seeing him when I started going to Advanced Eye Care in Vero Beach in Feb 2012. It was the only facility in Indian River County or St. Lucie County with the equipment to do a specialty eye test I needed. In 2021, Dr. Mallon removed cataracts on me. My husband and I both have been patients there since 2012. Always had a positive experience! We can't imagine going anywhere else for our eye care. P.S. If you get an eye emergency, call their number instead of going to ER or urgent care, even if you are not a patient there. An eye doctor is on call 24/7. Urgent Care or ER does not specialize in eyes, but these doctors do.

Dr. Katz is clearly one of the most knowledgeable, professional and personal physicians. I have encountered in my last 45 years of psychiatric practice. His bedside manner is reassuring, educative, and given with appropriate humor. He is an extreme asset to your practice and his ethics are beyond reproach. I would highly recommend him to any of your patience.

Thomas G.

I had cataract surgery in April 2025 performed by Dr Mallon. My experience from the initial check-in throughout all the examinations and consultations before and after the procedures was no less than extraordinary. The entire staff of the practice was the friendliest and most accommodating than I could have ever imagined. Dr Mallon was very professional and reassuring during the entire process and the results were no less than complete perfection. Kudos to Dr Mallon and his team of professionals and I am so thankful that I was referred to him! Life has since been so much more enjoyable being able to now enjoy the gift of clear eyesight! I definitely recommend anyone with any eye concerns or needs to take the first step by calling for an appointment. You will be so pleased with the results and care given!

James S.

I would like to commend Dr. Vander Woude for his kindness,professionalism and commitment to his profession. It is unheard of in our days for a doctor to accommodate a patient on a Sunday when the office is closed to come in and diagnose his condition and treat him with the upmost respect. I had gone to the emergency room with only vision in my left eye I couldn’t see anything out of my right eye at all and the hospital had no optometrist anywhere on duty. I felt lost and helpless until Dr. Vander Woude came to my rescue. Thank you so much for your treatment and support during my difficult time.

Keep up the great service all of you provide!

Barbara T.

I woke up this morning with a bloody looking eye and no idea why this was happening. I called Dr Mallons’ office and got an appt with Dr Ohlstein in about 25 minutes. He looked at me after tech Zabby tested my sight and pressure and knew exactly what it was. He pulled an eye lash away from my eye and said I had a type of a hemorrhage that would gradually go away on its own within 1-2 weeks. Dr O was very cheerful and upbeat and since he was filling in for a Dr Mallon patient he was happy to help me he said. He reassured me and didn’t rush through his diagnosis. I noticed the report said I appeared well nourished. I got a kick out of that. Yes, I recommend this Eye doctor and the facility as a whole.

Priscilla R.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mallon for many years. His team is very friendly and efficient. I have always felt that I received great quality care. Dr. Mallon and his staff are very thorough and personable - taking time to explain any questions that I may have without feeling like I'm rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Mallon and his staff to anyone.

William P.

Cataract surgery without sedation or anesthesia is no more difficult than going to the dentist, and is probably easier. Dr. Mallon has perfected the procedure and the office is run efficiently and professionally, without losing the human touch. I walked out of the procedure seeing better than I have in years, with no pain. I highly recommend this practice.

Ellen S.

Dr Mallon expertly implanted my multi focal lenses following cataract surgery. The procedure and follow up could not have gone better. I have recommended him to many others.

Karen W.

I had cataract surgery two weeks ago with Dr. Zudans. He is fantastic at what he does. So much so, that I can now see every gray hair on my head. LOL!! He was great during the surgery, informing me of everything as the procedure was being done. I highly recommend him. The staff in the surgery center was also great. I was nervous going in but they all put me at ease.
