Dr. Frank Edwin Spektor

Ophthalmology

OVERVIEW

Frank E. Spektor, MD was born and raised in Cape Town South Africa. In 1973 he graduated from the University of Cape Town Medical School. After completing his internship and a mandatory year in the medical corps of the South African Defense Force, he immigrated to the United States with his wife. After six months of a general surgery residency in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Dr. Spektor was trained as an ophthalmologist at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania, Scheie Eye Institute and completed his training in 1980. Since 1980, Dr. Spektor has been in private practice in the Kendall area of Miami and has been an active member at Baptist, South Miami and Doctors Hospitals. He has also been a provisional staff member at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Dr. Spektors interest and participation in a refractive surgery date back to his early days in practice. He began successfully treating refractive errors using a procedure that eventually led to LASIK called Radial Keratotomy (RK) and remained in the forefront of developments in this field. Dr. Spektor has traveled to several other countries observing and learning the latest procedures. Shortly after the Food and Drug Administration approved the excimer laser in 1997, Dr. Spektor began performing LASIK and became certified by VISX to perform laser vision correction procedures for treatment of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Dr. Spektor has also become the practices most experienced Visian ICL surgeon. The Visian ICL is the implantable Collamer lens and is mainly used as a premium alternative to LASIK. Since it is commonly used for patients with high levels of refractive error or thinner corneas, Dr. Spektors patients have a wide variety of options when they come to see him for refractive surgery. Amongst Dr. Spektors refractive patients are many of his peer physicians on staff at Baptist Hospital.

"If you want to be berated for not reading doctor's mind and, -heaven forbid -asking questions, then this is the doctor for you. Couple his dislike of elderly with the assembly line medicine practiced at the Center for Eye Care Excellence, replete with a chaotic front desk and a warren of dismal waiting rooms where patients are treated to display of fellow captives wandering hallways trying to escape netherworld in which they've found themselves. Dismal building signage and lack of adequate handicapped parking complete the experience."
