1. The appointment process begins with your initial contact with Maricela (305) 576-5338.
She will ask you the type of examination you would like to have. Which translates to what is your main concern in requesting the exam.
Here are a few ideas to guide you: 
Child is struggling in school
Child or self had concussion
Something is not right with how your eyes work
You or your child is cross eyed or has a lazy eye
You would like contact lenses or a regular eye exam
You would like a second opinion
Military Screening

2. She will then email you a one page patient information form and a privacy statement.  Please fill these out and email them to maricela@visiontherapymiami.com

3. The next stage is entering your personal information into our computer system and calling you back to schedule an online patient interview with either one of my students or me (that's right no very long patient history forms to fill out - we will do it all for you).  To do this we will create a private "team" on Microsoft Teams. This is the online platform that we use for telemedicine and conferencing.  We will be using the email that you provide us (please be certain to know your password for that email).  Once created please add Microsoft teams to one mobile device and your personal computer.  Log in to make sure that you are able to see your team and send a confirmation email to us on the team.

4. You will receive an email with the date and time of the online patient interview.  Please add this to your calendar.

5. On the day of the patient interview click on the meeting link on your calendar, or on the email.  If you are having difficulties please reach out to Maricela (305) 576-5338.  Please allow up to 2 hours for the interview.  Some cases may be more complicated than others and require the full 2 hours.  Other take less than 40 minutes.

6. At the end of the interview we will know the type of evaluation you need and will reach out to Maricela to let her know the number of visits and the length of time for each visit that you will need to complete your/your child's evaluation.

7. Before scheduling your visit(s) we ask that you pay a deposit to guarantee your appointment(s).  This deposit ranges between $50 - $200.  The preferred method for payment is Zelle to paulinekbuck@bellsouth.net. Credit cards are accepted with a 4% fee.  Checks are accepted and will need to be made out to Dr. Pauline Buck and mailed to the office address: 
4770 Biscayne Blvd. 
Suite 550
​Miami, Florida 33137

8. Once the deposit has been received Maricela will contact you to schedule the visit(s).

9.  Some types of examinations may be performed online.  Others require that you come to the office.  And other may be of the hybrid type.  Please let us know your examination preferences and we will do our best to accommodate you.

10.  The office is a medical office and we will ask that you please wear a mask covering both your nose and your mouth.  If there is any medical reason that you are not able to please let us know in advance.

Looking forward to meeting you soon, whether online or in person.
