Delray Beach, FL, August 19, 2022 – Dr. Gustavo Garmizo has earned a spot on Newsweek’s prestigious list of America’s Best Eye Doctors 2022. Dr. Garmizo consistently earns 5-star ratings on Google where his two optometry practices have received over 770 combined reviews from satisfied patients – Everything Eyes, located in Delray Beach, Florida (just North of Boca Raton), and West Broward Eyecare, located in Tamarac, Florida.

With the publication of Newsweek’s America’s Best Eye Doctors 2022, Dr. Gustavo Garmizo was honored to rank among the 175 best professionals in his field, nationwide.

Interestingly, the data collected in the Newsweek rankings came not from patient reviews, but from other eye care professionals who were surveyed directly. Respondents included ophthalmologists, optometrists, clinic managers, and other eye care professionals, all of whom were asked to weigh in on the most respected and accomplished optometrists and ophthalmologists in their area.

Specifically, respondents were asked to recommend doctors for recognition and to score those doctors based on the three categories: quality of care, continuity of care, and quality of technology used in the doctors’ practices. Eye doctors from all 50 states were eligible to be awarded.

The list was compiled by Newsweek, in partnership with well-known global data research firm Statista. After surveying thousands of eye care professionals, Statista collected and evaluated data on both ophthalmologists and optometrists, narrowing down the nation’s best into the top 175 doctors in each category. 

Respondents’ votes and scores were then weighted according to location (in-state recommendations were weighted higher than out-of-state) and specialty (a recommendation from a professional in the same group, for example, an optometrist, was weighted higher than a recommendation from another type of eye care professional).
