My husband developed kidney stones and the doctors at Florida Urology were recommended to him. He received excellent care here, getting the ultrasound treatment for his stones which broke the stones up into tiny particles that his body was then able to pass safely.
He received a stent after the procedure, and that was somewhat painful for him, although it was a necessary part of the treatment. Once all was said & done, healing went smoothly and as quickly as could be expected. The doctors and nurses were all professional and caring. We hope we do not need this type of medical professional again, but if we do, we will return to Florida Urology.

Leu Gardens has been another of my life-long favorite places to visit in Orlando. This botanical garden paradise was originally the homestead of the Harry P. Leu family, and the original house is now a museum which you can tour while at the gardens.
There are so many beautiful garden areas here, from the rose garden, a huge collection of camellias, tropical plants of all sorts. We always love to go sit by the lake & relax, watching the herons, the turtles in the water.
It is a mere $5 admission donation to enter the Gardens, it is by far one of the most worthwhile $5 you'll spend while in Orlando!

Dr. Devine has been my optometrist since I was a child and his practice has expanded over the years. You can always count on thorough professional care at Orlando Eye Center.
The desk staff is friendly and pleasant, the choice of eyewear is good although (as with most any optometrist), you might find your glasses a bit cheaper by going to one of the 'discount mall eyewear stores' I usually get my prescriptions here, then get my glasses elsewhere.

If you are into rubber stamping at all, you MUST visit Impressions!! This store is fantastic, offering the latest greatest products for the stamper. They have regular full-blown classes at very low fees, and lots of fun free 'make-it-and-take-it' sessions!
They carry stamps from all the major stamp companies - Hero Arts, Denami, Penny Black, Magenta, and everyone else you can think of. If they don't have a stamp in stock, they will be glad to order it in for you.
The store itself is lovely, the decor is great. There are so many beautiful sample cards to give you inspiration for your next project.
You will love Impressions, whether you are brand-new to stamping, or if you're a seasoned pro.

Sentiments is a fun shop if you're into scrapbooking or rubber stamping They have a very nice selection of merchandise at competitive prices. Classes are offered and are always a lot of fun.
The ladies at Sentiments are so sweet and very helpful, they will help the new scrapbooker or stamper get started, and offer great new ideas and techniques for the seasoned stamper or scrapper.
Since most of the stamping stores immediately in Orlando have now closed down, Sentiments and Impressions from the Heart are great places to shop.

The service at AAA Sew-Vac is superb. I had found an older Kenmore sewing machine at a yard sale, it was a great old 1950's model. Although it was in good condition, it had sat unused for a long time, and was dirty and needed a new belt.
I took it in to AAA Sew-Vac. The serviceman there did an outstanding job bringing my machine up to mint condition. He did a thorough professional job of cleaning everything inside the machine, replacing the belt, oiling the machine properly, and even found some compatible accessories for me.
He really knew sewing machines inside and out, and gave me some invaluable advice and tips about keeping my machine in top-notch condition. And lastly, his charges were extremely reasonable. I will always use AAA Sew-Vac for servicing my machines!

Discount Music Center is a landmark music store for Orlando. The store is huge, carrying a dizzying array of merchandise for all musicians. I love going here to find sheet music - the selection is fantastic! I have yet to go here looking for a particular piece, and not been able to find it.
The staff is extremely knowledgable, courteous and helpful. Prices are competitive. All in all, a great place to shop for musicians of all types.

Pointe Orlando is such a fun place to shop. This is not an enclosed mall, it is a large bunch of shops and restaurants all together, but you can stroll along outdoors going from one shop to the next.
There are a lot of unique places here - you won't find the same ol' same ol' that you see at every other shopping mall across the country. There are some of your familiar stores of course, but then there are some unusual ones like Florida Wild, which I love!
Pointe Orlando used to be home to a HUGE FAO Schwarz store, which unfortunately has now closed much to our disappointment.
Great eating and drinking available here too, from Johnny Rockets for out-of-this-world burgers to Adobe Gilas, a great margarita bar.

Orlando Fashion Square has been here for many years now, and continues to be a great place to shop, or to simply spend the afternoon browsing around.
The main dept stores are Penneys, Burdines, Sears and Dillards. Countless other merchants fill the mall with a great variety of products and services.
The mall offers some nice programs including a monthly storyteller program for the kids, they have frequent mall-wide sales that are fun to shop at, and there is a great movie theater and a food court.
The decor at the mall is lovely. I enjoy going to Fashion Square and simply taking a leisurely stroll through the mall, the atmosphere is quite pleasant.

Savers has two locations in Orlando - we prefer the Ocoee store and have had better luck finding items we wanted at this location than at the store out on Orange Blossom Trail.
Savers has a wide variety of goods, from household items to clothing. Usually there will be a few furniture items. There is a very large selection of clothing, and for the most part, it is much better quality than you may expect to find at a thrift shop. They also have their clothing racks organized very neatly by clothing type, and then by size. This makes shopping so much easier - no more digging & hunting through a rack of mixed clothing trying to find that specific size. We have even found brand-new clothing, with store tags still attached here at Savers!
