By far one of the best doctors I had a pleasure to visit in my 17 years in Puerto Rico . I wiil look no further. He merges new technology with old time bed side manners. Took the time to explain in depth present condition and preventive measures. A well deserve 5 stars and I think I had only given that to one other company ever.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Collazo?
I have often counseled my patients, as a Registered Nurse, that if a doctor cannot explain your treatment plan and diagnosis without resorting to "medical speak," then they do not know their job. Dr. Collazo's background as a professor and researcher is evident his technique. I have always felt that all doctors and nurses must first be teachers. He explained my diagnosis in plain English and he and his assistant, Sue, spent time with me and made sure that I understood. I highly recommend him.

I had laser eye surgery performed by Dr Collazo about three years ago. The result has been amazing. I have had no complications and now have 20/20 vision. Everything from the procedure to all follow up appointments were handled professionally. All team members at the office are friendly and professional and inspire confidence. I would highly recommend Dr Collazo and his team.

I had pain on my eys and dizzing and nausea, after the careful exam Dr. Collazo told me it wa s just because of the farsight. He aslo found out the angle between my iris and corona is too small. to prevent glaucoma, he did lase iridotomy on my eyes. I felt very good after the surgery. Dr. Collazo is very knowladgeable, he explained to me why I had my problem and how to avoid them. I am very lucky to have such good doctor. His staff are all very nice and and profesional and patient.

Dr. Collazo did Laser iridotomy on both eyes of my wife to prevent glaucoma, she felt wonderful after the surgery. her symptom of pain on her eye and dizzing are relieved. Dr. collazo told her that it was just because of the hyperopia and just need a suitable glasses.
Dr. Collazo also gave both of us careful exam on our eyes, taught us the structures and physiology of eyes , What to do to try to prevent the blindness. Looking forward to see him again to maintain good vision and get educated.
