Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

To be absolutely honest I was not looking forward to seeing an eye doctor because I felt at the age of 84 I wasn’t going to get any good news and I had reasons to believe that! I’m losing my depth perception, can’t see vibrant colors, every day I’d have partial fog with intermittent clouds! After Dr Torres examined me and told me the reasons these things were happening it all made sense! I had both eyes giving different info to my brain! I set up surgery because he made me feel comfortable, I know I made the right decision. Thank you Dr Torres you made an old lady comfortable.

Frustrating Visit
I waited for almost an hour before Dr entered exam room. He said his scribe was andent so he had to do all on his own which caused delay. Dr Torres then proceded to check the WRONG EYE and would have tried to remove a cintact from an eye that did not have a contact if I hadnt stopped him and provided him with information regarding lasek surgery, etc., one week prior. I really have little confid3nce in Dr's ability. Also, mi arrived at 10:45 a m.. and the office door was locked! This was a sad experience this morning.
