The reviews listed below were collected independently of Southwest Retina Specialists through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I like Dr. Eddie but for myself and others to go through the process of seeing him taking a minimum of three hours it feels as if he rushes the visit. He makes it a point to never come in and sit, talks as he’s moving and leaves no room for any questions. I’ve had to get information on procedures through the internet and from others that have gone through the same experience.

Very conscientious and caring. Takes time to listen and answer questions. Does his best to get his patients back to as close to normal as medical possible. Up front and honest with his patients.

Dr. Ysasaga has been taking care of my eyes for several years now, and has allowed me to have better sight after almost losing my sight due to an infection in my left eye. He is also helping me with diabetes health. He is so kind and always explains exactly what's needed for my treatment .

Everyone is always professional. As usual, the wait was very long. But, considering the volume of patients handled that's to be expected.
