Great service,. Takes the time to answer any concerns . Would definitely recommend.
Dr. Romero is the best from eye surgery. To yearly follow ups, I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Always a pleasure to see Dr. Romero He’s professional and thorough… Especially enjoy the new machine they have to check eyes and do eye chart Wait time could be improved.
Overall, I am pleased with my encounters at the office . Time is of the essence. I get it. But, when dealing with seniors, you have to have a little more patience. The Technician in the room on the left side of the waiting room is a little rough. Grabs your head like a basketball. Once you sit down, he doesn’t give you a chance to get acclimated to the chair and eye machine. Another technician needs to perfect his eye drop technique. He says put your head back, yet the chair is up against the wall. This in turn leads to several unsuccessful attempts to apply the drops. Please note, these are positive comments. We all need room for improvement. I will continue to go to Dr Romero.
Extremely knowledgeable and very patient oriented.
Too long of a wait., 2 1/2 hours for the appointment. The doctor had a procedure that went into my appointment time.
Kind and generous of spirit. Good doctor patient relationship
