I was referred to Dr Romero for emergency eye surgery two years ago.. When I met him, the patient way he explained the procedure and answered my questions, eased my mounting anxiety. The surgery went well. Each follow up appointments helped me to see why I could trust him. His office doesn’t run like an assembly line. Everyone is treated with patience and respect. The staff is professional, efficient and yet, friendly. I think that says a lot about Dr Romero.
