Dr. Alfaro is professional and has a caring attitude.
Friendly staff and professional
I feel that he was rushed and didn't really take the time to carefully examine my eye after retina reattachment surgery done by Dr. Brown.
The office staff is cordial yet efficient. Dr Alfaro is also friendly and has answered any questions I have had; I am confident I am receiving good medical guidance..
He’s very kind and informative. I always enjoy seeing Dr Alfaro
Always satisfied with Dr Alfaro and his staff. 👍👍👍👍
