Patient Reviews
Nov 02, 2021
Dr. Puente has treated my eyes for possible infection & retinal tear/detachment. He is a wonderful doctor with a great staff. Nearly always on time, even though it’s common for emergencies to pop up that take extra time. I’ve met a couple of the other doctors in this group, & they also impressed me so much with the lengths they go to protect my vision. During the middle of pandemic before vaccines or testing were available? Didn’t stop them from having their face inches from mine, to treat my condition. Calls on weekend or late Friday afternoon when my vision changed or I experienced what I thought was pinkeye? They insisted I come to their nearest office right away. They are so devoted! And they are all rated by other local doctors as “Top Doctors.” No one should have any hesitancy if they have an emergency & are referred to any of these physicians, especially Dr. Puente. The best thing is that both the practice & patients are very diverse; everyone is treated kindly no matter what.
