This entire group is wonderful BUT Dr Medina is my doctor and I would highly rec him to anyone looking for a caring, patient, knowledgeable eye dr. He spent many visits w/me to get to the bottom of my problem and I am now having great results from his care. The staff is caring and wait time is usually minimal. Appointments are also easy to schedule.
