Tengo que señalar la calidad del Instituto de Ojos.

Esta es mi sexta visita pues me han atendido varias situaciones que tenía con mi vista y aquí las descubrieron.

El trato desde el primer día excelente!!

Ha sido un servicio rápido, puntuales, el personal muy amable, atento y cordial siempre.

La luz tenue en consideración a los pacientes. El distanciamiento y las medidas de salubridad siempre presente.

Los empleados y doctores que me han atendido (que son varios) excelentísimos.

No me arrepiento de haberlos seleccionado a pesar de lo lejos que quedan de mi hogar. Viajé, viajo y seguiré viajando desde Aguadilla para dejar a su cargo mi visión.

Ya tengo fecha para mi próxima cirugía. Y muy importante para mí… puedo escribir este mensaje SIN espejuelos!!!!

Los felicito!!!! No cambien su fórmula de atenciones. 🥰
