"I want to sincerely thank Doctors Roberto and Roger Zaldivar for the successful intraocular implant surgery in both my eyes. My gratitude extends to all the staff: from the receptionists and administrative team to the surgical assistants. Thank you for your professionalism and the excellent care I received."
"I have no words to express my gratitude to the Zaldívar Doctors. Everything was impeccable, from the reception area to the building itself, down to the last detail. I felt supported at all times by the reception staff, the doctors in the consulting rooms, the operating room personnel, and especially by the Zaldívar Doctors. I had surgery one day with Dr. Roger and the next with Dr. Roberto; both were impeccable, incredibly kind and friendly, and they instilled a sense of calm in me throughout. Thank you!!! Thank you so much!! To all the staff at the Zaldívar Institute, and to the Doctors for changing my life!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"
"Honestly, a wonderful experience. The staff provided excellent, compassionate care, and the procedures are performed personally by Zaldivar, father and son, which gives each patient a great sense of security. Excellent support from the doorman to the medical team. Everyone was very kind. Highly recommended, and I regret not having done so sooner. Heartfelt greetings to the entire team."
"My experience with their WhatsApp support was terrible. I understand they can't guarantee results without a medical consultation, but I was shocked that they couldn't provide ANY guidance whatsoever on the outcomes of the procedures, not even statistically. They refused to give any information. I only asked for basic information to decide if it was worth proceeding with a paid consultation and taking on the risks of the surgery. The repeated response was that they "didn't know," which is quite unclear for a specialized clinic. I expected at least some preliminary guidance to make an informed decision, but they refuse to inform their clients. Very unacceptable."
"Hello, my name is Patricio Irigoyen, I'm 38 years old, and I wanted to share my experience at Zaldivar. Since childhood, I've had very limited vision in my right eye, and I began losing vision in my left. I want to thank the Zaldivar Institute because my life changed forever after the surgery; I fully recovered my vision. I want to highlight the quality of care from all the staff, and the support throughout the surgical and post-surgical process, which was excellent!"
