"I am very satisfied with my service at Vision Mendez. All the staff speak perfect English, their facility was very clean, and the service was extremely efficient. Dr. Mendez was very patient, caring, and attended to all my needs during the procedure. The procedure its self was very easy. I just laid there and stared at a light and followed Dr. Mendez' instructions. Within 30 minutes, I was able to see well enough to walk around outside at night, and by the next morning, I was seeing everything well."
"Incredible service. Came in as a walking and was seen by a doctor in 20 min. Very informative, very clear about what procedures they were doing and why they were doing them. I ended up needing an x-Ray and found out I had a partial detached retina. Doctor explained to me what I needed for treatment and I was off to the races. Very easy going people, plenty of people here whom speak English for my English speaking folks. Will definitely recommend them in the future!"

"More than a year ago, I underwent a Chalazion treatment at Vision Mendes, and I feel compelled to share my experience. The treatment, which involved an internal opening, resulted in a significant complication: an internal scar beneath my eyelid that caused constant irritation. For nearly five months, I suffered from an intense burning sensation that affected not only my vision but also my overall well-being. This persistent discomfort disrupted my nervous system because too much stress and ultimately led to my inability to work, costing me my job due to the strain of using a computer. I often found myself wishing to sleep just to escape the pain of the unrelenting scar. What concerns me most is that Dr. Mendez never informed me of these possible side effects. Instead, he offered a light therapy solution—a treatment I gratefully declined. His failure to disclose such critical risks reflects a severe lack of ethical responsibility. Furthermore, despite scheduling follow-up appointments, my concerns were repeatedly ignored. On three separate occasions, I waited over an hour for a proper examination; the final appointment lasted only 15 minutes, with no thorough check-up or proper care provided. I share my story in hopes that others will not endure a similar ordeal. I strongly advise potential patients to seek alternative options and warn anyone considering treatment at Vision Mendes: their negligence and lack of ethical commitment could have serious, life-altering consequences."
"Dr. Medina was awesome. Came in for a consult. He truly had my best interest at heart - recommend SMILE procedure and explained why. Staff was awesome. 5 weeks out and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the result. We will be back for my wire at some point!"
