"Highly recommended ophthalmology clinic. I had refractive surgery and the experience was completely satisfactory. From the initial evaluation to the follow-up, the treatment was professional, clear, and careful. The staff explained each step of the procedure, answered all my questions, and gave me confidence at all times. The surgery was quick, safe, and with excellent results. The facilities have modern equipment and provide top-level medical care. Without a doubt, a reliable option for anyone looking to correct their vision safely and professionally."

"This is the right place for a professional optical evaluation with top equipment. This is new, do not be confused with The Conde de Valenciana Foundation Ophthalmology Institute which is from 1976 and is a Private Assistance Institution in the downtown of Mexico City."
