GETTING STARTED

Scheduling an Appointment

In order to determine whether you should make an appointment in our clinic, we will need recent, detailed information from your eye doctor.  Typically, it is most helpful to receive this as a narrative letter of referral.  Short of this, a copy of your last comprehensive eye exam will be a good place to start.
All information should be forwarded to our Director of New Patient Affairs either via fax, email or post.

Once it is determined that we should see you in our clinic, Ms. Brenda Diaz will work with you directly to address the insurance/financial aspects of this process, as well as provide referrals for lodging and transportation.  She is available to answer your questions, address your concerns and help you schedule your appointments.
