Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My Angel in disguise!!
I want to take a moment to share my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care I received during my recent visits to Dr Contreras Office. From the warm and welcoming receptionist to the compassionate manner in which The Dr addressed my needs, I was truly touched by the level of professionalism and kindness exhibited by the Dr and her team. The Dr was very thorough with her explanation of the procedures and reassuring demeanor helped alleviate any concerns I had about my health condition. Following my cataract surgery on both eyes, I was amazed by the remarkable improvement in my vision. Not only was I able to see clearly, but I also noticed a positive impact on my overall health. The results have been nothing short of miraculous, and I cannot thank Dr Contreras enough for the transformative experience. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have Dr Contreras as my physician. Her expertise, coupled with her genuine care for her patients, truly sets her apart.

Awesome doctor and person
I was recommended by my oncologist and Dr. Contreras is one of the best doctors around. She is thorough, never rushed, kind, and has done wonders for my dry eye (GVHD) symptoms.

Absolutely!!!! I have had the best experience with Dr. Marta. It is not only that she has expertise she is also interested to research, in addition to that she is also a very kind and caring person. One really feels like being part of her family. Giselle (not sure of the spelling) is kind and pleasant as well, professional, and accommodating in every way possible. Never a long wait, respectful of the patients time.

Dr Contreras was recommended to me by my oncologists to treat a condition that arose as a side effect from chemotherapy. I have seen her twice, and have recommended her to numerous friends. She is lovely, professional, gentle, thorough and a gem of a find. She is the eye doctor you will cherish and pass along to loved ones.

I had an appointment for my daughter which went very well. When I was making the appointment, the nurse told me that the insurance will not pay for the eye exam and it will cost me $70. I agreed to that. Weeks later, I received a $300 bill. I tried several times to call the office and email them but no reply. Shame
