Dr. Richard Lazaro, MD

I had cataract removal in 2014. I have had excellent results with no problems since. I went from being extremely nearsighted to 20/40 in one eye and 20/80 in the other. For me, Dr. Lazaro has truly been a miracle worker.

Competent and friendly staff. Dr Lazaro was very professional and easy to talk with in spite of my hearing difficulty. I liked him right away. Will continue to go there for my eye care.

I agree. His office should be picking up calls and answering questions regarding prescriptions that need to be filled. This is absolutely unacceptable.

On 3/30 was told office was closed until further notice by an answering service who (not by her own fault) had no further information period. The good doctor could at least employ 1 or 2 people to answer patients questions by phone during this critical time. Bad form Dr Lazaro.

Professional, competent, friendly staff and doctor. Outcome of surgery was amazing!

I have been a patient of Dr Lazaro’s for several years. Dr Lazaro is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you have. He has a nice bedside manner and has a way to put you at ease. His staff is very friendly and polite. They as well will answer any questions you may have. It is true you may have a bit of a wait to be seen. But this is because there are a lot of patients who come to see the doctor and he does take the time to consult with his patients. All in all that’s a good thing. There aren’t a lot of doctors who take the time to answer all your questions and can put you at ease. I recently had cataract surgery with excellent results. If you need cataract surgery he’s the man you want to perform the surgery.

I wrote a review early. Seems to me Dr. Lazaro’s front office relies on office policy to not do thier work. I don’t know this doctor, but am sure he’s a good doctor, but his office staff needs much needed common sense training...Our primary doctor was appalled.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes. To be able to see colors and distance without glasses is wonderful. Dr. Lazaro did a great job all the way around.

Professional, thorough, completely honest, and knowledgable. He also has a great personality and is very easy to speak with. He listens, and he doesn't cheat you. Five stars, Absolutely!

Thorough, professional and engaging... with a sense of humor which is always a plus. Doesn't rush you thru to get you out the door. Takes time to thoroughly discuss finding and options. Not only professionally knowledgeable, he's the kind of guy you love to have dinner with.. For a first time patient my experience was far beyond my expectation.

I was hesitant about having my cataract removed but after meeting Dr. Lazaro and his staff I was placed at ease and eager to have the procedure done. It turned out wonderful and I can now see again! Thank you Dr. Lazaro and thanks to all your wonderful staff! Dr. Lazaro and his staff are all very professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone else!

First time going here. Dr. Lazaro is a doll. So friendly and puts you at ease immediately. Very knowledgeable and explains things in a laymans terms when needed. So impressed with him and his staff! All were extremely helpful, friendly, and willing to answer any and all questions you may have. I HIGHLY recommend him. A truly wonderful experience!

Had cataract surgery on May 16, 2017, back today for follow up. Would recommend Dr Lazaro practice to others. Very professional yet patient friendly office. Nurses and staff are well trained and willing to answer questions. Dr. Lazaro extremely approachable and capable, can tell because about his patients.

Diagnosed Glaucoma and ordered eye drops that have managed successfully. I sent him many patients when I was working in Las Cruces. The ONLY person I would recommend!
