Jackie and Sheila are the most polite front desk employees. Always making me feel welcomed. Dr Moreira is caring, knowledgeable and professional.
Dr Moreira and her team made this a painless process (cataract surgery) and took time to explain the rationale for laser assisted surgery and the multi focal lens Highly recommended
Always a great experience. There's a newer receptionist there Mardally that's really great. Very professional and kind. Very helpful. Great team.
Excellence! Dr.Moreira has been most professional in every way. Being diabetic it has been necessary to follow her supplement advice, many years now, my eye health and eyesight has been saved and has been receiving a report of "healthy" for four years in a row now! Lasix surgery was performed five years ago, my eyesight was getting cloudy to my surprise, after the surgery I now have super clear vision, so clear that I'm mostly wearing sunglasses in the sun! Bottom line - EXCELLENCE!
My experience with Dr Moreira and the entire Nielsen Eye Center, at the Cataract Laser Center, was outstanding! Very professional, very caring, and they explained everything that was going to happen. I was completely relaxed and trusting of the whole procedure.
Great annual visit! The office runs efficiently and the staff are polite and accommodating. Mardally was very helpful checking my insurance and scheduling my appointments. I tell everyone to use Nielsen Eye Center!
I'm so impressed by doctor Moreira. She is very professional and dedicated to helping her patients. Just had my right eye done, (my left was done 2 weeks ago) not easy with my severe dry eye condition. What a difference! I have 20/20 vision again!!! Thank you so much, Dr. Moreira. You are so gifted and beautiful. You made a difference in my life!
Dr. Helen Moreira was not only professional and skilled in her performance but she was reassuring, warm, kind and sensitive to my concerns. She took the time to listen and answered my questions with a sense of authentic compassion. She made it more comfortable for me to make the tough decision to have the laser surgery on my eyes which I had been afraid to do. In fact, Her entire staff at Nielsen Eye Center were professional, so warm, kind and assured me that I would be ok. Their collective actions and working together as a team to ensure a positive outcome were impressive. I stand in awe and gratitude to all the staff. I put my trust in you, my eyes in your care and you exceeded my expectations. Thank you sincerely, for the strategic care you afforded me. God bless you Dr Moreira and your staff as you continue to care for the eye sight of so many people who need you and your expertise. May He keep you in perfect health as you continue to fulfill your destiny. A grateful patient, Duchess
Dr. Moreira and the incredible team at Nielsen were fantastic. The surgery was smooth and incredibly efficient. Dr Moreira performed cataract surgery on both eyes and followed up with a call in the evening to check how i frlt things had gone. If you need the surgery know you will be in great hands with Dr. Moreira
I received excellent care from Dr. Moreira and the whole Nielsen Eye team. She and her team were highly recommended to me, and I understand why. Professional, compassionate, top notch care. Their genuine care for their patients showed during each office visit and especially during the outpatient cataract surgery procedure. I couldn’t be happier with the treatment they provided.
