    Dr Martèn & her entire staff know how to treat their patients with compassion, respect & with the utmost professionalism that I have ever witnessed among all industries. This is the place you need to visit should you have any issues with your eyes. Dr Martèn ( Dr. Cunningham) also love art, you can see it on the walls, so she loves the human eye. I love the art in the office, its not the most expensive, but it is not the cheapest either. I would love to upgrade the pieces here, however, there is no need, the art is perfect for the type of office it is, it serves a purpose & that it is Strategically placed for the pleasure of their patients. The Cuban Dr. With the beard or goat tee is a Professional, I cannot begin to express the conversation he sared with me about the foundr of this location and Dr Martèn's turn key transition of this office. SHOULD YOU BE IN THE MARKET TO ACQUIRE A CONTEMPORARY ART PIECE, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW OR MESSAGE ME. YOU WISH IS MY COMMAND THIS IS 1900-SUPREME & I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE. STAY THURSHTY MY FRIENDS

    Checked in on time at noon for cataract surgery for my wife. I sat in waiting room with my wife who had been fasting and without liquids since the night before as required. It was 4pm when my wife was at last called to go in for the 20 minute surgery. It is 5:30 now and she is still not out. Complete disrespect for patient time. This sort of thing ALWAYS happens at her office but it’s shocking that they manage to severely overbook surgery as well.

    Today I had my second cataract surgery. I am very pleased with the results. Dr. Lisa Marten is an excellent ophthalmologist and surgeon.

    This was my first visit with South Texas Eye Institute. After waiting for over an hour I decided to cancel my appointment and leave. I will find another optomologist that does not overbook. The staff was kind and courteous I give them 5 stars.

    I had cataract surgery on both eyes in the last 3 weeks. I am very happy with the results. My vision is better than it has been in 50 years! No more glasses for distance!😎

    This eye doctor recently decided to dump all her Humana Medicare accounts and patients out to the street. No warning or help with getting another ophthalmologist. I'd been a patient of Dr. Lisa Marten for over 1o years. Now I'm left without my much needed eye surgery. Be careful.

    I chose to see Dr Marten because I heard she is a corneal specialist & I have a myriad of issues that require specialized care. I was impressed with the Dr ONCE I got to see her, but the wait time in this clinic is ridiculous. I waited 90 minutes in the front office before being called back for preliminary exams after which I got to wait another hour before Dr Marten saw me. Dr Perez did offer to see me, but I respectfully declined; I made my appt with Dr Marten FOR A REASON - He seems like a very nice man & is a good general ophamalogist, I'm sure,but I NEED A SPECIALIST! Dr Marten & I discussed surgery but it sounds much more complicated than I'd ever considered so I'm still not sure. She seems very competent & aware,. but if you come to this clinic, please reserve a good chunk of your day. Everyone from office staff to medical personnel was very nice & courteous but I wonderif there is a problem with double booking when I was met with a sign on the desk that told me to expect an hour wait. An 11:20 appt should never not be seen till after 3:00 - that was my experience at South Tx Eye Institute Tuesday, Aug 24. Additionally, medication was supposed to be called in that day but as of today (5 days later) Walgreens has received no order. I want my eyes & my time to matter to whatever clinic I choose to entrust them with. 6 days later I called back to check on my medication only to speak to a tech who said there was no record of any RX in my file. A second call resulted in a desk clerk telling me a lab tech was not available but would call back by the end of the day.. 36 hours later, I have heard from no one, so I've still not received the RX Dr Marten said I needed. I'm not sure where the breakdown occurred - Did she fail to notate it in my file, or did med techs fail to call it in? Either way, I refer back to my earlier statement; "I want my eyes to matter more than this", I think I'll be finding another corneal specialist. My routine ophalmalogist recommended the drs at Focal Point Vision, I'll definitely be giving them a call. I've loist faith in South TX Eye Institute. I had red flags from the beginning when they took no medical history or asked what other medications I was on. These things are very important to eye health & every health professional I've ever seen has asked these questions.
