Friendly and professional staff. I trust them.
Effective at explaining current eye conditions and options for treatment. Felt treated as a human being and not solely as a "patient".
Amazing experience and amazing attention to detail. Highly recommend.
Dr . Gomez was excellent! She was thorough, listened to our input and explained in detail. Hailey, who did the testing, was competent, easy to work with, explained things well. A good experience.
It is a very nice place. The doctors and staff are very friendly and helpful. I went to another Laser company prior to Dell's. This other company had commerals stating that they had over 80 years of combined experience. Well, maybe they do but their prices were much higher. Dell Laser has more prices tiers to chose from, plus I trusted the doctors more. I recommend them.
Easy Peasy. Drs. Dell and Cunningham are fantastic. Clear and concise describes the entire team From the 1 st consultation thru the surgery I was given all the info and guidance I needed to make this process a breeze . The Dell Laser Center is incredible in every aspect .
The staff and doctors are always friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Cunningham fixed my dry eye!
If you need an eye procedure, Dell is THE place. The Doctors, the staff are knowledgeable and very friendly!!!
I actually love this place. All the people I’ve come in contact with there are so kind and welcoming and Dr. Varu and Marisol Gomez are absolute stars. I recommend this practice to everyone.
