This office is fantastic. They have now treated me for two eye ulcers and they have been so accommodating in getting me in immediately and reassuring me/informing me of treatment. The doctors are very nice.
Dr. Julio Echegoyen at Gordon Schanzlin did my cataract and glaucoma surgeries. Excellent experience all around, from Kay who managed my case, the office staff, the technicians, the surgery center, Dr. Echegoyen who performed the surgeries, and Dr. Pennell who did the follow-up adjustments on the Light Adjustable Lens. I have always been highly nearsighted, and it is a miracle that I can function without glasses now, so amazing. Got nervous when insurance inexplicably denied coverage on the second eye, but the folks at Gordon Schanzlin were so helpful in getting that worked out. Highly recommend!
Dr Gordon is amazing. I had my eyes worked on more than 20 years ago with him. He has now worked on my daughter and son’s eyes and they are so happy with their new vision they can’t stop talking about it. He truly is the best.
