I normally do not give Very Good rates as it leaves no room for improvement, however with this appointment everything was excellent.

I was impressed with doctor's follow-thru on my concerns with alpha-gal reactions to any medications. Both he and pharmacist verified two medications for use, he informed me his study on AG ocular reaction cases,I had no concerns.

Dr. Valenzuela answered all of my many questions pertaining to my extensive medical history prior to coming to Vanderbilt and we had an extensive discussion regarding the options I have moving forward with surgery and treatment.

Doctor Valenzuela was very cordial in the examination of my eyes and recommended having laser therapy to remove scarring from the cataract surgery done at the local optical Dr in my town He worked me in the schedule and I'm so happy he did I plan to tell anyone to make an appointment with him
