Dr. Amescua is the best physician I've ever had. He is scientific, exploratory, thorough, and trustworthy. I wish he had been my cornea surgeon/doctor. Had that been the case, I'm confident my eye and my eyesight would be in good shape. However, he was heroic in his efforts.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/23/2024
Dr. Amescua was sharp, professional, and responded to all of my questions and concerns. He gave me a result that was beyond anything I could have hoped for. I no longer need reading glasses, which is a huge improvement in my quality of life.

Dr. AMESCUA took time to explain the post-operative status. He was very patient with my questions and was reassuring. He has made sure that he sees me in a timely fashion when a problem arises. I have been Impressed that he has quickly responded to my emailed concerns. Dr.AMESCUA is head and shoulders above many of the physicians I have been treated by in the past year. He is professional, caring, extremely knowledgeable and seems to be a mentor who treats the people who he works with and teaches with respect. A rare find in today's practice of medicine. Lucky for me, I have been in his care for over 6 years.
