Who would you recommend for an eye doctor in Guadalajara ?
Thank you

Dr. Guillermo Avalos is mine, and he'll be doing surgery on me this afternoon, along with retinologist, Dr. Roig. They saved my sight after retinal collapse in one eye, eight years ago, and the other eye is now starting to detach & needs attention.
He has moved to new offices at 1208 Ruben Dario, Providencia, Guadalajara. 01-333-641-0972 or 0981. The building is Torre Ghenza and there is underground parking entered at the front. He's on 4th floor.

I recommend Dr. Andres Padilla, San Pablo Eye Clinic 1200 Avenida Americas. Excellent reputation and speaks English. Tel: 3833-7373 or 3833-7474

has anyone been to dr. pinto? what do you think? he is local.

We second RV Gringo's recommendation for Dr. Avalos. He has his own clinic for operations.

Dr. Pint does not operate a clinic here, so surgery has to be done in Guad. It is very important to have an operating room that is not used for other things (e.g. colonoscopies) and so far no one had built one here altho Dr. Pint has talked about doing so.

i had called them last month. & the receptionist said he was "in surgery". guess they use guad. i hear they are good for eyeglasses.

His name is Dr.Pinto. We used him for a regular eye exam. He is very nice and seems knowledgable. I wear contacts and my husband wears glasses. We would use him again.

[manny]

spoke w/his wife. they are the only optician who uses the good lab in mexico city. the other optica who uses this lab is "kauffman's" in guad. its 1st class quality, thats a good sign.

Dr.Pinto is an ophthalmologist, a doctor treating diseases of the eyes and performing surgeries of the eyes.

Dr.Pinto moved to Chapala from Guadalajara where he and his father, also an eye doctor, were very well
known. He stil has some of his old Guadalajara patients come to Chapala for their check ups.

My advice is to go to Guad for anything serious or see the opthamologist who comes to Dermika twice a week. Her name is also Dra. Monica so you will need to clarify you want the eye doctor. She comes highly recommended.

[manny]

yes guad. drs for eye diseases. pinto for glasses.

Dr. Vargas is a Guad ophthalmologist who comes to Ajijic Clinic and he's a great doctor.

[rzrbk]

Please provide an address and/or phone number for Dr. Pinto in Chapala. Also info on what days and where to make an appointment to see Dr. Vargas.

Gracias

[maggilu]

For Dr. Vargas, call Ajijic Clinic. The receptionist speaks English and will know his schedule.

I have used Dr Pinto for eye infections etc, but when it came to a detached retina, he referef me to a doctor in Guad Dr Rene Santillon Lomas who has an office at hosp Angeles del Carmen and is manager of the ProVista Clinin in Guad. His father was from Oklahoma so his English is flawless PM me if you want his cell phone number. He has operated on me for retina and cataracts and is now treating me for glaucoma. he has numerous contacts when specialized tests etc are required (as I am sure they all do). The Ruben Dario area seems to be the eye surgeon center for Guad.
