Hear From Our Patients

This Eye Doctor is WONDERFUL, kind, engaging, and answers your questions. I would highly recommend him. He has the most beautiful smile. This is the first Eye Doctor that I have been to that really looks happy to see his patient.

Been a patient at SW eye care for many many years and yesterday I met Dr. Adams and was extremely impressed by him. Warm, professional and very well informed. He took his time, listened to me, reviewed the tests his assistant gave me. When we finished our meeting I left the office with a feeling of well being and the comfort of knowing I was in good hands.

My wife and I have both been seeing Dr. Paul Sanchez for several years, and he did cataract surgery on both of us. Dr. Sanchez and his entire crew have done an excellent job in taking care of us. Obvious expertise in care along with a uniformly congenial staff, all in an efficiently organized and well-run office. Our thanks to everyone in the office.

I was referred to Dr. Thomas Gillette, MD because he specializes in treating dry eyes. I was favorably impressed after my initial appointment. After Dr. Gillette examined my eyes, he prescribed a treatment plan which includes two prescription medications. I’m scheduled for a follow-up appointment in several weeks. I’m hopeful that this treatment will resolve my dry eye issues.

My experience with Southwest Eyecare for my first visit was absolutely wonderful. Dr Adams was professional, kind, and took all the time I needed to ask questions and explain in detail my exam and future treatments. I was also treated exceptionally well by all the staff I was assisted by, including Isreal, who was amazingly patient, kind, professional, and who put me at ease during my exams. I will absolutely recommend Southwest Eyecare and Dr Adams to anyone looking for eye health and well being. Thank you!

I was referred to Southwest Eye Care for cataract surgery. Doctor Downs was my physician. I was impressed with him and the staff. Everyone was professional and courteous. The results of my surgery were excellent. I am very grateful for the care and expertise I received. I highly recommend this practice for eye care.
