Patient Reviews
Nov 03, 2016
On Sunday of Labor Day weekend I had vitreous detachment that my ophthalmologist said had resulted in a retinal tear. He contacted Dr. Vallar to see if he could perform emergency laser surgery. Dr. Vallar agreed to meet me at his office that Sunday, where he performed the laser surgery. I was very grateful that he took time off on a holiday weekend to perform this urgent procedure. I cannot recommend Dr. Vallar highly enough.
