Dr Diaz is great!
Dr. Diaz had a medical student observer the day I was seen. I appreciated his interaction with her. I could tell that not only was he a good care provider but also an excellent teacher/mentor.
He was understanding, clear in his explanations and relatable.

All good
Dr. Diaz and his staff are better than "Very Good"; they re EXCELLENT!
Dr Diaz is genuine and compassionate. I'm most impressed with the fact that he does not feel that the title Dr means he shouldn't do other jobs. The clinic was short staffed so he actually came out and called me into the office area. That's impressive. Not many doctors would do that- they would feel it's beneath them. Dr Diaz takes time with you. He always asks if you have questions. He answers in an understandable way.
Dr. Diaz is very warm and friendly. He answered all my questions and was very reassuring regarding the pressure in my eyes. He explained that my cataracts did not require attention at this time but encouraged me to contact him if I noticed any changes that concerned me.
Dr. Diaz is exceptional
Dr. Diaz was very professional, listened to my concerns, and responded appropriately. I always have excellent appointments when I see them. The practice is very fortunate to have them!
