Dr Arango is a very good Opthalmologist and speaks perfect english.
Feb 01 2023
I initially booked a consultation for lasik for both myself and my wife. :During my consultation, he told me that it would be a good idea to fix my astigmatisms which I agreed with. He told my wife that the surgery wouldn't be necessary for her so don't worry about it. That shows a lot of integrity. Whereas most doctors would simply take your money, he actually cares about his patients and will not do something that is unnecessary for an extra buck.
My case was kind of tough and I could tell that he was very passionate about getting it right. He truly cares about his work. I am sitting here writing this review exactly 8 days after surgery and my vision is starting to lock in. Lasik recovery is different for everyone and mine has taken 8 days to start to stabilize.
My lasik was $1380 out the door with all the tests and medications and fees included. In the US it would have been around 5-8k for the same result.
Overall, I'm very pleased with Dr Arango and the surgery and recommend him to people from the US looking for a good value and precise surgery from a very good doctor. -
