I am committed to providing individualized and compassionate care to my patients. I feel it is important to first educate my patients about their eye disorders and then discuss any goals or expectations we both may have. With this mutual foundation, we can then work together to formulate a treatment plan for the best patient outcomes. Effective communication is at the core of this endeavor, and it allows me to build trusting and lasting relationships with my patients. I feel incredibly privileged to practice ophthalmology, a field that carries significant impact in our patients’ daily lives, and my goal is to continue to earn that privilege every day.

I had to wait 3 months for an appointment with Dr. Carballo. She brought up several issues with my eyes and suggested seeing and ophthalmologist as well as providing me with information on several for my consideration. She was knowledgeable and personable. Other than the long wait for an appointment, I was pleased with my visit.
After surgery it was like looking thru a white film which went away after 3 days But now it feels like something is in my eye in the right corner it's kind of annoying I did wear cheaters which helped It's almost like my eyelid is drooping down over that corner of my eye I don't know what I should do about itI liked my doctor and hope my sight keeps improving Thank you
