My concerns were not at all addressed and I felt like the appointment was a waste of my time.

Highly recommend Dr. Valenzuela. Very professional and knowledgeable. He provides thoughtful explanations and I never feel rushed. I would recommend him for family, friends, and colleagues. .

Physician consulted Retina Surgeon mid-appointment to develop treatment plan. Only at Vanderbilt! Just not a feasible option at other health systems. Wow!

It was my first time with Dr. Valenzuela, though I have been with the VU Eye Institute for years. He is a keeper!

Dr Valenzuela was and is always excellent and unless I leave Vanderbiltx I will continue with him as my eye doctor. He is top notch. I can't ask for a better doctor.
