My girlfriend and I made a trip to Mexicali to visit an old friend. What was supposed to be a day…read moretrip turned into an overnight adventure. Since neither of us packed in anticipation of spending the night here, we decided to stop by this pharmacy for needed supplies. This pharmacy is available through their window service after-hours. However, the worker that evening saw that I'm trustworthy, and let me in to pick out what I needed. After getting some supplies for my girlfriend and I, I proceeded to check out. This place had just about everything I needed that day. The place is large, wel-lit, clean, and ran by nice people. It is not far from Mexicali's main avenue, which is the center point of just about everything in this fine small town. This pharmacy did its job, and did it well.

My husband and I needed a new eye exam and glasses and Costco only has an optometrist on weekends…read more We really liked the optometrist at Costco last time in a different city so I thought I'd try it, here, in El Centro. We made an appointment but stopped in Costco early to get a few things-like anyone only gets a FEW things at Costco. We went by the optometry office and they had an opening immediately so took them. We filled out the form and were taken right away to do a couple tests. The doctor brought me in and the visit was quick. I brought up a problem I had with my last glasses that caused my eye to strain. He didn't really answer me. My husband went in and was also quick. [We weren't having the glaucoma test that day where they have to dilate your eyes so it was quicker than regular] We got our prescriptions and went out to the eye glass counter. Hubs had picked his glasses before so he went up to the counter first. I spoke to an associate who looked up my record and checked a few things on my last glasses and distance of my pupils. The measurements came out close enough to my last prescription (and new one too) so she had me talk to the doctor one more time to discuss the problem. He discussed it with me and said I shouldn't have a problem with the new one. So I ordered new glasses and they will come in in 5-7 days. They came in less than that and the glasses are absolutely PERFECT! The prescription is perfect and I have no more pulling on my left eye! I am so happy with my new prescription and glasses. I do recommend Guru Sharma for your optometry needs. He does a great job on testing your eyes. Just make sure you go over any questions you may have so you get all the answers.

This pharmacy sits across the street from Hotel Lucerna in Mexicali. You can't miss it, it is a…read morebrightly lit place that is clean and modern. The staff here are attentive and friendly. There is a window for an after-hours pharmacy run. You can get a little bit of everything you may need for a night during a spur-of-the-moment trip to Mexicali. If you are a patient at a medical center in the city, then you can also get your prescriptions filled here. There is also a decent selection of medical supplies. I've stopped by this place to buy miscellaneous toiletries during my weekend trips here with the girlfriend. On my most recent trip, my girlfriend had a medical procedure done in this city, so I came here to get some medical supplies for her. There are about 8 parking spots at the front of the pharmacy, but I've never had an issue with parking here. There is more parking along the street, adjacent to the property, so this shouldn't really be an issue at all. This is a great stop for toiletries, beverages, snacks, and medications. If you need any of the above, and you find yourself in Mexicali, then this place is a good option.

Who would have thought a legit LASIK place would exist in the Valley?…read more I was born and raised in LA, and if there's one thing I've learned about the Valley... it's that finding a good doctor sometimes feels like winning the lottery. Because of that, I usually don't even bother seeing doctors locally -- it's just too hard to find someone who actually cares. I've wanted LASIK for YEARS. But every single time I planned it... I was pregnant. ‍ Timing is everything, apparently. Before finally committing, I went to two consultations in San Diego -- one at LASIK MD (which is now closed) and another in La Jolla. Both quoted me around $5k-$6k. After doing what can only be described as FBI-level research (Reddit, reviews, forums, probably a conspiracy board or two), I discovered that one of the best LASIK doctors actually works out of the Valley a few days a month. Wait... what?! In this Valley? I went in for my free consultation with Patty, who was super helpful. She explained that the actual surgery is done in San Diego, but all the pre-op and post-op appointments can be done locally in the Valley. Honestly, that's a perfect setup. Let's be real: this is LASIK. If someone messes up even a little... you go blind. So saying I did "extensive research" is an understatement. I read horror stories, success stories, stories about people seeing halos, UFOs, their ex's red flags -- everything. Surgery day came and... zero wait. None. I was shocked. The procedure itself was painless and took maybe 3 minutes. I've had longer Starbucks orders. For context, I was considered legally blind before. I've worn glasses since I can remember. Now I have perfect vision and it still feels weird. I keep reaching for glasses that don't exist anymore. No more wiping oily fingerprints off my lenses thanks to my kids. No more foggy glasses. No more smudges. No more "where did I leave my glasses" panic at 6 AM. Huge shoutout to Dr. IP and his team. I never had to wait, the staff was amazing, and the entire process was smooth. Also... why don't they advertise this more?! This is honestly life-changing. Best part: No side effects. No pain. No dry eyes. No more astigmatism. No light sensitivity. I took a nap after surgery and about 4 hours later I could already see pretty clearly. The next day it was even sharper. Imagine waking up and just... seeing. No glasses. No contacts. No squinting like a confused raccoon. 10/10 would laser my eyeballs again.

The person that administered the eye drops for dilation also put way too much in and I wasn't able to get anything done the entire day. Everything about this place sucks and I'm never going back. I'm not letting anyone in my family go here either.
