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.

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.

Dr. Edward Ainza is hands down the best dentist in the Imperial Valley!…read more I was visiting from San Diego-- late on a Friday night had a dental emergency after biting into a saladito from my Mexicali Margarita at B&B. I called every dental office's after hours line and I either got no answer or the response, "I didn't do the original work so I can't help you." The next morning I kept calling and no one would help me. Finally, Dr. Ainza not only answered but canceled his plans to see me. He was professional, compassionate, and made sure I left his office with the greatest possible outcome. His assistant Sapphire, also pausing her Saturday morning, was amazing! I am incredibly grateful that Sapphire and Dr. Ainza were willing to help me when no one else would. The level of care of I given far exceeds any rating system! Infinite stars!

I have been going to him for a couple of years now for Multiple Sclerosis and I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He is thorough in his exams, he takes the time to listen, he's not like most doctors out there. He has picked up on issues my primary care doctor overlooked and addressed them. His staff are sweet, you can tell they are hand picked. Things are done quickly, they are organized, efficient, polite, and considerate. If you need a neurologist, he's your pick. I don't like most doctors, I adore this man. If I could give he and his entire staff 20 stars, I would.
