Tirso Lara's Online Review Report Card

When you have issues with your eyes it can be very scary and anxiety inducing. If you’re reading this because you were referred by another Dr and debating whether you’re going to make the appointment, please go! Dr Lara is not only very skilled and knowledgeable, but calming, he takes time to answer questions and explain and even give reassurances over and over. Every single staff member that I’ve interacted with have been so helpful, friendly and patient. I’ve been a patient for about 18 months and have only had great service. I’ve also met 2 unrelated optometrists during that time for vision tests and when I’ve mentioned Dr Lara as my specialist they have both told me how great he is an how well known he is in the eye doc community.

Excelente atención, explica con claridad su diagnóstico.gracias por su excelente servicio

Excellent doctor, very professional and caring.

Dr Lara is the most patient and caring doctor I've seen. He explains everything in detail and is thorough in his explanations.

I was diagnosed with bilateral macular holes. Dr. Lara spent a lot of time explaining the surgery and the recovery. I had them done a month apart so I had many visits to his office. HIs office staff was amazing and helpful. Dr. Lara answered the many questions I had and never made me fell rushed. As a former Operating Room RN I was thoroughly impressed with his demeanor in the OR. He was respectful of the nurses and the care I received was impeccable. I would definitely recommend him as your eye surgeon.

I had a retina reattachment surgery few years ago, back in Texas, and when I moved here I did not pass the driver license vision test. I thought my retina was giving me problems again. I did a google search and I saw Dr. Lara's credentials and I got an appointment with him. I am glad I picked him, because he is such a professional and kind person. I recommend him if you are having retinal problems.

I have diabetes type 1 for approximately 30 years plus and my eyes were in very bad condition when I was referred to Dr. Lara for treatment. Well, it's been over 5 years with him and my eyes are a lot better and stable. He is kind and has no problem talking over the diagnosis with his Patient's and the different types of options for the particular problem. He has been a saver for me and my eyes and I am glad I was able to receive treatment by such a professional in his field. I recommend him and everyone at the Firm. Don't waste time in making a decision to care for your eyes. Go with the best. I did.

Dr Lara is probably a decent doctor for most conditions. He did however, repeatedly examine me for some severe problems and told me point blank that I had a "benign brain tumor." In fact, it was normal tension glaucoma which is a fairly common condition, although not the predominant one. I was left with no support or follow-up after that diagnosis. Thankfully, I went immediately to Bascom Palmer and in one day they were able to correctly diagnose it, and that was after 4 visits to the FLEI!!! Dr. Epstein scheduled me for eyelid surgery and I was the one to cancel that because droopy eyes was obviously not the problem. Save your eyes and go to BP or another reputable institution. By the way, i had cataract surgery here by Dr. Skolnick and it was good. So stick to cataract or similar surgeries not diagnosis here.

Excellent service!!!!

My Ophthalmologist sent me to Dr Lara after determining that I had a retinal detachment. I was sent directly to his office with no appointment, but Dr. Lara fit me in immediately and performed surgery that afternoon. That was on a Friday and he had me come back the next day, on a Saturday, taking time out on his day off, to check on me. In the follow-up appointments, Dr. Lara and his staff were wonderful, caring and professional. I would recommend Dr. Lara to anyone who is having similar issues. Again, thank you Dr. Lara for saving the sight in my eye! You are the best. Sincerely, Steven Sumlin
