El Dr. Carlos Vergés me operó en dos ocasiones: la primera, de miopía y astigmatismo, y la segunda de un accidente ocular que tuve al desgarrarme la córnea. En ambas operaciones su trato fue muy cercano y profesional. Siempre me transmitió mucha tranquilidad y seguridad. Quedé muy contenta y agradecida con las dos experiencias.

Llevo mas de 20 años tratàndome con el dr. Carlos Verges.
Me ha operado en tres ocasiones y es que no tengo palabras para expresar lo excelente que es como persona y como profesional.
De hecho mi hija mayor quiere operarse de miopia y ella misma tiene claro que va a ser el dr. Verges ya que ha ido viviendo toda mi experiencia y a visto los excelentes resultados que he tenido con las intervenciones que me a realizado.
Dr. Verges, le debo mis ojos jajaja y espero que siempre este ahi para mis proximas intervenciones.
Muchisimas gracias y saludos!
Silvia Mesa.

Experiencia horrible. Perdida de tiempo y dinero
Tratamiento y cirugía me dejaron peor de lo que estaba.

El doctor Vergés y su equipo están en la cumbre de la oftalmología mundial. Acudir a su consulta fue la mejor decisión de mi vida. Tras dos meses de tratamientos me ha dado una calidad de vida inimaginable, me ha dado ganas de vivir y una visión fantástica, tras 50 años de sufrimiento.
Podría mejorar:
En mi caso, visto el resultado de la operación de cataratas previo el tratamiento del síndrome de ojos secos, ya nada se puede mejorar puesto que es inmejorable. Sinceramente, creo que debería ser propuesto para el Premio Nobel de Medicina.
