Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring and Knowledgeable.
Dr. Mares is very caring and knowledgeable. He’s personable and treats the whole patient. He is a top-notch ophthalmologist and we have been very pleased with his services. My dad always looked forward to his visits with Dr. Mares. He always made dad feel special and we are grateful for that!

Sad ending at Eye Associates
After seeing Dr. Mares for 30 years for glaucoma, I was told there was nothing else that could be done. I was given no referral, etc. Luckily a friend. who had gone to Mares and had 3 unsuccessful surgeries, told me about a doctor in El Paso who he had switched to. I am now seeing him and getting some relief.
