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.

Best Eye Doctor in the entire world
We have seen Dr Berrocal 6 times. My husband for 2 cataracts and then two macular holes and then it was my turn and two cataracts. Today was my last visit. If you have to wait for an appointment .... WAIT. she is busy but the best are always busy. I would never go to anyone else. I also have to fly from St Thomas US Virgin Islands to see her in Puerto Rico, stay at a hotel Uber around but , well worth the cost.. Don't hesitate. you will be lucky to have the best care in the world,,, Take the appointment and wait. My last appointment took me 4 months but I didn't give up because it is worth it. Everyone especially Teresa at the front is the best.... Love Dr Berrocal...

Dr. Berrocal is THE specialist to see if you have any problems with your eyes. Several of my family members are patients of hers. I trust her with their health, no doubt.

Dr Maria H Berrocal is the kindest doctor. She makes sure you are comfortable as a patient. As a diabetic loosing sight, she was able to save my vision and will always be grateful for that.

I was referred by an ophthalmologist in order have a more detailed exam of my eye due to trauma and the possibility of damage to the retina. After calling for an appointment the secretary stated that Dr. Berrocal would not be able to see me for 2 months even after mentioning my situation and referral from another specialist. Total lack of empathy and compassion. Would not recommend to family and friends.

Dr. Berrocal is the best! She is kind and passionate. Also, she knows more than all the other ophthalmologists in the island and is also internationally known for her research. I've tried them all and she is the best!!
