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.

Mario R in San Juan, PR – Dec 10, 2016
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Berrocal Fernandez?
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!!
