I recently underwent cataract surgery with Dr. Melendez, Juliette Eye Institute, and have had a smooth, seamless experience. He is one of the best doctors that I have come across. Dr. Melendez checked on me at home to make sure I was doing okay. It's clear that he cares about his patients.And....he has a great personality!I highly recommend him, he's the best.
