Testimonials
What our patients say
La verdad es que no veía nada con ese ojo. Tuve un desprendimiento de retina y perdí la vista completamente. Si esto me hubiera pasado en cualquier otro lugar del mundo, estoy segura de que no habría recuperado mi vista, y mucho menos como la tengo hoy. Gracias al Dr. Pólitis puedo leer, manejar, jugar tenis y hacer mi vida como antes. Estoy convencida de que solo él pudo haberme ayudado a tener estos excelentes resultados y evitar que algo similar ocurriera con mi otro ojo. Estoy infinitamente agradecida.
Jessica C.
Dr. Pólitis restored my confidence. I was losing my vision, and with it, part of my daily life. From the first consultation, I felt listened to and understood. His care was impeccable and humane. Now I enjoy my days without fear.
Sonia Valdivieso
I was in Panama for a few days when I started seeing lights like balloons, like flying flies. In the emergency room, they told me about Dr. Pólitis, and without hesitation, I made an appointment. His diagnosis was clear: I had a retinal tear and needed urgent surgery. He operated on me the next day. His care was quick, precise, and gave me great peace of mind.
