My experience with Eyes of Southwest has been excellent! Both Dr.'s Hernandez and Newbold have been helpful and personable, from cataract surgery to regular exams. Staff are friendly and there to help. Have recommended the practice to others.
Everyone here is super friendly, courteous and professional. Mathew Newbold is the best Optometrist I've ever been to. He communicated with me during the whole exam. I knew everything he was seeing because he told me what he seeing. Highly recommend.
Dr. Hernandez and his staff is the most professional, highly skilled, and caring group in the Southwest. After my surgery, the doctor called me in the evening to see how I was doing. He cares.
My cataracts were finally ready for removal—both were done with no complications and I am ready to have my new glasses made. What a miracle to be able to see clearly again and to drive at night! I am very thankful for Dr. Hernandez's great skill and follow up care. We are so fortunate to have him here in Las Cruces!
Dr. Hernandez completed both of my cataract surgeries about two years ago and both of them went smoothly and I have had absolutely no problems at all. I used to have floaters and they are gone as well. I was absolutely amazed at the fact that the day after each surgery Dr. Hernandez personally called me at home to find out how I was doing and if I was having any pain. No other doctor has ever made a personal follow-up phone call before regardless of the kind of surgery. I have and will continue referring friends to him and the Eyes of the Southwest!
