This was our first time seeing Dr. Maria and easily a 15/10. Thorough, personable, sat down and spoke to your eyes, just all around an A+ experience.

Doctor was honest about what child needed. She answered all questions about how to move forward and the reasoning behind her suggestions. She provided options and was not pushy about getting glasses right away.

My daughter is a work in process with trying to correct her vision. The provider has not only been incredibly helpful but also very encouraging with progress or things that need to be adjusted. Bonus she's really great with my daughter.

Dr. Varela was excellent. Despite my poor experience, she is the reason I will continue care with CCMC. I would highly recommend her.
