Dr. Olmos is wonderful !!!
Dr. Olmos has always done an excellent job describing things and taking care of my needed medical services. Her assistant, [...], Also does an excellent job and asking me questions about my current health status.
I've been seeing Dr Olmos for a few years now. She's through, knowledgeable, and has supported me when I've requested referrals to other optical healthcare providers. That's half the battle with some doctors but not with Dr Olmos. Her work is very specialized which is why I have requested referrals a couple of times, for issues well outside her scope.

I like the physician. I just wish I didn't have to wait nearly 2 hours to see her each visit
