“Very friendly and knowledgeable doctor. The office was full but that’s the usual sign of a good doctor. The staff was amazing and very kind to my young daughter who was worried about the visit. They made sure our follow ups and secondary appointments were fully handled before I left - even though a couple of them had to stay a little late to make sure everything was complete. ”

“It was a great experience the staff and the doctor were very friendly and communicable. Everything was explained to me and I was given written information about my diagnosis so I can be more educated on what the next step was going to be about. ”

Dr Cartwright is really good but I don't know if it's worth to wait almost three hours to get to see him.

Creo que debido a la cantidad de personas que atiende a diario no se toma suficiente tiempo para evaluar.

Very friendly and knowledgeable doctor. The office was full but that’s the usual sign of a good doctor. The staff was amazing and very kind to my young daughter who was worried about the visit. They made sure our follow ups and secondary appointments were fully handled before I left - even though a couple of them had to stay a little late to make sure everything was complete.

Rude front desk staff, they were speaking of other patients and calling them horrible names out of there name. They were rushing for lunch because they were all starving, something j know because they were yelling at each other about it. The doctor saw me for less than five min and didn’t let me speak or ask any questions, the techs were rude, and billing wasn’t explained, I was only told to pay if I want to be seen. I ended up paying for a service later in the appointment was determined to be the wrong reason for me to be there. Horrible office. Never seen anything like it before in regard to the service received.

Parking space very limited. Suggest Uber or Lyft. Crowded waiting room, just like every doctor these days. Staff is friendly. Limeited surgical facilities in Orange County.

November 2, 2017Dennis D.Verified patient
The wait time was 3 hours. The staff didn't talk to me about my son's vision test result. Instead was given another appointment for 2 weeks later and we dont know why? Or the reason for the follow up appointment. I would not recommend this place . Very disappointed.

- extreme waiting time - over one (1) hour to see cartwright
- attending nurse inadequate questioning/inquiring over patient past history
- cartwrite inadequate attention to patient

The staff and the doctor did not bother to greet me, they were abrupt and rushed; did not take the time to explain what caused the condition and what treatment options there are.
