Professional staff. Should have liked to have met the doctor prior to the procedure. felt a little impersonal.
This was my second procedure with the doctor and I have yet to have any sort of conversation with him. Didn't even inquire about my other procedure which I was surprised. With patients lined up to have the procedure I know he is busy but at least he could spend an extra minute with a patient.

More about Dr. Rafael Trespalacios, MD

Dr. Trespalacios completed his bachelor of science in biology and microbiology locally at UCF , when the idea of an affiliated medical school was only a dream. He then attended the University of South Florida School of Medicine and went on to become a board-certified ophthalmologist with distinctions throughout his medical/surgical training which includes the world-renowned Price Vision Group and Cornea Research Foundation of America where he was wooed to remain and set up practice. However wishing to return to his home state, he chose Brevard County to begin practicing consultative ophthalmology. As the medical director at Brevard Eye Center, he earned a reputation for excellence and was selected by respected colleagues in the field of cataract and LASIK surgery as one of the "Best Eye Doctors" in the country. But Dr. Tres never lost sight of his vision of bringing a prestigious eye care facility to Central Florida. With hard work and the support of thousands of happy visually restored patients behind him, he and his team have been able to create Medical City Eye Center with locations throughout Central Florida including Melbourne, Viera/Suntree, Merritt Island, Patrick Air Force, Palm Bay, Lake Nona, Titusville and downtown Orlando. Now with the University of Central Florida College of Medicine a reality and residing among other impressive organizations such as Nemours Children’s Hospital and the Orlando VA Medical Center, Medical City Eye Center contributes to the ever-growing prestigious medical community of Central Florida.
