“I went in for a serious eye emergency and Dr. Silva quickly assessed and diagnosed me correctly after previously going to the ER twice. She was very helpful in trying to find me care that was beyond her means for the urgency of my situation. She went above and beyond in assisting me pursuing the care I needed and checking up afterwards to make sure I was progressing well. I highly recommend her!”

Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am proud to serve a diverse patient population and am passionate about helping my patients achieve and maintain lifelong healthy vision.

I admit that I went to see Dr. Vanessa out of curiosity, to find out how my vision was, and because I wanted glasses to block the blue light from screens. It turns out that I actually needed prescription glasses.
From the beginning, the staff who welcomed me were very kind and attentive. Dr. Vanessa seemed completely confident and knowledgeable. I would go back without hesitation.
