Testimonials
I was pleased with the knowledge and experience demonstrated by Dr. Banuelos. While she gave me much "home work" to accomplish on the way to full recovery, I felt in a few months I will see clearly again.
Sincerely, Rev. David N.
Completely satisfied with my visit to see Dr. Banuelos. My questions and concerns were answered without any fuss. A very "down to earth" Doctor.

Dr. Bañuelos is the coolest lady! She makes her patients feel comfortable & at ease. The staff is really friendly also. I would highly recommend Atlantis Eyecare in San Pedro. We were in & out of my son's appointment (with dilation) within 45 minutes. Clean office, state of the art equipment, great staff & doctor-what else do you need?!

Name is Thomas Lansford, I was in an auto accident about 2 years ago which caused damaged to a nerve in one of my eyes. As a result, it caused me to have double vision and headaches. I saw a doctor who told me that surgery was an option but may not work and I could end up worse than I am. He gave me glasses that didn’t help and in fact they made my headaches worse. So I sought a second opinion in which I was referred to Atlantis Eyecare, where I met Dr. Lydia Banuelos. Not only did she make me feel comfortable, but she also gave me hope. After careful consideration, Dr. Banuelos performed strabismus surgery on my eye. The very next day my double vision was almost completely gone and after awhile my headaches got much better. It has been 6 months since my surgery and I am very happy with the results so far. I would highly recommend Dr. Banuelos to anyone that needs a second opinion. I am so happy I didn’t settle with my first doctor’s recommendation.

Dr. Banuelos is friendly and courteous and seems very competent professional! She made me feel confident and encouraged being under her care and for the treatments ahead I feel safe and not as petrifide as prior to meeting Dr. Banuelos. Thank you

Dr. Banuelos showed professional services and fulfilled to the highest of my standards. Both the woman who saw me first that gave me the pressure test and gave drops. Doctor Banuelos followed up to explain the exam and tested eyes due to diabetes. Five stars to both of them. Two of my nieces took me to my appointment. One of them liked the cleanliness and how fast I was out. She made an appointment :)

Dr. Banuelos is fantastic, she is caring and very comfortable to be with. She takes the time to ask questions and wait for your answers. A very dedicated doctor, I would definitely recommend her.
Dr. Banuelos recommended the lipiflow trial for my dry eyes. Three treatments went well and helped my dry eyes. She made me feel at ease and a caring doctor. I'll certainly refer others to her.
