Patients frequently commend Dr. Rex Barachina Villegas for his professionalism, thoroughness, and ability to communicate effectively with his patients. Many reviews highlight his attentive nature and the clarity with which he explains medical issues, contributing to a positive patient experience. However, some negative feedback mentions overcrowded waiting rooms, issues with scheduling follow-up appointments, and instances where patients felt rushed or were not able to see Dr. Villegas directly, which detracted from their overall satisfaction. Despite these occasional concerns, the overall sentiment remains positive with many patients willing to recommend his services.

I was looking forward to having my eyes examined again by Dr. Villegas, whom I have seen yearly for quite a few years, due to my high correction. However, this time, unbeknownst to me, my total exam was completed by his assistant. When I inquired, I was told he would not be coming in at all! In the past, when someone else has done part of my exam, Dr. Villegas has come in to finish the exam, and substantiate the findings. He never came in. This was not professional, since my appointment was with Dr. Villegas!

My first visit here. Doctors and staff are professional and considerate. Wait time was short and exam time was appropriate for what I was dealing with. Excellent all around. Even though I live 40 minutes away I will travel here for service.

It was a pleasant visit the wait was not long before they called me in, the assistant who did the evaluation before the doctor came to see me was very nice and explained to me in detail the concern I have . Dr Villegas was always nice and asked more medical questions that made him decide to do special blood tests to find out further why I am still having a medical issue despite of not having abnormalities based on their evaluation.
