    I recently underwent PreserFlo MicroShunt implantation performed by Dr. Saldarriaga, and I wish to express my sincere gratitude for the care received. From the initial consultation through the surgical procedure and immediate postoperative period, Dr. Saldarriaga demonstrated a high level of professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail. He took the time to clearly explain the progression of my glaucoma, the reasons for surgery, and the expected results, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. The procedure was carried out efficiently and with great care. I felt well supported throughout the entire process, and the postoperative instructions were clear and well organized. Based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Saldarriaga to anyone who requires specialized ophthalmological care, especially in glaucoma management. Thank you very much for your excellent care.

    Lucas has been my ophthalmologist for more than two years. Recently, he performed surgery on me in which he implanted intraocular lenses, and it definitely changed my quality of life. In addition to the results, his kindness stood out, his patience in explaining my condition and the procedure in detail, his empathy, and the professionalism with which he does his work.
