Who we serve
Spanish Speaking Patients
Spanish speaking staff are on site. Explanations, instructions and questions happen in the language you are most comfortable in rather than through a family member translating.
“I want to understand exactly what is happening with my eyes, in my own language.”
Eye care involves a lot of explanation. What was found, what it means, what happens next, how to use a medication, how to handle a lens. Getting that in a second language, quickly, is how important detail gets lost.
Spanish speaking staff are on site at this practice, so the conversation happens directly rather than through a relative doing their best to translate clinical terms.
It matters most for the things that depend on doing something correctly at home: contact lens handling, eye drop regimens, and the warning signs that mean call the office rather than wait.
What matters most for this group
- Understanding the findings
- Retinal imaging and corneal maps are shown and explained directly, which helps regardless of language.
- Medication and lens instructions
- The instructions that depend on being followed exactly are explained in your own language.
- Unhurried appointments
- Two patients per hour means there is time for questions rather than a rushed handover.
