If I understand you, you need an eye surgeon?
The two most famous ones are Pedro Guzman and his son in Clinica Corominas on Restauracion and Jose (Joe) Asilis at Clinica Bonilla. These are the one you will want to consult.
I'd start with Guzman..

I dont care about all that. Just wanna get a consult on correcting cross eyes in a little girl. Plus something for myself also.

If I understand your drift, you mean to say that he was trained in Europe?

No, I think he has trained in several countries and his English is very good. That cross-eyed thing might be corrected by means other than surgery, which is why you need to see him...
Go to Clinica Corominas and make an appointment. don't go trying to do this on the Internet. No website.

Or you can call and make an appointment. It's in the book...

nope. cross eyed needs the surgery, but it has to wait until she is 7 years old to allow greater muscle development in her head. She is only 4 now. And they would have to do one eye at a time over a period of 6-9 months. And she would have to wear a pirate patch for a bit.

I just wanted the website to know where he trained, what his specialty is and how recent are his certifications.

We have been taking our daughter to Dra. Tania Sarita. She is in Corominas, not in the main building, but on the left side street.

Racer: Dr. Pedro Guzman and his son do not need your patient. They have more than enough people waiting to see them..They are by far the top rated people in the field north of Santo Domingo, and people come from the states to see them. If memory serves he is a Cornell graduate.. Go see him and find out for yourself.

I am sure you would want to see DeBakey's certifications too??? come on!!

Dont get offended bro, I dont care, they are MY EYES, MINE, MINE!, MINE!!!!!!!! and I only got 2 of them and I cant get no more. So if this dude is going to be a crybaby about checking his record, F'em!

Maybe you do things differently, but then again I would NOT ask you to make life altering decisions concerning my well-being in my absense. What does that sound like?

that's alright. when you calm down just remember you are new to this place and you do not know much about it. If you did you would not be asking such stupid questions about one of the most outstanding doctors in the country.
Go ask Jose Joaquin Puello if he will do neurosurgery!! Ask for his credentials!!

You just lost a lot and don't even know it.

I am calm, and I will tell you again, these are my eyes. You get 2, no more. There is no special order or requisition form you get for replacements. I m not buying a pair of carpenter jeans where precision isnt important. I am not asking a guy to install a CD player or something. If this doesnt go right there are no Mulligans, no do-overs, no "Oops, my bad!". This aint dentistry, where if he messes up 3 teeth you still have 28 more. If he is not highly skilled, I will be sight impaired. Who needs an internet forum if I cant see the screen? Who needs it if you cannot see anything? That is MY deal. And I m sticking to it.

You re telling me it is improper for me to investigate their professionals credentials? That I should take someones word for it? Yea, we know that aint going to work. Once again F'em if they cant take the heat. And I should be ashamed because I want more than someones personal guarantee that the guy is the best in the country? A personal guarantee in this country is like a car warranty. So I ask what I want to know. He who doesnt like it? F'em.

There are NO STUPID QUESTIONS WHEN IT CONCERNS A PERSONS HEALTH AND WELL BEING. Maybe you have been here to long to know that. Maybe the culture of vultures has overtaken you? Ask yourself what did you lose.
