Can anyone recommend an opthalmologist in Sosua or Puerto Plata - maybe one who specializes in cataracts - and speaks English?

Thanks.

I can recommend one in Santiago. I had cataracts and had surgery with him. Dr. Asilis Mera in HOMS, he understands some English. I had surgery at Dr. Asilis own clinic in Clinica Bonilla because of the date I wanted to have surgery, visited the clinic and was quite impressed. Otherwise, you can have it done in HOMS. I wouldn't have gone anywhere in POP, especially not at Bournigal's.

Santiago...his name is Sebastian Guzman 809-971-2020, Clinica Coromina. You may have to wait for a while to be seen, but his English is perfect. This guy is really an outstanding doctor. Really well educated, very, very thorough. Super clean facilities, very modern equipment. Can't say enough.

Those are the two I always recommend.

And Dr. Estrella Duran is also very professional....

Max a 10 min. Taxi ride. Guzman is Corominan on Restauracion and Asilis is on Independence and Espa?a...

Estrella is on Estrella Sadhala next to the Darys Farmacia...new building.

You can see Asilis at HOMS too. I used to take Metro and then a cab from Metro to go to his office. 150 taxi fare each way, about ten minutes away. The most I waited in his office was about 20 minutes. I believe he's at HOMS only on Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoon.
