I first came to code at the age of 16 to see if I can get lasik surgery but at first they said I really didnt need it and when I was a little older I can come back and try again. I got my procedure done at 20 and 3 years later, my vision is still great. A staff who cares and wants to give you quality service. Highly recommend . Very easy to find if traveling over border as well.

I’ve had many optometrists in my life but none like the ones here at codet. I actually feel cared for even though what I have isn’t serious. It’s easy to see the passion the doctors have for what they do.
-
Best customer service in Tijuana. Its really nerve racking when your Spanish isn’t all that well and you’re going in for surgery you might feel like a detail is missed. But having rubi explain to you everything makes all my worries disappear. I recommend all my friends to codet.

Had a great experience here from start to finish and I would definitely recommend coming here. The customer service is on point from phone, to valet, to reception, to the doctor. You can instantly tell this doctor is great by all the recognition, awards and diplomas. You can see people traveling from all over the world sitting in the lobby just to see Dr.Chayet. He speak both English and Spanish fluently which caters to people coming the the US.
Actual surgery: I was extremely nervous about this surgery but the team made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I think I made it a bigger deal than it really was, the most you feel is pressure in your eyes during surgery . ZERO PAIN during/ after the surgery. The only thing I can say is that I felt light burning sensation when the anesthesia wore of but it was minimal like getting soap in your eyes, nothing unbearable. -
Excellent service! The staff was extremely knowledgeable about the products and exams! Very flexible with pricing and perfect location. I would highly reccomend to anyone looking for amazing eye exams and service! Thank you Pamela for letting me know about this place!
