Trinidad Vision Center

Best opthamologist in the state of Texas, if not the entire country. Yes, wait times can be long because Dr. Baribeau is so thorough. You are ALWAYS evaluated by Dr. Baribeau thoroughly, not just a PA or assistant, although all of his staff are wonderful. He is a living saint, to ALL of his patients, not just the rich and famous. He must be descended from Luke, I kid you not. Dr. Baribeau was the ONLY doctor in Texas who would operate on my eyes back in 1991. The ONLY one. And it was 100% successful and life-changing. Yes, the wait times can sometimes be frustrating, but I can assure you he is second to none in knowlege, skill and bedside manner. And if you have a pressing issue, he will fit you into his schedule. Every year he takes a trip to do free sugeries for people in other countries who can't access or afford medical care. And when you call during business hours, a person answers the phone...not AI. A REAL person. Dr. Baribeau and his entire staff, each member of his staff, go above and beyond to be kind amd helpful. I dread the day when Dr. Baribeau is no longer available. People drive from all over the state regularly to see him, and they speak just as highly about him as I do. Many people have been his patient for decades.. Brilliant and kind, as is his entire staff. Highly recommend.

I went with my loved one for a eye doctor appointment… they are too relaxed and not efficient… they waisted too much time from seeing every patient.. and we got at 9am and it already 12noon and still my loved one is waiting … awful place to see a doctor and wait wait wait wait wait… bring a blanket

This place DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR TIME! My wife use to come here in 2015 and she would always spend at least 3+ hours to get seen. She got a referral recently and somehow got Dr. Baribeau again her appointment is at 2pm and she just got called back to see the technician at 2:47pm. Once shes done with the tech it will be another couple hours and when you ask if they are running late they just laugh and say yes, its 5 pm and we are still waiting! Ridiculous avoid this place!

You will not be seen at or anywhere near your scheduled appointment time. We waited almost 2 hours to be seen and when I asked they said that's the norm. They overbook and the actual appointment when seen by the Dr. is about 10 minutes. They will charge you a $75 fee if you cancel or are late but it's ok for the doctor to run 2 hours late. Doesn't make much sense to me other than overbooking to collect co-payments forcing patients to wait the 2+ hours to be seen. Experienced this twice within a few weeks and just cancelled our follow up appointment. My advice if you decide to see this doctor is don't take the early appointments, take the late afternoon appointments so you don't have to wait 2 hours to be seen.

If I could give this place no stars I would. Had an appointment at 3:30 p.m. Took an hour to be called back. I've been sitting here for 2 hours now waiting to be called back again. When I approached the front desk the lady was rude & told me I had 8 people ahead of me &that each person takes about 15-20 mins to be seen & i was looking at 3 more hours because they had more walk ins than expected. What's the point of making an appointment? I was told you knew how long you were expected to wait right? I said yes the woman told me max 2 hours & nothing has happened. How inconvenient & moronic to assume people have all this time to wait here for less than mediocre service. I will never come back to this place & I suggest you dont come here unless you have almost have your day to waste. Save your time, money, and sanity & visit another place. This place is horrible all around.
