PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

Dr. Mario Gutiérrez opened the Ophthalmology Consultants of Guatemala in Guatemala City together with Dr. Rudy Gutierrez Jr. in 2018 offering state-of-the-art comprehensive ophthalmology services in all areas of vision correction surgery and ocular health. Patients depend on Dr. Gutiérrez to utilize the latest technology, to operate at the highest international quality standards, and to demonstrate his personal devotion to excellence in patient care.

Medical technology is constantly improving, so Dr. Gutiérrez studies the latest advances through his affiliations with Johns-Hopkins Medical Center, Duke University, and various international associations in Europe and the Americas. Minimally invasive surgery is the new gold standard in advanced ophthalmology procedures, and Dr. Gutiérrez uses his extensive experience in analyzing clinical research of newly developed treatments to assure the safety and success of all his patients.

The doctor says, “I want to give my patients the best possible solutions and the alternatives, so they are well-informed and know exactly what to expect. We have an amazing medical team and cutting-edge technology, so they can trust us to identify and control any eye illness or vision problem imaginable. Under our care, they can relax and not have to worry anymore.”

Patients can trust Dr. Mario Gutiérrez to diagnose and treat all forms of disease associated with the eyes, macula, and retina, as well as the cataracts that cloud the vision of 25% of the population over 65 years of age. When Dr. Gutiérrez removes the old cloudy natural lenses and replaces them with multifocal lens implants, most patients leave the clinic wishing they had done this procedure years ago.

The doctor says, “Clear vision affects all aspects of our lives, so sometimes surgery needs to be done. Of course, the patients receive meticulous surgical precision, but it’s our genuine compassion that gives them the confidence to know they will have great results.”

REVIEWS FROM PATIENTS

I’m at eye clinic now waiting for dilation of pupils to complete. Dr. Mario Gutierrez is excellent. I am so pleased that I have come to him for a second opinion. Thanks for that recommendation.

Brenda Guenter, Rio Dulce, Guatemala

Dr. Mario is amazing! I only go to eye hospitals when I am in the US. I needed emergency retina surgeries while I was in Guatemala. My US eye doctor was very impressed with the work and the recommendation that were considered by Dr. Mario. I appreciate his bedside manner and professionalism. His ability to speak English really helped me out.

I recommend Dr. Mario to my friends in Guatemala for retina checks and cataract issues. Everyone that I have sent to him has commented how much they liked him and respected his skills.

Karl Bat, from Germany

Grateful and delighted with the results, I had been wearing glasses to see from a distance for 17 years. After the surgery I recovered my clear vision in 72 hours and not having that dependency changed my life for the better, it is as if I had been reborn. In addition to the affordable price, attention, and treatment of Dr. Mario Gutierrez, he is 100% recommended.

Angelica Veliz, Guatemala City

The truth is that it is an excellent clinic, which is attended by professional staff. I do not hesitate to recommend it because the services are very good, from the moment you enter the facilities you feel an atmosphere of respect and good care.

Fidel Jacobo, Guatemala

I wore glasses for more than half of my life, and then leaving them completely after the procedures with Dr. Gutierrez was wonderful. He calmed my pain and explained options with clarity and detail. All my doubts and questions always answered. The customer service throughout the clinic is spectacular. Thanks for everything!

Clara Sigüenza, Lago de Atitlán

Such an amazing experience from start to finish. It was fast and easy to schedule my appointment, get a consult, get my LASIK surgery, and a follow-up appointment within 1 weeks’ time! The doctors and team were amazing, and the doctor spoke English which is great for me as an American. Super affordable as well. Muchas gracias!
