Hugo M. Linares, DO
Board-Certified Ophthalmologist
Message from the Doctor
I take great pride in building a physician-patient relationship by spending time answering questions and educating patients about their ophthalmic conditions. I feel that this approach has created comfortable and trusting relationships between myself and my patients.
The complexities of ophthalmology make my day to day interactions with patients interesting and challenging. I love the detailed approach that diagnosing and treating vitreoretinal diseases requires. I get excited about the utilization of technology, such as lasers, OCT’s (optical coherence tomography), and fluorescein angiography. I am so grateful that I practice in a time when technological advances are commonplace and afford better treatment options for my patients.
