Gardens Eye Institute

Dr. Melissa Iglesias grew up knowing she wanted to be a part of the medical field. Her grandfather was a physician and a large influence on her choice to become an ophthalmologist. After completing her residency training in the military, Dr. Iglesias and her husband moved around to several different states. During this time, many of the practices that Dr. Iglesias joined were being sold to larger corporations. She saw physicians losing control over the care of their patients and practices becoming more money-driven than patient-focused. Although starting her own practice had never been in the plans before, it soon became the only option.
