Dr. Andrea Maldonado is an experienced Optometric Glaucoma Specialist dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-centered eye care. Born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and raised in Arizona, Dr. Maldonado brings a diverse and compassionate perspective to her practice.

Her approach to patient care is grounded in her belief that education is key. She takes great pride in listening to her patients’ concerns and providing clear, thorough explanations. “My goal is for patients to leave my exam room knowing more about their eyes than when they came in, feeling confident and informed,” she says.

Dr. Maldonado’s philosophy is centered around building lasting relationships with her patients. She considers her patients the driving force behind her passion for the eyecare profession. “The one thing I’d like my patients to know about me is that I will always treat and care for them as if they were a part of my family.
