About Me

Dr. Mariana Flores Pimentel is a fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologist who provides comprehensive eye care for children—from premature infants to teens. She diagnoses and treats strabismus and amblyopia and has special interests in genetic eye anomalies and craniofacial conditions. Families value her warm, bilingual care (English and Spanish), clear explanations, and focus on evidence-based treatments that support each child’s vision and development. Dr. Flores Pimentel completed a pediatric ophthalmology and adult strabismus fellowship at the Hospital for Sick Children (University of Toronto), a post-doctoral research fellowship at UCSF, ophthalmology residency at Instituto de Oftalmología, and medical school at Tecnológico de Monterrey. She collaborates closely with pediatricians, craniofacial teams, and therapists to coordinate care and minimize time away from school and activities. Whether aligning eyes to improve depth perception, managing amblyopia, or counseling families about rare genetic eye disorders, she aims to make every visit supportive, efficient, and reassuring.
