Dr Santoyo has been a godsend. I have been under her care since August 2023 and my vision continues to improve. She is compassionate and professional. My brain injury was due to a stroke to the occipital lobe in June 2023.

Dr. Alia Santoyo-Johnson helped me with my post-concussion syndrome when others wanted to give up. She is wise and empathetic. She recommended syntonics light treatment and it has been amazingly effective in helping my brain heal and vision improve. She also helped me to slow down and gave tips on how to be aware of my surroundings so I would stop bumping into things and hurting myself again and again.

If you want a doctor who listens, thinks out of the box and won't give up on you - Dr. Alia is for you.

Dr Alia Santoyo is quite simply an exceptional doctor as well as an exceptional human being. She is gifted in so many ways. Kind, gentle, tremendously skilled in her profession, she exemplifies all the qualities one could wish for in a health practitioner. Dr Santoyo is never rushed, listens to her patients and surrounds them with understanding, care and guidance. I have had issues with my eye convergence as well as cervical issues that bring on migraines. Dr Santoyo recommended syntonics treatment and it has been amazingly effective in relieving my symptoms. Dr Santoyo is truly a blessing. I am forever grateful to you, Dr Santoyo!

She has an incredible wealth of knowledge, and is among the best doctors (not simply optometrists... but doctors in general) I have ever had the pleasure of being seen by. DEFINITELY recommend her for all your eye care needs. COVID guidelines were followed, I felt safe with this doctor in every way! Exceptional service in every way!

Dr. Alia is a fantastic doctor. The entire left side of my body had been in pain due to the wrong eyeglass prescription from another provider, so she wrote me a new one and I noticed an immediate change. I have TBI and the syntonics light therapy is helping me greatly. Her caring and compassionate demeanor combined with her wisdom and knowledge makes her a wonderful doctor. I highly recommend her! Thank you Dr. Alia, I am forever grateful.

Dr. Alia has helped me in so many ways! I had COVID in January and had a horrible headache! She helped me find the correct syntonic glasses to completely restore me! I felt 100% better after my visit with her! I highly recommend her!

Dr Alia Santoyo Johnson was recommended to us by my daughter's neurologist after her tbi. Dr Alia's work with syntonics helped the crushing migraines she suffered and she has been able to resume normal activities. Dr Alia is our go to eye doc!! Her knowledge and kindness are only shadowed by her caring. We are so grateful to have found her. She has treated several members of the family for syntonics and for glasses. I highly recommend her!

I'm functional, due almost entirely to Dr. Alia Santoyo's expertise in understanding the oddities of my still-healing brain from a TBI. If you have post-concussive disorder, seen more practitioners than you can remember, have prescription bottles overflowing your medicine cabinet, and have resigned yourself to chronic misery - then stop and make an appointment. Your life can and will improve. Mine has and continues to do so.
