Biography

Guadalupe Alejandra Flores, OD, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology from St. Edward’s University and received her Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree through the University of Houston College of Optometry. 

With over 24 years of experience, she has worked in various types of practices, including private, corporate, and a hospital campus. Before joining UT Health RGV, she practiced in Northeast Pennsylvania, Scranton/The Poconos. While there, she served a community that included many underprivileged groups. While she was an optometry student, she also had the privilege of serving communities in Nicaragua on a medical mission. Since working here in the Rio Grande Valley, she has served disadvantaged patients through SEE International and Operation Lone Star. 

Dr. Flores is certified by the National Board of Examiners in Optometry. She is skilled in treating dry eye disease, red eye, foreign body removal, glaucoma, and managing retinopathy due to diabetes and hypertension. 

She provides comprehensive eye care for all ages and is fluent in both English and Spanish. She helps manage patients with systemic diseases that may affect their ocular health, especially hypertension, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. She counsels patients and makes recommendations about their health and well-being. Dr. Flores hopes to continue to make a positive difference in her patients’ lives by serving the people of the Rio Grande Valley, especially through community outreach. Her goal has always been to ensure that eye illnesses are identified as early as possible and to educate the community about the importance of annual eye exams.
