“I’m new to wearing glasses, and this doctor listened when I said my current prescription was causing me nausea and eyestrain and let me try out a few different prescriptions to make sure I was comfortable walking around instead of just telling me I would get used to it like my previous doctor. Very kind and patient. Sales people at the front of the office were a little pushy about trying to get me to buy new glasses with them instead of somewhere cheaper but I don’t blame the doctor for that.”

Verified patient
Very friendly and warm staff. Facilities were clean and bright. It was a bit busy so there was a bit of a wait, but when I did see the doctor my concerns about my vision were taken seriously. I did not feel rushed through my appointment and tests were smooth and thorough to address all my concerns. Doctor made sure to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and answer any questions I had. Breakdown in price and options for new glasses were clear and easy to follow. I feel comfortable and confident leaving my vision health and care in their hands.
