“I had a wonderful time at this office. I've never had an eye exam before and it felt super thorough. Once I sat with the doctor she asked me if I had any concerns and we talked about possible issues with my eyes. I set a follow up appointment to see her next week to do an additional test to rule out anything major. Overall the office was super nice and the equipment seemed hi tech. After the test I wasn't pushed to buy glasses. We talked about a few styles they had available. Did not end up purchasing and my prescription was quickly emailed over. ”
