“The doctor I saw appear to be knowledgeable and great at explaining the status of my eyes and recommending referral. The office is well equipped and service provision was professionally done. However, it took me over an hour to get done. My appointment was 3:30pm and I did not get through until 5:06pm. I never expected to spend that too much time.”
