“Oh my gosh! This is the most kind, understanding, knowledgeable eye Dr I have ever been to and I am not an easy patient, by any means. The 2 gentlemen and 1 woman I met at the front office and eye glass fitting Dept were so friendly and kind. They made conversation very comfortable and easy. And they're excellent at picking out glasses just right for you! I would have hung out the rest of the day just to chat with them???? these people are WONDERFUL!!! if I could just find a PC half as caring and kind as these people, Id be set! My Eye Dr. On Platte? It don't get any better! Thank you all for being so kind to me and making me feel so welcome and at ease!!! ”
