Dr. Harkness was great! She listened well, didn't rush me when talking about my concerns, but was also succinct and efficient with her time. Will definitely be seeing her again.
Verified patient
Everyone in the office was very pleasant. Dr. Harkness was funny and friendly, but also totally professional. She offered new options for contacts that would be more comfortable. The staff did all this within hours of their office holiday party!

Dr. Harkness seemed like a great eye doctor. She was professional and knowledgeable. The exam didn’t take long. It involved reading eye charts and checking my pupils. I needed an updated prescription for glasses and contact lenses. Also, you can get coffee at Wake the Sloth Cafe downstairs.
