“I decided to change my eye doctor because the staff was rude and I no longer accept bad manners when I have to schedule or attend a visit. Dr. Chelsea and her staff was very welcoming as a new patient and dedicated enough time for the visit and all the necessary treatments. I strongly recommend Dr. Chelsea if you live in Rutherford’s neighborhood ”
