Everyone is so pleasant and professional, and Dr. Kerby is the friendliest, most personable doctor I've ever met. Office calls are usually something that I endure, but I actually enjoy the visits with him. There is nothing that I feel needs to be done differently. I just want to give well-wishes for the extra effort having to be made by everyone to bring the new computer system on-board.

My son recommended Dr. Kerby to me. We were talking about eye care and I told him that it had been a few years since I had an eye exam. He told me about Dr. Kerby and I called and made an appointment. I received a Comprehensive Exam with the Scanning Computerized Ophthalm. That was back in 2019 and I go each year for the same exam. It is very nice to work with someone who genuinely cares about the health of your eyes.
