Very friendly and knowledgable
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.

Dr. Kerby takes his time with you; you never feel rushed at all! And he’s VERY thorough in his examination and any explanations. He is great!!! So is the staff!
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.
