The place was clean and the staff was friendly. The only negative was the unwarranted fee to receive a contact prescription. It makes me rethink staying at this facility even though the place was great.

Absolutely wonderful visit. Dr. Murphy had great chair side manners and was a joy to meet. Short wait time, nice office, and wonderful receptionists.
April 15, 2019Soraya N.Verified patient
Everyone at the office was very friendly and professional. Please don't ignore their recommendation to allow 90 minutes - there was a long wait to be seen, plus an additional wait to allow my pupils to dilate. For an annual appointment it is no big deal but choose a day when you can block at least 60 minutes.
March 25, 2019Leanne T.Verified patient
The wait was longer than expected but they quickly fixed that and were super nice the entire time. Great experience and look forward to my next yearly check up.
