“Dr. Raphaelov has wonderful bedside manner and explained everything to me. He answered all of my questions in a clear manner and was very kind!”
Tessa Z.February 7, 2025
“A super great eye care experience. Every single person on staff, from the front desk to the PAs, were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and helped me get the best care possible. The doctor was great, explaining things thoroughly, and figured out my old prescription was actually much too high, and that had been the cause of some eye strain I’ve been having. 10/10”
