I had a fantastic experience at Dr. Gammon’s office! The office was spotless, and the staff was incredibly helpful and prompt in assisting me. Dr. Dawn Gammon was the most thorough optometrist I’ve ever seen, taking the time to clearly explain my eye condition in detail. I truly appreciate her professionalism and care. Highly recommend!

Dr. Gammon saw me on short notice and was very helpful. She listened to me and my concern with a marathon coming up and got me eye drops to help with the discomfort. Glad I went to her instead of a walk in clinic, she was very insightful and went above and beyond!
