I was very past due on any eye examination; this was a simply easy experience and I'm now current with all vital health checks. This was worthwhile time spent and a great office to find - you do have to look for it. I'd highly recommend catching up on your vision needs here.

Dr. Thompson is outstanding! She was thorough. She ha an exceptional bed side manner. I am recommending her to everyone who needs an optometrist.
April 28, 2026Ann Marie S.Verified patient
Our experience was amazing. They were attentive, positive, and helpful. It was a joy to be seen and especially for my babygirl who has a high prescription, she felt feeling confident to wear her glasses and looking forward to her new glasses. I called my mom to tell her about the service to schedule her an appointment with my sons so she could experience the excellent service. You can tell when some enjoys what they do and these ladies truly enjoy what they do. I can not say enough about this office!

August 28, 2024Lawrence N.Verified patient
Because of the problem with my right eye it was very important to see the right Specialist because my Specialist I was seeing was not available. Dr Emma Thompson was very knowlegable in addressing my condition. Maggie who fitted me with my perscription was also very knowlegable and very easy to work with and has a very bubbly personality. Very satisfied!
