He was very patient (especially with asking if 1 or 2 is clearer - sometimes they seem very similar!) and explained what he was doing and why. I didn't feel like he was rushed and he took the time to answer all of my questions thouroughly. I'm so thankful to have found a good eye doctor! I highly recommend him.

Great--staff and Dr. were really friendly. It was a little tricky to find the building (I think the construction threw me off) but once there everything was great!
