I recommend Dr Saunders very highly. He is knowledgeable, listened to my concerns and made sure I left with a full understanding of how to protect my vision. Felt like a true consultation vs the way some docs are in a hurry to rush you out. The exam was painless, he and his assistant were very professional and the office runs like clockwork. Great experience

When I initially made my appointment through Zocdoc to see Dr. Saunders. I would've never expected to have my first visit the following day. Not only was my registration forms quick and easy. but waiting time also went quickly.
Dr.Saunders along with his staff, were welcoming, efficiently detailed, and very professional. I highly recommend giving their practice a chance!
