Excellent experience. I’ve been going to optometrist appointments every year like clockwork since childhood, and I’ve seen numerous doctors over the years. Dr. Cleland truly stands out. During my visit, she took the time to ask insightful questions about my eye health and lifestyle, ensuring that every concern was addressed. She provided thoughtful suggestions tailored to my needs, and her genuine care was evident throughout the appointment. It’s refreshing to experience such personalized attention, and I left feeling confident in my eye care. I highly recommend Dr. Cleland for anyone seeking an exceptional optometry experience.

Everything was great at my first appointment with Dr. Erika Cleland. The office staff was very friendly and professional and did all they needed to do for a first time patient quickly and efficiently. Dr. Cleland explained everything clearly particularly in regards to an unexpected finding. She answered all of my questions - which were a lot - as I wanted to understand everything. And then a very friendly, helpful woman helped me choose and order glasses that I actually love. The whole experience was better than I expected. I would highly recommend this provider and office.
