“Dr Saxon was the total package: friendly, knowledgeable, gentle, and kinda fun. I dunno, is it weird to be disappointed I don’t need to come back for 2 years? 10/10”

This doctor was a waste of time. 2 to 3 hours to finish and was with the doctor for 20 minutes. billed for multiple things on my insurance before answering questions or seeing if they can help .did not listen to my needs.

Everything was amazing! Dr. Saxon took his time & really engaged himself in finding the best glasses prescription for my ever-changing vision. We discussed alternative treatments for my inflammatory/dry eye conditions and looked at images of it together. This is definitely in my top three doctor visits. Thank you, Dr. Saxon!

Dr. Saxon and his assistance did a thorough exam for my eyes and provided me detailed information on the status. They took the time to listen to my concerns and answer my questions. What I like the most is that they don’t try to sell me things (new prescription or glasses) I am glad I had discovered him and will recommend friend and family to him.
