I had an eyelid infection. Dr. Kelly was great in both of my two appointments. I highly recommend him!

It was good! Just wish the wait time was better. My appointment was set for 1:45pm and I saw him almost a whole hour later. Took way more time than I expected.

While Dr. Kelly was kind, his assistant gave me the wrong prescription. So now I have to go back to a different doctor to get the correct prescription. This office wasted my time and I cannot recommend them.

February 6, 2018Tiffany H.Verified patient
have to spend minimum 2 hours here. Was told to go back to waiting room while my eyes were dilating. waited too long and the dilation started going away so had to be re-dilated and told to go wait again. did not make it clear that contact lens prescription would not be provided. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.
