“I really appreciated how friendly the staff was who took care of me in the eye examination room who administered the pre eye test and drops. The staff member was so knowledgeable of her job duties and made me feel very comfortable. I did not spend that much time with the actual eye doctor but her helping staff was amazing and I can see why her schedule is always booked.”

I was a patient there in 2022. I loved them then and have been trying to get back to them. The doctors are amazing, caring, and take their time with you. I have never felt like I was being rushed.
