“The office staff were professional and Dr. Robilotto was quick and efficient with the eye exam and contact lens fitting (and even helped simulate the cost of different contact lens options), but there was a bit of a wait and the overall environment felt more corporate/sterile and not as warm/friendly as some offices I've been to in the past. The office itself was clean and I appreciated the coat rack, phone chargers, and wifi, which made the wait more tolerable. Still, would recommend.”
