Great Service and Dr. Patrick is excellent.
February 6, 2023Barbara H.Verified patient
I took my almost 5 year old daughter and Dr. Patrick was nothing short of amazing and the nurse who did her eye photos and eye test was great also! The only complaint I have is the nurse who was in the room with Dr. Patrick was far from professional. Dr. Patrick asked her to take us to the eye glass part of the building and assist us anyway she could and she pretty much blew us off. Was literally no help at all. The man working in the eye glass part of the building was pretty rude as well. He found something wrong with every pair of glasses my daughter picked up but never not once attempted to come over and help us. The ladies working front desk were pretty amazing as well! I would definitely recommend this place over any other!

July 20, 2022Khalia S.Verified patient
Dr. Patrick is very through and carefully explained things so I understood. All the staff was fantastic! They also have the greatest selection of frames!
June 10, 2022Susie P.Verified patient
I was a little hesitant at first because the receptionist was on the phone and looked as if I were bothering her. Once she was off the phone and I told her I was there to check in for my appointment, she gave me the paperwork to fill out. The lady that called me to the back was great as well as Dr Patrick. The lady that took my payment was very knowledgeable and helped me promptly. I am a little worried about the gentleman that helped with my eyeglasses as he didn't fit me the way he fit other patients he assisted. I will definitely be back
