Super quick and painless visit. It's not exactly an "office", but rather a small space within an eye glass store. The doctor was very nice and helpful with providing me the information I needed. I would recommend.
September 19, 2018Noelle L.Verified patient
The Dr. And the staff were official! I took a chance and they wound up to be better than who I've been going to in midtown for a few years. I very much recommend this DR. And the guy working the counter had fly gear on. Salute!

September 1, 2018Aria B.Verified patient
She was professional, quick, andpainless. She put my mind at ease. I'd highly recommend her, and return for a six-month follow-up in heartbeat. Plus, the price was right!
April 9, 2018Nathan P.Verified patient
The dr really took her time with both of my prescriptions and was super helpful in selecting contact brands.
Jai was epic in both our phone calls and in person-- he was very helpful with information, patient and honest in selecting great frames (that man has an eye for style!), and was all-around wonderful.
They have a fantastic selection of frames in stock and the place is well kept.
We are so happy we found this place on zocdoc and will continue coming here for all of our optical needs.
