This was my first time seeing an optometrist in many years, and the office and doctor were not judgmental in any way, and I didn't feel as though I was pressured to upgrade any prescription or have any unnecessary recommendations.

Kim was very knowledgeable on what I needed for my eye sight and wasted no time on fixing my eye sight. Also staff was very friendly and helpful.
January 19, 2025Leslie H.Verified patient
I was impressed with how thorough the doctor was and her bedside manner. She did a great job considering my eyesight, family history, and considering in the short and long term solutions. This gave me a lot of reassurance as it’s been over 10 years since I had my eyes examed. I will come back here again simply for her and the front office staff.

Very professional and friendly staff. They were all very patient, kind, supportive, and helpful. I really like many of selection of glasses they had to offer.
October 11, 2024Eujennie F.Verified patient
When I got to the office, the front desk was super helpful and friendly. Though I did have to wait almost an hour and a half until I was seen after I was in the exam room, which made me late to work and I was not able to choose my glasses that day because I was rushing to leave.
September 30, 2024Elana E.Verified patient
My 87-year-old mother has dementia, and the staff was notified when she was brought into the office. My cousin brought her to the appointment and explain that to the staff. After she was examined a staff, member brought her back to my cousin and handed her a slip stating that she would be coming back on consecutive dates to get cataract surgery. There was absolutely no consultation from the doctor. The appointments were set up without asking if those dates would work with my cousin.
