“This was my first time visiting this office. I was very happy with the promptness and professionalism of the staff and Dr. Runke. The equipments to check my eyes are clean and quite modern. Dr. Runke provided me with clear explanations and suggestions. The reason of my visit is a routine eye check and to get a new prescription for glass lens. I will receive my new glass lens in two weeks and a half, if they are good, I will definitely stay with Dr. Runke and her staff.”
