“New patient that hadn't had her eyes examined in 5 years! 1st time using this center & I picked it because of the reviews & it is less than 1/2 mile from my residence so it close and convenient! Staff was great & helpful, Dr Palmer was very approachable, polite and explained the eye exam, vision changes and contacts vs glasses benefits. I really liked the fact that I could walk next door and could select from a array of glasses and order. Received trial packs of new daily contacts EVEN IN MY PRESCRIPTION, in stock! One stop shopping at its best. Happy patient! See you in a year :) heather M. DENNIS”
