“It was extremely efficient and helpful! The doctor made a big correction to my prescription, which is already making a difference hours after my appointment. They also made me aware of the preventative and non-urgent exam that I've never been offered before, even though it's common for someone with my prescription. ”

Loved everything about my visit . I am looking for a new eye dr and I think I found her ! From the women at the front desk to the actual Dr it was an efficient , pleasant experience. Only negative is the parking isn’t that great , but just a minor detail.
Verified patient
Extremely friendly and informative!
Why can't all Doctors be Dr. Patel?
Dr. Patel was both informative and friendly during my visit. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel at ease. The reception staff were also friendly and helpful. They’ve provided a great overall experience.
Verified patient
The only problem I had was how they kept offering more to my glasses. I had explained to them that I have been wearing glasses since second grade and that my glasses are very expensive. That this is the first time I had insurance that covered my glasses. When I asked the gentleman what wall I should be looking on a small tray came out of cabinet that had very few frames on it that bothered me I think you should offer a little bit more to people that have insurance through the state you gave me a very low option of glasses to choose from that is my only issue with your establishment. Offer more frames for the less fortunate or who can't afford to buy glasses and be able to see the world
