Dr. Tracy and his staff are very professional and friendly. I was treated very well from the moment I entered the office until I checked out. All of my concerns were clearly answered, and I learned new solutions to my problems that I wished I had learned a long time ago. I highly recommend this practice!
Dr. Tracy provided an excellent consultation, and I feel extremely comfortable with him working on my eyes. He answered all my questions, and was very patient and friendly at all times. He then continued to answer questions I had not asked, and fully explained all of the pros and cons to options for my procedure. He was thorough in his analysis, and my experience could not have been better!

Great. He explained everything that he was doing very clearly. His examination of my eyes was very thorough. This was my first time visit with Dr. Tracy.
This was by far the best experience I've had at the eye doctor. Dr. Tracy spent extra time listening to my history and addressing all my concerns. The office is nice and clean and the equipment all like new. He answered all my questions with through descriptions and a great sense of humor to boot. And the only waiting I did was waiting for my eyes to dilate. Glad to have found a new eye doctor in North County.
