Best eye doctor experience I can remember. Also I spent half of what I spent at the last place I went to for my glasses. Great selection and the staff really helpful. I will go back.

The doctor was thorough and really took the time to listen to my needs and customize a contact lens configuration that seems to be working well for me. The location tucked back from the road, but a nice office.

I love this place! I have been going here for three years. They have the best service and great prices. I have saved a bundle. Great selection of frames too.

A very positive experience - will definitely be back when time for my next exam. Also liked the selection of frames that were available for me to select my new glasses from.

I'm pretty picky, but have always been impressed with LookSmart. Very attentive. Detail oriented and professional. I have recommended them to everyone.

Doctors are great. Nice, thorough, friendly. The glasses I got are the best I can remember. New digital technology. And the best part, I paid very little with my insurance.
