Excellent experience with Dr. Hammond; was able to book three back-to-back appointments for my kids and was accommodated for a fourth child in the mix, so knocked out all the eye exams for the kiddos for the year. Learned three of the kids could benefit from glasses. Older lady optician was very helpful post-exam. Recommend you check your insurance's online store before impulse buying on location. Frequently nothing out of pocket for the exact same frame and as good or better lenses versus hundreds out of pocket.

The staff there was very friendly and very nice people. They explained everything in lots of detail and answered all my questions.
I have nothing bad to say about my visit. Everyone really cares a lot here about your vision and giving you the best one on one care. I couldn't be happier for my first time visit to this office. The staff and doctor explained everything and answered any questions I had. They guarantee the lenses for a year. And I was given some helpful tips as well. I highly recommend.

Great experience. I needed an emergency exam to assess a potentiL retinal tear. Igot right in. The office staff were great. And Dr. Hammond explained everything thoroughly.
The office emailed me my paperwork so that I could have it all filled out prior to my visit. The wait time was short and the doctor helped me get some new glasses that will help me because I work at a computer all day. I highly recommend!
