Fantastic. Very thorough and all the results were explained to me very well. No waiting and am very happy with the level of service and care.
January 9, 2025Stephen B.Verified patient
This was my first experience with Dr Nick's office. All of the staff was helpful and informative. The doctor had to reschedule my appointment to an earlier time, which was absolutely fine. Eyeglasses were more affordable than expected. Jenn Thomas was very helpful finding properly fitting frames. I ended up buying the frames she recommended over the ones I had chosen originally. Dr Nick will be my eye care professional going forward.
