“Great visit! Love seeing Dr. Mindin - she is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. The office front desk team was also super helpful and on top of everything!”

“I had a great visit with Dr. Mindin! I had been dealing with an inaccurate prescription from a different eye doctor’s office, and Dr. Mindin corrected it. I can finally see so much better! She was professional and communicated everything really clearly. So happy I went to see her! The office staff were also great and helped me understand how my benefits applied for the visit. Highly recommend!”
