“The office is nice with a TV that helps kids be confident and also wait while the drop works. the waiting room is spacious with lots of seats. The staff is great and nice, patient and efficient. Dr McCord was amazing with my son for his first appointment with an eye doctor. Her office has everything to ease the different exams. My son usually cries at doctors appointment, and this time he laughed!”
