Office staff was friendly and helpful. Doc had great bedside manner and was thorough and concise. Made it very painless. Will come back again.
The doctor was great! I’d go back! But the staff was like leaving a car dealership, they just wanted more money then and there and got mad when I said I’d follow the doctors instructions and call when I knew I wanted to order the new contacts. They said I’d lose money if I listened to the doctor for a rebate? I won’t return to this office but I did enjoy the eye doctor herself if she moves I’d recommend her! Doctor was great, just be wary of the office people.
It was goo.
