February 10, 2021Ronald C.Verified patient
Everyone was terrific- including the women in the reception area who had to put up with what I consider extremely rude people i had to listen to while i waited- those ladies are martyrs. Sam did my initial exam and is just completely terrific. Dr. Nielsen as always, was great. Love this place.

Dr. Nielsen was able to answer most of my questions. There were certain things he didn't seem to want to answer. What he did answer seemed pretty well thought out. He seemed too insistent about a certain approach without providing a rationale.

November 27, 2019Zoubida B.Verified patient
I made my appointment through the Warby Parker website, following prompts to find a doctor in my area. The website stressed to find out the pupil distance so that I could order glasses from them, this doctor didn’t have the machines to measure pupil distance. For that reason I was disappointed
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Doctor didn’t even spend 1 min with me he wasn’t free enough to listen to my concerns as soon as he entered he was like ok see me in 3 months over and over. Really bad practice would not recommend
