The visit was both quick and thorough. The entire visit lasted just under an hour, and that included a 20 minute wait for my pupils to dilate. Dr. Shields explained the tests she performed, and the results, and what it meant. Her staff are both competent and polite. This was a stress-free appointment.

Dr Shields and her staff was awesome! I didn't feel rushed in the exam. She took time to explain what was going on with my eyes, that is very important to me. She took me in the eye exam room as soon as I completed my paperwork, so no waiting and I found a great pair of glasses with the help of her staff.

The staff was very professional. From the time I enter the store the customer service was excellent. I used to go to the hospital for my eye exam. After today’s visit I think I found a new home for my eyes.
