“She was so kind and really went the extra mile. I suffer from dry eyes and haven't really got much relief or help with managing this from other providers. She recommended products to try and took the time to write them out for me. She also took the time to search for an affordable contact brand that I can use for my dry eyes!! As a college student this was much appreciated. ”

Dr. Tiffany was prompt, professional and thorough in her examination. The front desk staff were very nice and filling out the forms online saved a lot of time. The no-frills office is extremely dated, but it had little impact on the outcome of my experience with this kind doctor.
