I have been in Sarasota for about 8 months, the staffs was very professional, friendly and showed so much kindness. Dr. Golden was very knowledgeable, informative about my eyes. He was very tentative to my eye problem and answer all my questions and made recommendations. I have found me an Optometrist. Thank you.
