“I had a truly phenomenal experience at this eye doctor’s office for my eight-year-old son. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations.
The doctor was absolutely amazing—very thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly informative. He took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that both my son and I could clearly understand, which made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire visit.
What stood out most was how attentive and compassionate he was. He made sure my son felt safe and cared for, and he never rushed through anything. Every question I had was answered with clarity and professionalism, and I truly appreciated how involved and informed he kept me during the entire exam.
The office itself was also excellent—clean, well-organized, and equipped with modern technology and up-to-date equipment.
Overall, I highly recommend him to any parent or anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional eye care provider.”

“It was a very clean office, they were very efficient. I had to fill out paperwork when I got there, I prefer to do it ahead of time. I waited for about 15 minutes or so before the doctor saw me. I was there because I had a stye in my upper eyelid. He gave me a thorough exam and took some kind of a picture of my eyes that shows if there is anything behind, kind of like an x-ray. When I was leaving, the guy at the desk told me I owed a copay, which I knew I didn't because I had already met my deductible, it turned out the charge was for the picture he took that was not covered by insurance. I told him that he should have asked me first if I wanted to pay for it before taking a picture. He didn't end up charging me for it, but was happy about it. That was the only negative about my visit.”
