“I had a great initial appointment with Dr. Lingad — she was communicative, listen to my background, answered all my questions and even helped recommend some frames to purchase. Her staff was attentive and friendly, checking me in right away and helping to explain my insurance benefits. The office was easy to get to, clean and aesthetically pleasing.”
