The office was small and busy. I had to speak to two different front desk employees to verify my insurance was inputted correctly and for check in. I was seen late and after one test I was told to wait again in another section of the office. The doctor wasn’t very personable at first but after my insurance was corrected the staff seemed more friendly. The selection of glasses was okay not as extensive as other places I’ve been.
