September 13, 2023Joseph M.Verified patient
Excellent care was given by Dr. Jost, and he really took the time to address all of my eye concerns. The modern technology used for my eye exam/contact fitting impressed me. They also have a great selection of glasses and informed me of special deals on particular brands. The office is very clean, modern, and friendly. The office staff was very patient and helpful as it takes me forever to pick out glasses. I highly recommend this eye doctor.

February 17, 2023Lenora T.Verified patient
I got something stuck inside my eyeballs, which is very difficult to take it out by myself.
But I’m so glad that I found Dr. Zachary Jost to help me. But I guess is not easy for him to take it out too, because it stuck very deep, but he was very patient and very gentle to hope me to took that thing out.
So I highly recommend Dr. Zachary, because he is very skillful, very helpful and very friendly!!!!!
