I had an eye emergency and I booked Dr. Marten for a same day visit. The wait was really long, but I’m very glad I went to see Dr. Marten. She was great, explained things to me in better detail, and gave me some eye drops with clear instructions on when and how to take it.

This place is awful I would not recommend it to anyone. This place is very unprofessional I waited over 2 hours to see a doctor and still I didn’t see the doctor. They didn’t have the courtesy to let me know they were going to dilate my eyes so I didn’t know I wasn’t going to be able to see for 4-6 hours. They don’t tell you this and they expect you to drive home on your own. Worst part is the wait to see the doctor. Never ever going back to this place. I had to leave I was so upset with their unprofessionalism.

Staffs were kind as well as Lisa. Although lots of people were there so I waited more than 30 min to see a doctor, all treatment was satisfactory.

This was my first visit with Dr. Marten. Her office was able to get me in within two days when my regular Dr. couldn't see me for three weeks:( My visit was great, prompt, courteous and the office has first rate equipment and facilities. Dr. Marten is now my new regular Dr.!

I arrived an hour early prepared to wait. After 15 mins. they started processing me. Everyone smiled, laughed, and kept me informed with what was going on.
LDVerified patient
My husband and I both received high quality care by Lisa Marten and staff. My husband received prk and I received lasik a year after. Lisa plus staff calmed my nerves and gained my trust since I was afraid of the process and that something may go wrong. They even gave me a stress ball during the procedure and a blanket. Thus, they were very attentive during the process.

While the wait to be seen was right at an hour, the staff were courteous and offered hot coffee and snacks. I was there a total of two and half hours. One hour waiting from 10:30 to 11:30 and then various eye exams including a dilation of my eyes which required a bit of a wait time, but the everyone was so attentive and pleasant that the time when by fast.

Very nice, pleasent, very professional, werk done here. Coffee good, nice building & offices
JMVerified patient
the staff was helpful and professional. They were able to address all of my concerns. It was an excellent appointment despite wait times exceeding 1 hour. I am extremely light sensitive and go years between doctor's visits because I have had poor experiences but this was a good appointment.

Dr. Shannon Leon was VERY kind, informative, and explained everything in great detail! The wait time was to be expected, only because it is a very large office with many patients, (Which is a good sign) but there are also 7 Doctors on staff, so even with a larger crowd waiting, the flow of patients being attended to was very efficient! And also the staff are great and friendly as well.
Would Highly recommend!

Took quite some time to be called back and then the steps seemed to go fairly effeciently. Dr Leon gave me as much time as I needed. Arrived at 1:50 for a 2:00 appointment. Left the office at 4:10.
