I had a fantastic experience at this eye dr office! The staff was helpful and friendly and the eye dr was the best eye dr I’ve ever seen. She was friendly, the exam was thorough and she explained everything very well! She went over the health of my eyes and her recommendation and why. I was completely impressed and informed.
