I could not see the eye chart properly because the bulb in the equipment needed replacement. Instead of black letters on white background, I was seeing black letters on medium grey background. Dr. Beggins and his assistant would not listen to what I was saying but continued to insist I pick the best choice. The prescription I received was not even close.

Very thorough physician with a caring bedside manner. Easy to talk to and engages patients to voice concerns. I would highly recommend him to friends and family members. Hands down the most thorough eye exam I have ever had. Wonderful and helpful staff as well.
