Excellent practice. Dr. Memel is the ultimate professional. He went out of his way to get my husband in for an emergency visit. The office staff is one of the best I have ever worked with.

Lucky me! Dr. Emmel has my eye doctor for more than twenty years. I noticed a dramatic change in his manner several years ago. He changed from seeming to being stressed and rushed to the warm, caring physician he is today, delivering excellent treatment.

Dr. Emmel is always courteous, professional and thorough in his eye examinations During my last exam he found something that he thought a second opinion was needed and referred me for this, which I appreciated. I feel comfortble with having my eyes in his care and would highly recommend him.
