I have been coming here for many years, The staff is very friendly and caring however, this was my first visit with Dr. Dayton, He was friendly, easy to talk to, and I didn’t feel rushed. He answered my questions in a very understandable way. I will definitely see him again for my eye care.

Definitely a wild and crazy guy. Ala Steve Martinish. He is funny but not a clown. Puts a person at ease as soon as he walks in. Looks deep into your eyes, but then he's supposed to do that. He thoroughly and competently checks out your eye health and tells you what is going on. And yes I can see, even though sometimes I feel bleary-eyed, like very early in the morning or very late at night. But then it's always been that way. LOL. Dr Drew is a great guy to have is your eye doctor. Highly recommended.
