My visit for a yearly checkup with Dr Himebaugh was very good. I was at the office for 1 hour. I waited about 15 minutes to see him. After I was called in to see him, everything ran like clockwork. I was checked by the nurse, eyes dilated, had refraction testing, and saw Dr Himebaugh all in about 45 minutes. Dr Himebaugh answered all the questions that I had. He is always pleasant and easy to understand. Thank you for an excellent experience!

Dr is very personable and knows what he’s doing. However, a 70 min wait time is ridiculous. The person who brought me back didn’t give any apology or acknowledgment of the long wait time. I’m also a provider and run my own office. I would never do that to a patient, especially without some explanation or apology.

Great doctor, but the communication with the people checking me before the doctor did not communicate with each other. I told Alenai had RK done years ago, but the next person dilated my eyes and started checking my vision without reading my chart or talking to Alena, dialating my eyes which does give a good prescription for glasses or contacts with RK eyes! So I have to come back another time for rechecking my eyes!! What a pain since I don’t live close.
