Dr. Ammons was kind and thoughtful when I went to his office to follow up with them after the cataract surgery. The nurses were able to take eye exam and compare to previous exam, prior to surgery. Very helpful and informative information to know.

I had followed my brother to Dr Ammons who turned out to be better than I expected! He was respectful, informative and gave me an excellent tooth review! What's not to appreciate!

Everyone I have encountered when I have an appointment is concerned and courteous, often smiling. Wait time was reasonable and new setting is welcoming and comfortable. Dr. Ammons, most of all, always is professional and kind at the same time, often sending greetings to my husband, Stephen.

I have known Dr. Ammons for over 20 years. He has always been honest and kind to me. He takes time to explain and discuss options and that is why I chose him for my cataract surgeries and PRK. He follows through on commitments and gets the best results possible! Love the new office. It was time!

Dr Ammons did my cataract surgery 7 years ago and he's been my opthamologist ever since. He is very professional and answers all my questions. I feel very confident with his care. His staff is wonderful, they all make you feel welcome when you come in for your appointment!
