I trust Dr. Ammel and her team, and I am enjoying better eye health plus vision over the years. I always get "seen" according to my scheduled appointment, and there's great integrity w.r.t. necessary tests and costs. Highly recommended professionals.

I wish I had discovered Dr. Ammel years ago. In over 40 years of visiting eye care professionals, this was my most thorough and meticulous exam. Great staff and pleasant experience!
