Dr Ficke, I saw Dr. Ficke for the first time and was impressed. We went over my vision history and details of the images taken during this visit. She referenced previous images for comparison. I did need a new prescription for bifocals and Dr Ficke made sure I left with it. Overall, it was a good visit.
