My eyes had been bothering me for two weeks. I tried over the counter products but my symptoms seemed to worsen. I called to make an appointment and was able to get in within two days. The staff was very thorough with their exam which I needed this since I’d not been to an eye doctor in over 20 years. The entire staff made me feel comfortable. Explained every test they were running to determine the cause of my eye irritation. I would highly recommend to all family & friends! Best experience ever!
