I arrived early and was checked in quickly. The front staff was nice and friendly. I Waited to be called and started my tests. All went well. It took a little longer to see the doctor, but it was nice to see him. The staff over at the glasses or prescription desk was awesome, helpful and friendly. Thank you.

Dr. Gollance is very professional; I wish he had more of a "bedside" manner! It makes you feel a little intimidated and afraid to ask questions.
