Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

This was my first time buying a pair of glasses so it was not an easy decision for me on what frames looked right on me and type of lenses to get but the staff was so helpful every step of the process with me. I can’t wait to get my new frames and so thankful for their expert guidance.

Delightful. He is friendly and cheerful. Really likes to measure eyes. Maybe that is why his rates are so low. It is like a job and a hobby for him. It's like he has this powerful urge to make sure you have the best lens as soon as possible. I am sure he married another optometrist for love, but I think being about to talk about measuring eyes in the evening had to have been part of it.

This review is in the midst of the Pandemic shut down. He fit me in and I am for ever grateful to him and his office. He is the best doctor I have seen in a while. He's processional ,attentive and has a great personality. He had me laughing and has a great tender touch.I was very comfortable and so very happy with the outcome. Thank you to him and his whole staff for making a new patient feel welcome.Great job. I'm not going anywhere else.

Great experience and very friendly staff. I would of gave it 5 stars for comfort but it was quite warm in the office. Although, my A/C at work and also at my house is 73-74 degrees, so maybe it is something I’m use to but would definitely recommend them.

Had a great experience here they were able to get me in the same day when I was on my last pair of contacts and 1 had torn that morning I was finished with my appointment before my lunch was over. Staff and Dr are so friendly and welcoming I'll be going here from now on I highly recommend them.
