Made the appointment to learn whether I needed to revise my eyeglass prescription. The examination showed that the revision was needed.
I was especially impressed by the courtesy and professionalism of Dr. Knappenberger and all the staff members.

Dr Knappenberger is a caring, thorough doctor who, while busy, still manages to make you feel that you are her only patient. She explains procedures, encourages questions, is knowledgeable in her field and kind. I would highly recommend this practice.

Always has a smile on her face and is a pleasure to work with and I am a difficult patient when it comes to multifocal contact lenses. She will know who is writing this review even without me providing a name.
I have been seeing her for aboit 7 years now.
