Although one couldnt see it with my mask on, I entered and left with a smile on my face. The receptionist, assistant and Dr. Sam were all courteous and congenial. My care was highly professional and I have the utmost trust in them moving forward from this initial visit. Thank you for your care.

The receptionist today was so rude that we ended up walking out we went in to get glasses and they couldn't even help us fit them to our child. We asked to make an appointment for our other child and we got back "busy" and she closed the window. Will be looking else ware for glasses as our child can't use the ones from there because they are to tight and the refused to help adjust the glasses after driving over an hour to get there. Worst place ever.
