Comprehensive Eye Exams

Our evaluations include visual acuity tests, preliminary screenings, and intraocular pressure checks. Patients receive personalized recommendations for maintaining optimal eye health based on their results.

Best eye doctor I have been to. Thorough, knowledgeable and patient. I am not giving it 5 stars because I ordered glasses. They were overpriced and took forever. I'll keep seeing the doctor but won't order glasses there again.

Didn't even get to see the doctor. I came to get safety glasses for work, and my job is supposed to pay for it. On the site it states that I can bring in a prescription from within the past two years. Now I get here and because it expired in august they're trying to force me to get an eye exam. I asked how much for the eye exam for contacts and the very rude receptionist tells me $150! That's outrageous with EyeMed insurance. Last doctor I went to charged me about $60.. RIP OFF, go somewhere else where they'll provide good customer service and won't gouge you. That&apos
