Had a great experience at Jackson Davenport vision in Summerville. Ive been struggling with blurry / vision issues for awhile. They were able to quickly give me an exam & recommend a lens prescription. They have so many glasses to choose from. The receptionist helping at the front even helped offer her opinion on what would look best on me. Highly recommend Jackson Davenport for eye exam, glasses ect.

Everyone is smiling and engaging. You never feel rushed and it doesnt feel busy but i know they are completely booked. I think they Must schedule adequate time for each person to maintain that less hurried atmosphere. As a nurse, I can testify that other areas of healthcare do not provide this unhurried, patient-centered care. What a shame! My husband and I have been patients since we moved to the low country and we will happily continue !
