Report
Came in today to get my eye exam. I have to say one of the staff members Bonnie was extremely rude! I was hoping for better customer service as I wasn't exactly comfortable getting my eyes checked but she made my experience worse. I felt she was giving me attitude and I would not recommend this eye clinic to anyone. Do some research in the area and visit another if you can.
