I was very impressed with this practice and the doctor. My daughter has cerebral palsy and the doctor was very patient and kind to her. He explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it. My daughter felt very comfortable and stated she really like the doctor. I highly recommend this practice.

Our experience was not a positive one. We went in for an eye exam for my young son who is a healthy, energetic boy. He attends school full time. Not willing to sit nicely for the doctor during the eye exam that day...was told by the doctor that my almost 4 year old son was in need of testing including neurological testing because the eye doctor felt my son may have autism! Didn't know eye doctors specialized in diagnosis of autism. I think that anyone that works with young children should have the patience and intelligence to know that children can have bad days and know how to recognize that and

My experience at Family Vision with Doctor Martin was one filled with enlightenment and joy! After struggling with focus issues my whole life, Dr. Martin was able to attribute a part of that to my vision, specifically how my eyes work when reading or trying to focus. The exam was very in depth and Dr. Martin has an incredible attention to detail. He is friendly and kind, very knowledgeable, and took the time to explain my diagnosis so I could understand it. My experience at Family Vision was like nothing I've had before at an eye doctors office; no one tried to shuffle me out in a rush
