Report
Great visit. She really took the time with me to explain my prescription and get my input. I loved that she had "glasses" that she slid lens with my Rx into so I could see what my glasses would be like before investing hundreds of dollars into a pair. So glad to have finally found an optometrist who treats me like part of the treatment team. I had started to think I had to choose between an optometrist conglomerate that I'd never have the same doctor twice and the eye techs did more of the exam than the doctor or a patronizing doctor who just tells me they know best. Diane was awesome.

Youll enjoy a visit with her as much as a friend of the family. She was extremely thorough. Working with Wally for my glasses has always been great too.
