My husband has been a patient for over 25 years and our children and myself for over 15 years. They are an absolute joy to work with and take your eye health very seriously. A great staff that runs like a well-oiled machine, we couldn't be happier!

I wish all doctors offices ran like this office! Every single person in the office is kind, knowledgeable, and patient. From the first phone call, through paperwork,, and before exam procedures the staff is so great! Dr. Joe was so thorough! The first time seeing the back of my eye balls was a little strange, but he took the time to explain everything and even showed me the picture of his eye! This is the first time an office had a trial pair of contacts for my prescription and I was pushed to get glasses or contacts. They talked me through how my insurance works, how to best take advantage of

My wife and I appreciate the care and time received by Dr. J and his staff in helping us select the best frames and getting a good fit. This is the first pair of progressives that I have been able to use without falling back on a selection of readers. Previously I had to switch out to different prescriptions when looking at a monitor or my phone.

I saw Dr. Joe and am so grateful to him for his expertise. I now have the perfect prescription for my progressive lens. I left the office with the new glasses on and never had to adjust to them! This is a first for me. Also, I love the inexpensive frames.Thankyou to Nicole for her patience and assistance in picking them out. I am a very satisfied and happy customer. Never waste time going to any other place!!!
