My husband and I are new to the area (5 years now) and have see Dr. Kirn, who is very attentive as his support staff. Very very efficient and professional in every way. We returned today for eyeglasses because we made the mistake last time to order them online, an experience I wouldn't recommend for old eyes. The women we dealt with today were phenomenally good. Great "bedside" manner, and Talented in helping us think through both aesthetics and practical issues pertaining to our eye-wear. not cheap, but I suspect we will be pleased when they arrive.
