Brett Burns gave me the best eye care, and prescription, really experienced and helped me. I know I can count on him for the best eye care. Sarah was very helpful and kind, helping me pick out my frames after I got my new prescription. I have insurance but paid out of pocket to go here, and Im very thankful I did, it was a great experience. Thanks!!

Report
Awful, called to set up a future appointment for debris in eye and they told me they will only service existing patients and refused service to me after spending 10 minutes on the phone asking questions and avoiding my question of setting up a future appointment. Unprofessional. I highly suggest you go to a more professional eye center

Report
Doctor Burns was very friendly and comforting. He was thorough and took plenty time explaining and answering questions. As someone with some anxiety issues, its very nice when someone tells you what is going to happen (and what its for) every step of the way. I would definitely recommend this place.
