Aug 09, 2016
My experience with this office was first rate. Although there was a bit of a wait, it was worth it to me because of the total professionalism I experienced from the screening staff/exams to the visit with the opthamalogist, who was very sensitive; responsive to questions/concerns and appeared to be extremely knowledegable and competent.
