Practice Gallery

I liked the smaller office setting as it felt more intimate. I was greeted right away with a friendly face who helped with my insurance and medical background. Both doctors I met with were professional and engaging, answering questions and asking pertinent information. They listened to concerns I had and offered a trial of a different type of contacts to see if they would work better for my extra dry eyes.
