Everything about this place is awesome! The facility is beautiful, the equipment high-tech, and the people are warm and personable. My daughter is autistic and felt completely comfortable throughout her visit from the testing to the exam to picking out glasses. Dr. Joe was thorough in explaining what is going on with our vision now, as well as what to expect in the future. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking eye/vision care!
