From the moment that I walked in, to the moment that I left, everyone treated me with respect and kindness. Everyone was very professional. Doctor Brawley did an excellent examination and gave me as much time as I need for the examination. His assistant was also very good. Ordering my new glasses went very smoothly. The girls at the desk were also very good.
