My two children had their first visit with her today. She was very good. Hard to put into words but just all-around collected, confident, direct, positive, practical, organized, competent - I enjoyed her. I liked how she was very Show moreto the point and kept things moving forward while still answering all of my questions (about how to conduct the eye exercises my boys need) so that I both understood fully what needs to be accomplished and also have specific instructions on how to conduct the exercises properly. So helpful. I hardly ever leave reviews but I am so grateful for ABC Children’s Eye Specialists. Shawn, who did the intake and all of their initial testing today, was above-average as well. And the woman in the Optics department is always so good to us (If you’re reading this - thank you for always being a blessing and God bless you!!) - Cheers
Everyone was friendly. The doctor could improve by actually introducing herself to the parent and allow the parent to do the same even if just for appearances. She just walked in said her name and said she was going to check the Show morepatient’s eyes. It’s as if the parent didn’t matter. Grant it, she’s the doctor but without patients she is just a person full of optometric knowledge. Treat the person who brought the patient in to see you with a little more courtesy.

Friendly staff
Dr. M is an exceptional doctor. She is honest, kind, patient and so real with my son. I appreciate her and her staff so much. I am so happy I found this location.
Dr. Makoshi really took her time to sit with us and answer my questions. She seemed caring and it was a great experience overall.
I love her she's the best! Very caring and an excellent Eye doctor!
excellent service
Very good with my 6yr old daughter
The staff here are so genuine and friendly with children. They worked so well with my very active boy and made him feel comfortable by making the whole process seem like they were playing games while they examined him. They have fun tools they use for examination and testing their vision.
We had a awesome experience here. The nurses and doctor were very sweet and patient with my 3yr old son.
Very nice, explained everything in detail and is great with kids!
very nice and friendly Dr. The description is very clear.
