I had a wonderful experience during my visit. Every staff menter I made contact with was very courteous, (contagiously) happy, and helpful. My doctor was a perfect match as a glaucoma specialist; although I possibly have an advancShow moreed condition, I feel blessed to be in the "right hands!" I thank God for leading me to such a lovely and amazing eyecare clinic.
