I had a very enjoyable experience starting from the moment I walked in. It is in a Central location within the AV and my home. I didn’t mind my old Optometrist but I am super grateful my wife setup an eye appointment for me here wShow moreith Dr. Shields. I was first greeted and signed in as any typical appointment would go but right away a young gal named Jasmine was on it. I did several easy exams with her and she was extremely professional and polite the entire time. When I went in and saw Dr. Shields, it was like seeing an old friend in a way. She is a very kind, smart and intelligent Optometrist that went through everything with me in a way that I FULLY understood. I did the $39 Retinal Scan/Ultrasound and it was worth every dollar to be able to see the amount of knowledge and science in the results. The fact that my doctor was telling me that I had great cholesterol and so many other health results from the optical nerves, that’s impressive. I was shown every aspect of my eyes, all the way down to a 3D image that is my actual eye. Very impressive piece of equipment that I have never seen in an Optometrist’s office. The layout of the office is welcoming and I felt like I wasn’t seeing an eye doctor, Jasmine took the reins right away and it was a great situation. Got new eyeglasses and happy!! Dr. Shields rocks! Look forward to the next go around. Cheers Joey G
I look forward to going to AVOC. The office staff ladies are quick, efficient and friendly. The technician I saw was personal, attentive, careful to note all my eye health details and questions for the doctor. An appointment wiShow moreth Dr. Sheilds is like having a visit with a good friend. The added benefit is that she evaluates my eyes like no doctor has ever before and gives candid advice about my options for vision correction and what may or may not work well. Dr. Sheilds continues to make time to find just the right fit in contact lenses. She also is current with research on the lastest product improvements. For all your optometric needs, I highly recommend AVOC and Dr. Sheilds as number one in Lancaster, California.
