Excellent staff, technicians and Dr. Tanner were great and friendly. Explanations for every procedur... e and actually listening to our concerns and providing sound answers made it a nice experience.

Above and beyond amazing! If you are looking for a place to take care of you or your family’s visi... on needs, this is the place. We used to use another eye doctor here in town, and they were ok, but this place cares and takes care of their patients. We ran out of contacts, no problem! They gave us enough samples to get through until the new ones arrived. They have hours past 5pm for all of us that work and can’t get there mid-day. I can’t say enough good things about this place. They never try to upsell or steer you towards something you don’t need. I honestly feel bad for the patients at the other eye doctor now, like I wish I could tell them that there are way better options.
