"The doctors and their assistants, I wish I could rate separately, because I would give them 4-5 stars. ... Front desk seems frazzled and actively irritated... The waiting room is always full with at least a dozen people, and a simple eye checkup will take a minimum of two hours."
— LocalityBiz Review"This is very modern office using the best equipment. Doctors and staff are very professional and sincere. Billing has always gone smoothly."
