Amazing experience for my 11 year old and 6 year old. Friendly staff, clean and very nice office, great provider. Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful and explained everything well. They were great with my kids and let them see exactly what they were doing and made them feel important and part of the process. They spent extra time making sure my 6 year old found his perfect pair(s) of glasses, we never felt rushed.

Absolutely amazing experience all the way through! Front desk staff were amazing, friendly and comforting. Allison (sp?) was welcoming and started assisting me with finding glasses and sunglasses that fit my face and my style before meeting Dr. Brad. The Dr was amazing all-around! Super friendly, very informative. Kevin helped me with final glasses and sunglasses choices, and I am very happy with the choices! Super friendly, excellent customer service, and all around amazing. You all are AMAZING, and have a new patient. Bringing my kiddos next!
