“Quite receptive, friendly, helpful and patient. I would definitely recommend him and I am happy that I selected him from the available options. It was my first visit.”

“Dr. Vissicchio is the best eye doctor I have ever had. He helped me so much with my issues, while no other doctor seemed to be able to. His is THOROUGH and very caring. Gave me samples of things to try.... He is everything you want in a doctor, in my opinion. I left a previous office to travel to him and even with his staff, it was an amazing decision. I already recommended friends and family.”

The office is very friendly and clean. It was well set up with a lot of equipment to help diagnose all eye problems. The staff were very nice to me and my daughter as we waited and the time it took to do all the tests was seamless. The testing was extensive and thorough. I appreciate the care they took to perform multiple tests to make sure everything is great with my eyes. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thank you everyone who works there!!
