Welcoming and helpful. Thoughtful questions to help determine what I need in a contact lens. No pressure or rushing, I can see!! Thanks:)
What a fantastic experience! I couldn’t be happier with the full exam, the glasses and the absolute professional service. Thanks so much!
I can see clearly now with glasses on 🙂
