Went into this office to have my daughters eyes examination. The doctor did the exam and then said we needed to get eye drops to do the exam right to determine the prescription. Why not do that before we even come in? So on to the next step. On top of that they rescheduled our next appointment 4 times in a row 1 week apart from each other. basically they called us every week and rescheduled.
We get the prescription and it's way way to strong. So now we are 4 months into this thing and still my daughter doesn't have glasses she can wear. I've spend alot of money getting 2 pair of glasses and the prescription isn't right.

I read some of the reviews and it's hard to believe someone would leave a bad review of this place. The people at the desk are so nice! I want to personally give a shout out to Laura. She is a Jack of all trades! I wish every office had a Laura there. She is so patient, helpful and kind. We were laughing up a storm today. Very happy with my appointment today.

Had an emergency with a contact lens problem - Dr. Rios and the entire staff were absolutely fantastic in scheduling me in on no notice. Entire staff from receptionist to technician to Dr. Rios were professional and friendly. Dr. Rios is a true gentleman. Strong recommendation! Thanks so much for helping me out.

Dont go to a chain store! Go to a private practice for special care. The staff are delightful. Pleasant and courteous. The receptionist took extra steps to make sure my insurance was right. The doctor, smiling and charming. Answered all my questions without rushing. Thanked me for choosing his practice. How often do you see that, really? From the receptionist to the person who checked my eyes, to the doctor, the cashier person, the the tech in the glasses store, all perfect. I'm a nurse, I know professional and caring, and they are the best I've seen in a loooong while. Thank you!
