"Sort of like an optical care processing factory. Set up for all optical needs but you feel like you're in an assembly line. No real personal asistance or explanation of procedures."
- Yelp review cited via MapQuest"This office has resorted to herding cattle. Very long wait in the waiting room and in the exam room waiting for the Dr. I am seriously thinking of finding a new office after many years with them."
- Apple Maps review"I've heard of doctors doing things for money rather than health, but I never thought I'd see one try that with me. I did not have the surgery with them."
