Excellent very professional and great staff
Outstanding ! A true consummate professional , even keeled at all times & a gentleman always . This man has enormous energy & talent . Find out for yourself
While the doctor is professional, some of his staff need to improve. For a second time and recently yesterday didn’t send my medication to the pharmacy causing me to call the answering service after you closed. The medication was antibiotic to be taken immediately. They had to alert the doctor to send it. The employee has to be spoken to.
Dr. Friend is an exceptional specialist. He is thorough, congenial, communicative, and knowledgeable. I feel totally safe and informed when he treats me. Likewise, his staff is a credit to the practice. Even with what seems to be a fairly heavy patient load, all assistants cleanly know their jobs: shepherding, testing, explaining, and generally setting a comfortable atmosphere. This is a thoroughly professional practice.
Top notch! This practice offers all encompassing care and diagnostics at covering all aspects of eye health, with opticians too. Dr Friend and each and every staff member who did the very extensive testing , aka Cararact assesment , were kind and considerate. Im looking forward to having the procedure soon, and feel totally confident in Dr. Friend's ability and judgement . As a bonus, I am comforted by his amiable personality and gentle bedside manner . You cant go wrong here . 10 stars on scale of 1-5 !
All went well … appointment was honored and exam was quick and didn’t have to wait too long
