I liked Drew Dayton and his explanations of vision, potential need for cataract surgery were excellent. And there was no rush.
Dr. Dayton and his staff are so friendly and caring. Dr. Dayton always makes me feel heard and addresses all my questions.
Professional and thorough exam. Following up on one vision deficiency.
Dr Dayton is great. The young lady who did all of the tests was nice. This was my first appointment since wearing glasses full time. She did the vision test with my glasses on so my vision was 20/20. Should I have also been tested without my glasses? My husband is a patient of Dr Traynor. He says he is tested with and without his glasses.
He immediately introduced himself upon entering the room, he remained pleasant and knowledgeable. Very professional, love their office’
Thank you.
