Nicest guy always. Four hour wait is VERY taxing and we might have been the youngest couple there. Don't know how you can improve it but...Dang!

The whole experience was so amazing! I’m blessed by God sending me to a very caring doctor. The staff were amazing. Thank you for the kindness and respect I was shown. I will tell anyone who needs to know about you to please go. You’re the best.

I had a 9:20 am appointment… I get it that there’s a process for getting in… going to the different offices for dilating eyes, images and other things before the Dr sees you but some patients are taking advice… coming in 1-2 hrs BEFORE their appointment time and being seen on a 1st come 1seen basis… that’s unacceptable! They should be worked in… around the scheduled on time appointments.

Dr Eddy is awesome but the wait is so long . We had a 2:00 pm appt and did not get out until 6:30 pm. We then had a 100 mile trip home. The long wait is the only thing we wish were different.
