Warm, friendly, professional, highly skilled - received the most thorough / comprehensive eye exam I've ever had in my 50+ years of wearing glasses & contacts.
I could not have been assigned a better eye doctor than dr vize. She listens to my concerns and answers with understandable words. After my cataract operation she became my follow up doctor. I was hoping I would get her when I returned for follow up visits.
Dr. Vize is excellent, not only an expert clinician and diagnostician, but as a kind and compassionate person.
Always a great experience!!
She's the best, thorough, explains everything and I got my appt. quickly. Very professional and nice!
Bar None.
Dr Vize is very professional, and was quick to diagnose me and advised a conservative treatment plan to try before something more invasive. She also took the time to explain everything in detail, including proactive plans to prevent reoccurance once this issue is resolved.
Dr Vize made sure I understood my eye health and made it clear that everything was stable.
Listens to my concerns and suggests ways to help improve my problems.
Knowledgeable, articulate atcommunicating diagnosis
