Office staff and assistants have never been anything but kind and courteous! The step by step process before seeing Dr. Jackson went quick and seemless. Dr. Jackson is the epitome of what a great doctor should look like. He has a kind and warm demeanor which makes you feel comfortable even when you are uncomfortable. He allows you to ask questions and he gives answers without you feeling rushed. He seems to have a great rapport with all of his patients. Dr. Jackson is my forever eye specialist!!!
