Dr. McIntyre had a very pleasant manner. It was obvious that she had read the nurse's notes before she came into the examination room, as she asked about a minor comment that I had made about my night vision. She was extremely thorough in investigating the source of the issue affecting my night vision and evaluating the overall health of my eyes. She was also thoughtful and informed me each time she had to touch me to evaluate my eyes. I am extremely pleased to have found Dr. McIntyre. She was thoughtful about when I would need to be seen for my next regular visit and didn't just tell me to come back in one year.
