I was a first time patient with perhaps an emergency type issue. My regular eye doctor sent pictures of my eye that were taken the day before. Taylor scheduled my appointment the same day, which was wonderful. My only issue was that I didn’t see the doctor until my eye injection was already scheduled. The same day. Only saw the doctor when he came to do the injection. He was very professional and nice but would have preferred to see him earlier with better explanations of my condition. All in all, I would still recommend them.
