Dr. Daugherty and his team were amazing! I read many good reviews about him, and he was exactly like all of the reviews described him to be! He explained his findings and answered all questions we had, and most importantly he and his staff were great with our 4 year old.

I wanted options to strengthen my son's eyes. But everyone is normally polite and professional.

Dr. Daugherty gave us the glasses prescription for our infant son without the PD measurement. This wasn’t mentioned during the appointment. Later in the day when we were attempting to order glasses for our son and realized the measurement was missing, we called the office to ask about it. They said you have to pay $45-60 for that measurement. I asked “so how do we order glasses with the prescription you gave us?” And they responded “you can’t.”
