We’ve been seeing Dr. Samson since my 5 year old was a few months old and he’s been great every time! Dr. Samson really cares for his patients. He not only talks to me about what he’s seeing/doing, but he talks about it age appropriately with my 5 year old.

Dr. Samson was so great! My kids loved him and it made their first eye appointment a success. We got in the car and they wanted to know when they could go back!
