Very professional and inviting at the same time. No other eye doctor had ever really explained what astigmatism was to me in-depth and it was kinda neat learning something new

Dr. Samson has been consistently incredible each visit. He has seen my 2yo daughter, since she was about 6 months. She has extreme white coat syndrome and has a meltdown very easily, whenever in an office, outpatient setting. Dr Samson is so great with her! He never pushes her and makes the experience as enjoyable as possible for a little one. He’s efficient and knowledgeable. He always answers all of my questions thoughtfully and will take the time to address any concerns or questions. He explains his findings in a very easily comprehensible way. I would recommend him anyone, especially those with children! He is fantastic at what he does. Thankful to have him treating my daughter!

We have been seeing Dr. Samson for a very long time, recently over the years we have felt very rushed at appointment and felt like Dr Samson was fustrated with our son because of his special needs. Not long after my younger sons appointment his therapist thought he couldn't see I ended up taken him to another clinic where there was extreme vision concern we at noticed such a change his he was placed in glasses something we thought should have been caught earlier...this last appointment we felt very rushed and not fully satisfied which is extremely hard as putting trust in doctors is extremely important as my kidos aren't able to communicate like others kids can!

Dr. Samson took the time to listen to my vision problems that I was having, and was kind and considerate while doing so. I never felt rushed. He listened closely. He examined my eyes and gave me encouragement that he could improve my vision with correction and additional prism. He made my day and I told him so. I can't wait for my new glasses to arrive.
