Very knowledgeable, yet still listens to any concerns. I’m confident he has my best interests at heart.

Nothing wrong with the clinic itself . The doctor appeared knowledgeable about mess a patient but he did not seem genuine or authentic when relaying information to me. He seemed rushed and like he couldn’t leave quick enough to get to his next patient.
Jun-2025
Very professional and upfront.
Jun-2025
My eye pressure test was done twice. By both tech & doc. Will I be charged twice for this test? Maybe only the doctor should do test, if results are in question by tech.
