"The doctors and their assistants, I wish I could rate separately, because I would give them 4-5 stars... Front desk seems frazzled and actively irritated... The waiting room is always full with at least a dozen people, and a simple eye checkup will take a minimum of two hours."
— LocalityBiz Review"The doctors are great in what they do and the staffs are nice and friendly.i had both my eyes-cataract with laser surgery...all your eye care needs this is a great eye center for the whole family."
— Birdeye Review"As we wait 40+ minutes, so far, past the appointment, we reflect on this business has the audacity to charge $75 if the patient is late. It should be businesses that are charged for wasting..."
