Very friendly, prompt, and thorough. He answered all my questions patiently and fully, as did the staff who did my pre-screening. I didn't feel rushed like at a visit to the medical doctor, and I feel confident that I got the best prescription for me. I'd highly recommend him to others.

He's taken care of our whole family for years. My diabetic husband who grew up with coke bottle glasses, nearsighted me with family history of macular degeneration, and our child who underwent patch therapy and continues to wear glasses. We pretty much touch on all the typical eye issues now that we are into bifocals! He is extremely knowledgable about it all and clearly enjoys his field of knowledge. He is kind and respectful and chooses staff extremely well. They are all just lovely, helpful people and we could not be more grateful to know them. We moved to NB and continued to go to him even though it's an hour and a half away. We have that much faith in his knowledge.

Great service, great people, awesome with kids! My appointments are covered under a plan but I do notice he is a little pricey but worth it. This guy is thorough, on time, and will spend the time to answer your questions. He DOES NOT run his office like an assembly line like many others do.
