Mr Benjamin at the front desk is ridiculous. I attempted to make an appointment twice. The 1st time I went in Benjamin was so dry! While making the appointment I asked “ how much for the exam”? He says “ what do you mean” I stated “what can I expect to pay for my eye exam. Once again he says “what do you mean “ Now I’m irritated and I ask him “what do you mean what do I mean? Why are you confused’ Then he proceeds to give me the details. I didn’t keep the appointment but called a week later. Once again Benjamin is dry! I state I’m wanting to see if you have availability for an eye exam this morning. Clearly “what do you mean “ is how he responds to everything. I don’t have time for this weird guy. I can’t believe they allow him to be the individual giving 1st impressions of this business.

So happy we chose this practice for our new lenses! Ben gave us a nice warm welcome while checking us in! He even chatted with us while we waited to be called. Dr. Arneson was very attentive and provided a quality check of our eyes, including having retina imaging! Now our girl Jen! She got us all the way together! She even helped me pick out frames to fit my thick prescription lol! Overall we had an amazing experience and look forward to visiting them for our vision needs! - Mr. & Mrs. Roberson
