2.5 stars. The doc was great and the gentleman who helped me look at frames were great. The receptionist, on the other hand, is the reason for the poor rating. I had an appointment and showed up on time. Took over 40 minutes before I was seen by the doc. No apologies or even an acknowledgment of this inconvenience at all by the receptionist.

The receptionist was very rude and a bit condescending while explaining something I was having a hard time understanding. Customer service and respect are huge to me.
Other then that it's a real well kept place and the wait was tolerable and I liked the eye doctor.
