I had a great experience but with Dr. Mitchell today at the target optical. He was very kind efficient quick but spent the time that I felt I needed. I would highly recommend using Dr. Mitchell.

It was with Dr. Young, not Dr. Mitchell.
She was very professional and gave me the feeling that she really was interested in my health. She took the time to carefully answer my questions and make certain that I felt I had all the time I needed for a thorough exam. Dr. Mitchell may be good, but I was so impressed with Dr. Young, that I feel I would be disappointed if my next exam was not with her.
