I absolutely love the care, energy, time and attention given to my curious 5yo and I during his visit. Everything was thoroughly explained. Wonderful place and service.
What keeps this review from being 5stars is that the space is small so there is little to no privacy.

My exam was great and my experience with Dr. Joy is always positive! She gets my Rx for contact lens and eye glasses to the "T" and that's why I'm a returning client.

There is an additional fee for a contact lens fitting and evaluation for all contact lens patients (both new and established patients).
