One of the best eye appointments I've ever had - every team member took the time to inform me - answer my questions and provide the highest level of care to me and my eyes. They taught me as well about my conditions and how to better manage them at home. I'd rate my appointment a 10/10. My confidence in this practice is extremely high. I've already shared my good experience with friends and family members.

Would have liked a bit more time spent fully reviewing the findings from her exam. There are findings indicated in her chart note (e.g., cupping of the optic nerve) that were not discussed with me. While I presume that's because they were not significant or worrisome to her, it would have been good for her to tell me about that and why I also should not be worried.
