My first visit was very satisfactory. The staff is cheerful and immediately helpful, being fully pro... fessional without excess formality. Dr. Akesson performed a detailed vision test and thorough eye examination, listened to my concerns about my current and future vision issues, was knowledgeable about my conditions (I’ve had two retinal detachments plus cataract surgery, oh and I’m old) and made useful suggestions and recommendations about things I could do to help stave off any degeneration. Like many optometrist’s offices, they sell glasses but it didn’t feel as if that is the focus of the business, rather on patient eye health and ensuring the best vision achievable.

I have gone here for multiple appointments and so has my 8 yr old. Friendly staff, nice selection of... glasses, and they provide you with adequate information to make decisions (price, upgrades, insurance coverages, etc). Overall I'm happy with my service here.
