We were very impressed with the level of care that the medical staff showed and their ability to communicate with a child. We all felt comfortable and well taken care of.
I think the service we received was excellent. 100% recommended.
They are very kind and are always attentive to all concerns.
The doctor was so kind even though my English was very poor, she knew how to understand what I wanted to ask and helped me with all her answers. Everyone was very kind.
I feel great that I finally found a doctor I trust for my eyes.
Everyone was great and so sweet especially for treating a 12 month old!
Doctor and staff were very knowledgeable.
She is extremely knowledgeable and she explained everything very thoroughly. She did not seem to be in a hurry to leave me to go on to other patients. My husband and I both were very pleased with everything.
Hey, she was very polite and warm, like we thought everything was perfect. So we can say maybe this was the most pleasant experience in the doctors for my son, like for he's 11 months old and like it was the best one, I think, after his birth, like I think she was perfect. So like, we definitely recommend her and she was professional. She was accurate, time - everything was nice. So thank you for her.
