Real Reviews from Real Patients
for their patients. And they were very thorough in there eye exams and evaluation. They explained everything in great detail of what they meant. And of what they saw and how could and would help me and I greatly appreciate that? I also liked the fact that besides me having a speech impediment They did show me kindness, courtesy and consideration, and I do appreciate that as well Sincerely wendy norton

So appreciate everyone one of their team members there!

This is my second year with Dr Pippin. She has fitted me with gas permeable contacts that no one has been able to do since I had lasik about 20 years ago. For the first time in many years, I can drive at night. My vision is crystal clear and it has not changed enough to make much of a difference a year later. I am so grateful for all she has done for me. She will be the only person I ever see for my vision from now on. Do I recommend her? Heck ya - exceptional in every way from the staff to the doctor.
