I highly recommend visiting this location. Henry and the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, ... making you feel welcomed as soon as you walk through the door. They ensure that you are completely satisfied with your visit from beginning to end. The customer service is outstanding. Dr. Jiang is exceptional; she took her time and was very thorough in explaining the eye exam process. We never felt rushed at any point during our visit.

Dr. Elder was very pleasant and didn’t rush me and was incredibly smart, he really tried to get to k... now me, you can tell he cares about his patients and he’s a very warm and kind man. Oscar was great too super helpful and informative, great customer service skills. And the lady that did the scan for my eyes was very nice and friendly too she was sweet. Would highly recommend best eye place I’ve been to in a long time.
