I can’t express how grateful I am to have met Dr. Dorothy Calvin. She is one of a kind ! And so is her husband Dr. Scott Calvin
My daughter has had an on going issue with her eye and Dr Dorothy has gone above and beyond for us. She is professional, kind and never rushes you to get to another appointment.

But the Dr, the Dr is AMAZING!!!! She took so much time to answer every question we had, explored all options and was super thorough. It becomes obvious why the wait to see her is so long, she...read full review
