    I’d love to give them a 5 star review but I have not had an eye exam here. I drop off items for my sister who lives out of town and they are always smiley, friendly, and welcoming. The girl I always speak with is personable and if I didn’t already have a well established optometrist that I love, this is where I’d be trying.
