    I give 5 stars to only Heather Ashley who is best eye doctor. I am writing this because I don't understand why the Tidewater eye center office has to charge a fee for the dmv administrator office is ordering or recommending a vision health exam when someone who renewaled. I called the doctor office to make a appointment with them. Then they didn't have to. Just dropped off the form. Never about a fee. They said that I had a appointment and I did. And they said their a fee for one form. Hopefully when I get there it will smoothly and graceful.
