From the time I got there to the time I left I felt it I was really cared for. The people were Incredible. Dr. Hanske gave me the most thorough eye examination I’ve had in my entire life. His explanations of different things were spot on and very understandable. He just instilled confidence in me. I’m really glad I went to him.
I was so incredibly happy with the care we received from Dr. Swanson! He had so much patience with my girls & cared genuinely about them! He was informative & kind. Thank you Dr. Swanson!
Been going to this facility for 48 years. Eventhough the staff has changed over the years with retirements and such, they’ve always hired high caliber people! Dr. Swanson is my current Optometrist, and he’s been great!
Really terrific all around experience. Had multiple conversations with two different receptionists who were very friendly and equally as helpful. I was seated BEFORE my scheduled appointment where I had an enjoyable and thorough exam with Dr. Mondo. A sincere thanks to the whole time for a job well done!
Super easy to book an appointment and they snuck me in within a few days - and they’re open on Saturdays during the summer?! So convenient! I haven’t been there in a couple years due to insurance switch, but coincidentally ended up seeing Dr. Monda again - caught up like no time had passed, took his time making sure everything was good to go. Something new to me was doing a depth perception test with the nice assistant that set me up - I’ve never had that done at other practices! Definitely felt taken care of, no pressure to buy cheaters or sunglasses from them, which is why I plan on coming back to check them out once I didn’t have dilating drops in and could see again. Also loved the beach vibe decor.
