For the last decade or so, I've had issues with my Rx. Contacts had worked perfectly fine, but anytime Id worn glasses, no matter the strength, my eyes just couldn't adjust. Id constantly be straining / squinting just to get my eyes to focus. It's been incredibly exhausting and inconvenient, to put it mildly.
Over this time, Ive seen half a dozen eye doctors and ophthalmologists, all of which have heard my story and were stumped. My eyes were/are healthy. My Rx is low. I've been clueless and beyond frustrated.
Now, fast forward to a few weeks ago when I had my first appointment with Dr. Shifflett, and within, what?, five minutes of speaking with her, I finally, finally, finally got an answer.
The solution was a subtle tweak to my Rx, and one that many other eye docs had seemingly overlooked throughout the years. Dr. Shifflett gave me a full 'astigmatism 101' session to explain it, and even left me with a very thoughtful written note that went into further detail if I was curious to learn more. She went above and beyond, to say the least, and clearly cares about what she does and helping every patient who walks through her doors. It was incredibly refreshing to have an actual dialogue rather than just to be told "I don't know" as I had been by so many in the past.
Dr. Shifflett is incredibly knowledgeable, down to earth, and just easy to talk to. She literally helped resolve a decades-long issue over the span of one appointment. (It feels SO good to wear glasses again!) Plus, the rest of the staff is friendly and welcoming, just the same.
All is to say, as long as I'm in the neighborhood, I don't see myself going anywhere else. (Pun absolutely intended.) I can't thank you enough!! 🤓
