Worst customer service! I had an appointment at 1030 was told to be there at 1015. I call to find out exactly where the office is located only to be told Zoiy failed to call due to the doctor having some sort of emergency. The emergency was known early!! Why would she wait until the customer has to call!!! I have waited for this appointment!!! Not to mention the only office in my area that take the insurance!! So disappointing!!

The world is in Focus! I can't remember my last eye exam that produced the correct lens prescription. Dr. Vanessa Garcia-Balok gave a very through exam and her prescription was perfect. I can see everything sharp and clear. I recommend scheduling you appointment today. You will not regret it.
