Another pleasant visit with Dr. Kemp. I have had many eye examinations with him and they have all been done professionally. He has gone over the results thoroughly with me. His staff is courteous and polite. A great place to get your eyecare!

10/10 experience. If you’re looking to find an office that does an extensive eye exam, this is the place to go. Dr. Kemp is extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. And his team is very friendly and welcoming. This is my go to place from now on!
My previous eye doctor relocated to Vermont, and my husband had been encouraging me to see Dr. Kemp for a while. I finally made the appointment — and wow, was he right. This was the most thorough, technologically advanced eye exam I have ever had, and I left genuinely impressed on every level. From the moment I walked in, the experience was warm and welcoming. Cathy at the front desk set the perfect tone - friendly, and clearly happy to be there. That kind of energy matters more than you know. Diane, Dr. Kemp's assistant, was wonderful. She walked me through every single test with patience and clarity, making sure I understood what was being checked and why. The technology they use is remarkable — I opted for the Optomap ($49, and completely worth it), which captures detailed layers of the retina and can flag risks you wouldn't otherwise catch. At 54, I was relieved to get a clean result, but the peace of mind alone is priceless. They also performed a neuro scan to check eye alignment, which I had never experienced before. And then there's Dr. Kemp himself. He is everything you want in a physician - smart, calm, and genuinely reassuring. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, answered every question, and has this wonderfully calming presence that puts you completely at ease. You can tell immediately that you are in the hands of someone who truly knows their craft. When it came time to choose frames, the lovely blonde woman who helped fit me for glasses was just as impressive - knowledgeable, and helpful. Every single person in this office brought their best. This is a practice where excellence is clearly the standard, from the front door to the exam chair. Five stars, without question.
I love this place!! The team is nice helpful honest and does not push sales on you. This has become my permanent place for eye care. Cathy is always helpful when I call amd have questions. I could hear her Smile over the phone which makes me smile as well. Thank you Cathy for your sense of urgency and for always following through. See you all soon.
Awesome place to go, the staff greeted you with a smile and asked if I needed any help. They gave me my appt. and got all my info. That they needed. Secondly; they explained to me what I needed to do before the appt. Thirdly ; on the day of my appt. Dr. Kemp was very thorough with my eye exam. I ordered my glasses there and they were prompt! They called me when they were ready for pick up. I just want to say thank you to everyone there.
