Dr. Pannapara was recommended to me by my friend because I was well beyond overdue for an exam and because I found myself with a cracked hard lens and needed to get that addressed ASAP. I had grown up with hard contacts basically since childhood, but Dr. Pannapara really took the time to delve into options with me and discussed the pros and cons of continuing and even switching to soft contacts. I'm really grateful for her doing so and she didn't make me feel awkward or shameful for having been to an eye doc in so long. In the end, I opted for soft lenses and a pair of glasses. Her and her assistant were super helpful in suggesting styles, giving input, and made the whole process a breeze. When I went back for my following one year check up, they made short work of things. Im thrilled to have gone to Dr. Pannapara and will continue to do so!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Pannapara and her office. My 3 year old has special needs and Dr. Pannapara went above and beyond to make her comfortable and answer all my questions. She even had a fantastic glitter wand she pulled from a drawer after her exam to let my daughter play with. She was patient and sweet the entire time. The staff was very friendly and supportive in trying to help us find a good fit for glasses and they even sourced a lot of options for us that they didn’t have in office. Can’t recommend Dr. Pannapara enough for a personalized experience!
Dr. Shirley is a very professional and knowledgeable optometrist. Her office staff is very good as well. I love being able to come in for my eye check up and pick up some funky eye glasses all in one stop. Highly recommended!
Love this place they always take car of us and are very patient and kind with my 3 year old. Wish I could give them more stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very very friendly and professional. I was in and out with new glasses picked in about an hour. Also I had to give a star for being a U of H alumni :-) Go Cougs!
