Took my son here a couple years back with private insurance and they were heavenly. Call today to see about services for him again and the receptionist was revolted by our Medicaid status. I understand that it's a private practice and I honestly wasn't expecting them to accept our policy. But the sheer disgust and annoyance in her voice made it undeniably apparent that you are a leper if you have public aid. We've paid our dues, always carried top notch insurance via our employers but have had different circumstances in the last 2 years that resulted in Medicaid being our best option. I'm very disappointed in the lack of humanity and will never give this office my business again.

Put off going to eye doctor for years. Had several recommend her. Decided to go and the staff and Dr. Tara were amazing. Explained everything in detail would recommend her to others.
