I can't say enough good things about this clinic. What first won me over is their imaging technology. They use an advanced digital machine that checks the retina and internal structures of your eye without dilating drops. It captures wide-angle, high-resolution views in just seconds, so you skip the sting of the drops and the hours of blurry vision afterward. Honestly, that's a big deal for me. I'd gone over a decade without a proper eye exam because I refuse to be dilated, and this clinic finally gave me a way around it. Yes, the imaging is an added cost and it's required if you go here, but for me it's worth every penny. The service matches the technology. Everyone is friendly, and they make everything easy. If something needs adjusting, one phone call is all it takes. They'll go chat with a doctor and sort out whatever I need. And if you get contacts you don't love, you can bring back the unused portion for credit toward a different brand or type that suits you better. In all my time going here, I've never had a single bad experience. It's been top notch from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Belle pleasantly answered the phone and answered my questions. She provided me with pertinent information concerning my insurance. When I arrived the young lady sitting on the left hand side of the office immediately greeted me. The wait was short for both Dr. Browning’s patience with my eye exam and informative explanation of my results put me at ease.Additionally, as waited to be seen, I noticed when other patients were called, the doctors greeted each patient with a smile and handshake. The customer services was top-notch!
This is a walk in clinic. Expect an average wait of 1 1/2 hours. My scheduled appointment was at 1:45 pm. I was checked in within 5 minutes and initial tests done within 10 minutes. After seeing people come in and leave before me, i turned into a K person and went to the front desk. Suddenly I was next. The people there are nice, the price with my insurance was reasonable. The process is something to be prepared for. I will not be going back.
Dr. Availa and her whole team deserve 5 stars. From the moment I walked in, everyone was super helpful, kind, and actually explained things in a way that made sense. The lady checking me in was so sweet, getting my contacts was easy, and the eye assistant walked me through every single step without making me feel rushed or confused. Best part? Dr. Availa informed me my eyes are doing great and that at my age I still don’t need bifocals yet — thank GAWD. I left feeling youthful and emotionally stable. 😂 The checkout process was smooth, nobody tried to push me into buying random stuff, and they explained my insurance clearly without making me feel like I needed a law degree to understand it. Plus, everyone was genuinely nice and not assholes, which honestly deserves an extra star by itself. Highly recommend!
Great visit gr was extra nice and realized that I am not just a person but someone who had worked as a reg. Nurse. She really talked to me at that point. So wonderful at the age of 76 to be keened as a professional!!! Lovely competent person will be back! Kanne Earl-Briody no longer Bowers he died.
