I am so glad that I found this place. Dr. Westrum and the entire staff at Westrum Optometry are awesome! The location is super convenient, and their office is very modern with a cozy touch. I had an appointment at 11:10 AM and was out of there by 11:45 AM. They respect your time while also being very thorough with their exams. Quintessential professionals.

Dr. Westrum's careful evaluations with modern equipment make me feel like I'm always getting top notch healthcare and I love picking out a new pair of glasses. Fantastic!!

This is my 3rd optometrist in three years. The previous two left the place I was going, and it no longer offers general and diabetic eye exams. My experience with Westrum Optometry was unbelievably thorough and professional. Dr. Westrum took the time to show me the images of my eyes and explain what he was seeing (and also asked about what happened to them in the past). When the exams were completed, he showed me what my vision would be with the new prescription, and it was remarkably clear, much clearer than what my one-year old glasses provide. The staff is very helpful. The office is very clean and fully equipped. Dr. Westrum himself was friendly, competent and professional. I believe I have found my final eye physician.

All the staff there are so friendly and kind! They were all very helpful. The office is also super nice and in a great location. I saw Dr. Sami Thompson and she was super nice, efficient yet thorough, and very present to answer questions and explain things to me. It was also quick to get in, and they offer care in both Spanish and English which I love. This was my first time there and i’ll definitely be back!
