Appointment making was efficient and I was updated on the appointment via text in the week prior to ... the appointment. Check in was professional with a few forms to fill out for 2025. Called back for my appointment on time and the initial eye tests were done by an assistant to get my file updated and ready for the doctor. Assistant explained everything clearly as we proceeded and then left me in a room to wait for the doctor. Within minutes Dr. Maryam Ali came in and did my exam. She is very professional and personable. She answered my questions and I never felt rushed. In the end she was honest and told me that my eyes have not changed enough since my last check up to require a new prescription or new frames...unless I wanted them. I enjoyed my years with Dr. Burrows, but I am looking forward to my future appointments with Dr. Ali.

When I called to see if they accepted my insurance the lady that answered was so nice and helpful! T... hey were very friendly when we there. Explained any and all charges that we would pay out of pocket and the doctor was great! I was there for my son and have since scheduled myself and my husband.
