Everyone from front desk to Dr. Swanson, my optometrist, was a delight to speak with and they made me feel very comfortable as a new patient who was looking to try on contacts for the first time.

Very friendly staff. Helped me get a appointment quickly. It was my first visit but Dr. Swanson spoke to me like she was an old friend. Answered all of my questions and didn't try to push me to do anything or purchase anything I didn't want to. Absolutely wonderful experience.
