Everyone I delt with was friendly and efficient, very professional. They accepted my VSP insurance which saved a good portion of my new glasses.

I was experiencing some abnormal vision problems. I called the office that morning and they got me in that afternoon. Dr. Brett Dawson is my doctor and he did a thorough examination. He explained what was going on, how we would proceed and asked if I had any questions. Dr. Dawson is very professional and I trust his knowledge. I was impressed how soon they were able to get me seen. Dr. Dawson told me they take the issues I had very seriously. The staff is wonderful. Starting with checking in to the nurses and ending with checking out. Thank you Discover vision...
