Cheryl, Lila, Diane, and Dr. Bellamy were very quick to get me in and checked out. I appreciated their sweet demeanor and customer service, especially for an early morning appointment. The doctor explained everything to me very patiently, which is great since I have a million questions and a lot of anxiety. While I’ve never had glasses before, I’m feeling confident that the ones they helped me find will be great. 😊 Just waiting for them to come in.
