Had gone to medical doctor he was concerned about eye infection and told me to see an eye doctor immediately I called here and they saw me right away my eye improved overnight and they were wonderful. Dr Schmitt took care of all my concerns about my vision and I could not be happier.

I had problems getting a call back, drove to the office this morning. Dr Levenson saw me, gave me two options to fix the issue, and assured me he was going to fix the communication/call back problem. I'm satisfied.

How many people can say that they leave the eye doctor in a better mood than when they come in? I sure can. The front desk workers are so personable and always make me smile. (especially Missy and Linda!) Dr. Schmidt is the nicest, most thorough and helpful doctor that I have ever seen. I would recommend for anyone to come here. 5 stars every time!
