NEXT TO LIFE ITSELF, YOUR MOST PRECIOUS GIFT IS SIGHT. 

Your eyes deserve the finest care you can give them. Our office is dedicated to assist in this goal. Having your eyes examined should be a pleasant, painless, and satisfying experience. In our office we try our best to make it that way. We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your eyes.

ABOUT OUR CLINIC..... Our entire staff operates as a team. All have been trained as professionals and we take pride in and enjoy our profession.

SERVICES WE PROVIDE: Our office provides a full scope of vision and eye care including; family, infant, pediatric, eye medical, spectacles, refractive surgery consultation, and contact lenses. A comprehensive initial examination takes about an hour and a half with dilation and other eye health evaluations. We prescribe all types of contact lenses, including lenses for the correction of astigmatism, extended wear and bifocal contact lenses. Our facilities have enabled us to provide you a large inventory of fashionable frames also special and sport frame needs for racket sports, scuba diving, shooting, skiing, golf, motorcycle riding etc.

We strive to have the latest in technology for your best care. We also do our best to inform you of your visual status and conditions. We do this in a multi media manner with verbal explanations (in plain English), fact sheets, slide shows, videos, along with a written report about your eyes.

APPOINTMENTS: We see all patients on an appointment basis and request that you call in advance so that we may reserve a time for us to care for you. Appointed office hours are available through Saturday. We also have one evening for later appointments.

TELEPHONE CALLS: Patients are encouraged to call with questions or concerns. The office staff has been trained to answer many of your questions and, if necessary, they will relay your information to the doctors who will, in turn, return your call at the earliest convenience.

FEES AND PAYMENTS: It is the policy of our office to pay for services when rendered. For your convenience, we honor Visa and MasterCard. Please feel free to discuss our services and fees with any member of our staff. The best vision care incorporates good patient and doctor communication.

INSURANCE: We are members of many vision insurance panels, please call to see if we are providers of your program. These vision insurance companies have agreed to pay us directly for basic general care. Any additional expenses not covered by your insurance will be your responsibility. If you have any other insurance plans, we will be happy to provide a super bill. However, the agreement of the insurance company to pay for eye or health care is a contract between you and the company. Because of the many variations and changes that we do not know about, we ask that you pay us and have the insurance company reimburse you. We know questions can arise on insurance matters and these should be discussed with our insurance manager.
