I encountered helpful staff at the front desk as I checked in. I was given an efficient pre-exam the technician gathered updated information from me. It appeared the technician thoroughly completed recorded all pertinent information on my records; she asked good questions. I met my new Doctor and enjoyed meeting her. She did all the testing and then, after recording everything on the computer, she discussed updated me on the conditions I have, what my options are and shared recommendations. She asked me about the eye drops I use. She recommended an update on the Systane drops be sure to use the Refresh Gel Drops for nighttime. I use those products already appreciated her affirmation of my using them. Pleasant. effecient personable Doctor.

Our OD had retired and Dr. Maxwell was the new doctor and our first visit. Dr. Maxwell was a joy! She was very kind and very thorough. She alleviated any concerns about being seen by a new doctor very quickly. She put my wife and I both at ease, went through our history in advance and was very professional. A highlight of our week for sure.
