What a great place! I went for my annual eye exam with the intention of being fitted for contacts, a... s Ive never had them before. During my exam, I expressed my concerns, like not being able to touch my eye, hesitant to eye drops etc. They essentially said that I would be fine and that if we couldnt make it work, it wasnt a big deal. So we did the normal eye exam, whats better 1 or 2?... 1 or 2? 2 or 3?... 2 or 3? Pretty routine. The Dr, I believe her name was Rebecca was absolutely fantastic. She was fun and we laughed together as she completed the eye exam with my highly light sensitive eyes. After that I had to go through "insertion and removal training". I thought I was already an expert in that, but apparently they were speaking specifically to contacts. Who knew? I sat with Cristine and she went over the training with me. She was super patient and encouraging. She helped correct what I was doing and gave me pointers. At the end of it, I had successfully inserted and removed my CONTACTS 2x each. I was there at the office for a total of about 3.5hrs when it was all said and done but i accomplished what i needed to. Fast forward 4 days to my contact fitting follow up exam. So normally this is done within 7 days-ish but mine were bothering me and something needed to give. So when I arrived to my appointment I checked in and was called back about 10min afterwards by Ashley. And let me tell you, Miss Ashley is an absolute gem. She was so kind, fun and knowledgeable. It was clear that she knew what she was doing from the start. I explained all my issues and she said okay let's address each of them one by one. And she did, and provided reasons for each and solutions/potential solutions. She gave me options and explained each and every one in detail in a way I could understand it. She went over it multiple times making sure I knew what she was explaining. She brought me new contact lens options and helped me fine tune my CONTACT insertion technique. She was a huge help. After leaving there today I feel much better having talked with Ashley and her expertise. Would I go back? Would I recommend this place to others? Absolutely yes! If you have a contact lens fitting, you MUST request Ashley. I cant see how anyone could be better at their job than her. Well done!
