I saw Dr. Emma Scott, she was lovely. When she walked into the exam room, we discussed my eye scans ... and prescription. She then asked if she could verify my prescription manually. I agreed and found out my previous contacts were too strong, that by lowering them I was now able to see 20/15. I am very grateful she went over and beyond. She takes pride in her work and is very good at what she does. I would definitely recommend seeing her and her awesome staff. From start to finish the ladies were great. Very enjoyable experience.
