Student Review
"All of the doctors at this site are amazing. They're all very approachable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their field of work. You can tell that they love what they do for a living. You will learn a lot about specialty contact lens and management of ocular diseases here. All of the doctors like to quiz you during downtime or when an interesting case walks in, but it's not intimidating at all. They guide you along the correct path without giving you the answer."
