Student Review
"This site is excellent if you are interested in gaining more experience in specialty contact lenses within an amazing private practice setting. The doctors are incredibly knowledgeable and love to teach. They are very approachable if you have any questions and there is a good balance of opportunities between direct independent patient care for most patients and guidance on more complex cases. Each night after clinic we will conference about interesting cases/ patients from that day and the doctors will talk about how to run a private practice, billing/coding, or any topic you wish to talk about."
