Very Nice personnel - had a pair of prescription Ray Ban sunglasses (right lens popped out of the frame). Took a bit of work, but they fixed everything up just right! Highly recommend if you need ‘emergency’ repairs!

I shared this with the office and sharing the same message via Google Reviews: Never have I ever had such a horrible experience in a doctor's office. 1.

Well, won’t be returning here anytime soon my daughter has been going here since she was a baby and seeing Dr. Balkan. every time that I have gone to this office, their staff is completely unprofessional and rude. It’s literally impossible to get them on the phone to make an appointment and when you do get them on the phone, they’re extremely rude to you.
