Outstanding team. The initial appointment and assessment was seamless, very friendly people, and their systems are dialed in, so everything went smoothly and efficiently. Dr. Vendal was knowledgeable, patient and friendly. The second follow-up appointment was the same experience with Cora getting me dialed in for my procedure. They are a well-organized medical office in a very nice office setting, which is always a bonus.

Find another place…period! I have glaucoma so my appointments are kind of important. This last appointment I finally had enough. Was scheduled for 8:30am. Got called back to do the normal routine checkups. Afterwards I went to sit and wait for the doctor. After waiting 40 minutes I poke my head out to see what’s going on. Someone asks if they can help me. I asked what was going on. She tells me the doctor had an emergency surgery and she’s on her way. This is not the first time this has happened. I left and didn’t reschedule as I will find another ...
