TEI was absolutely professional. They were thorough in their testing and evaluations while making you feel important. No running you through as just another #. Dr Malineni was professional and personable as the whole team and surgery personnel were. They made me feel comfortable and in good hands. I would recommend highly.

The service was quick and efficient. They were able to connect with the pharmacy to review my drug list. They checked my current glasses prescription. And they were on time. I was in and out in 45 minutes. Very nice practice. Made my appointment for next year!

Outstanding in every way! From the minute you enter at the front desk, staff is very efficient. They get you directly into a waiting room and then you move into the examination phase ,tests, meet with the doctor and back out. Very efficient and very well run.

I’ve used Dr Decker for years and adore him! I’ve now had need to use Dr Melanini (sp), who I think is wonderful. Love this team and their offices that are conveniently located around town.
