Patient Reviews!

Dr. Palmer is amazing. Managed to see me the same day on emergency visit and took care of my issue. Everyone in the office is very friendly and professional!

Everyone at the office is always so helpful and friendly. Dr. Vanderpool Strickland and the technician I saw answered all of my questions and took the time to explain the test results in depth. I have consistently had excellent service here and am made to feel comfortable throughout the visit. I can't recommend them enough!

- Jessica R.

Very friendly, efficient & thorough. So glad my friends recommended that I try them. Best eye exam, most complete ever.

- Bonnie H.

I'm very pleased with the service I received very pleasant people here. M so happy about my glasses!

- Charlott P.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Strickland for about 3 years now and I must say she is hands down the best. She and her staff are very patient and do a good job of explaining everything. They have affordable glasses as well which is a plus for us students. I’m so sad I’m moving away and won’t get to have her as my eye doctor any more. Thanks for ensuring I could see Dr. Strickland and your commitment to ensuring my vision was as good as it could be.

- Bense F.

Excellent medical knowledge, friendly staff & doctor, all the equipment necessary for top-notch care. Overall excellent optometrist!

- Kathleen C.

OMG!!!!! I loooooove this place! Dr. Strickland is Awesome!!!! These opticians are very personable and they truly care about their patients. I wish that I could find a family doctor as caring as them. I will never visit another optician again. I recommend this place to anyone.
