I love this practice! Everyone is so friendly and I always receive the best service. Ms. Alicia is a... Show Moremazing at the front desk. She starts the service off wonderfully by greeting you as soon as you walk in. The young lady that assisted me before the doctor did amazing as well. She was well informed and so polite. Dr. Bellflower was also very respectful, funny, and knows his craft very well. It ended off with me picking out the perfect frames with Ms. Rita. She worked so hard to help me find the right ones and she was so down to earth. I’m so glad that the previous practice I went to closed down because I’m so happy to be a patient at this location now. Thank you to the entire team!!!

This had to have been the most thorough and best experience I’ve ever had. The Doctor was amazing an... Show Mored explained everything in detail. Talked me through everything he was doing. The young lady who helped myself and my husband both find glasses was super sweet and upbeat! The front desk staff although only seeing me once, greeted me by my last name as soon as I walk in. They have a great team with wonderful personalities! So glad we found them!
