Dr. Brar was absolutely amazing with my daughter. She just was so sweet with her and just thorough in her whole exam. She also just really took the time and showed that she cared about my daughter. And we hope that she is always at this location because we love her so much. Thank you.

As always nothing but the best experience when dealing with children we were seen in a timely fashion and every issue that we had to ask about for my grand daughters vision was addressed

I thought the provider was amazing. She was very patient with my son. She explained everything. She took her time and I would definitely recommend her to anybody. I'm even thinking of switching her to be my son's permanent provider.

Dr. Brar is one of the sweetest people we've ever met. She is very kind, very patient, she explains things incredibly well and makes sure our son is comfortable and understanding of what is happening as it is. She's excellent. Everybody we saw that day was wonderful.

Very nice facility. All of the people we interacted with (front desk, techs, Dr. Brar) were accommodating, professional, and friendly. We are very happy with the care our son received. Thank you!

When needing to dilate a child's eyes, ensure there is something for the child to watch in the room (like a movie) or just send them back to the waiting room. Also, be prompt with coming to check on the dilation and finishing up the visit. We were told dilation would take 25 minutes, but we didn't get to see the doctor for over 45 minutes and wound up watching a 2 minute looping video to keep my child occupied. I know the nurse provided the only entertainment available and was very nice and responsive. Just remember that kids get restless easily so it's important to anticipate their needs and help guide the parent and the child through the visit (including unexpectedly long wait times).

20-25 minutes late wasn't acceptable - someone coming out to let us know things were behind would have been nice! Instead I had to go up to desk to ask and she called back.

I really appreciate the tech with the long blonde hair. My daughter was starving and she waited patiently for me to get snacks out of my vehicle after my daughter was waiting for the eye drops to take effect.

All staff was very friendly and we did not have to wait long to be seen. They took their time with my child since he is autistic and tried different ways if he was uncomfortable.

Front desk staff wasn't unpleasant, but appeared uninterested and impersonal. Had to wait to be acknowledged. We are used to the cheerful, friendly front desk staff at the other clinics who make us feel we are important and welcome.

Very good medical staff such as receptionists, all very attentive

I didn't like being on hold for more than 30 minutes after the appointment time. If you can't see that many patients, don't take that many appointments.
