This was my first eye exam in years. Dr. Dempsey was very thorough and didn't rush through the exam. His staff was pleasant and professional. My glasses were ready in one week! When I was having problems adjusting to the glasses, they listened to my concerns, found the problem and took steps to correct the issue. I highly recommend Dr. Dempsey and his staff.

Very kind and attentive staff! Was able to get my exam done quickly and on time I had to bring my cranky 3 year old with me to my eye exam, the staff was so patient and kind to us 🙂
