Reviews

"I highly recommend this office. I was impressed by both Dr. Michael Santos and Lindsay, Optical Associate. Both were very thorough, highly professional and very competent. Lindsay worked very diligently with me to find the perfect glasses for me and I am very pleased with her service. I am a Dentist and need good vision for my profession and am confident that I had an excellent exam and glasses which are not only comfortable, but also highly functional. All staff were very professional from check in to check out and the technician who did original work-up on me."

"Dr. Michael Santos is beyond amazing. After 2 months of numerous specialists and doctors not listening, Dr. Santos took the time to listen to ME and my concerns, and “diagnosed” my issue within minutes. He made me feel safe, heard, and seen. He suggested next steps with specific providers in other fields of practice to ensure I received top quality care. I can not recommend him enough. He is an extremely valuable asset to the team."
