Patient care, examination, professional services, and customer service were all exceptional.Dr. Paul Harris professionally answered every of my questions (among a great many) including information related to my personal interest in Lasik. The examination was the most thorough and complete eye care experience that I have ever had. All state of the art equipment with Dr. Harris explaining the vision and Healthcare value for each of them.I actually became a new customer because of one great experience that I had from an appointment with Dr. Alisha Harris. She was substituting for another location and the quality of her examination provided, her thorough explainations, and her overall professionalism won me over. My appointment with her husband today proved just as great.They have officially won over my business. read less - 3/03/2022

The whole office embodies the best attributes of a family-run business: everyone that I interacted with was professional, incredibly welcoming, and took the time to get to know me on a personal level. My appointment was with Dr. Alisha, and she not only gave high-quality and personable care but also took the time to educate me of the "why's" of everything that was going on during the exam. I learned a lot about best-practices in taking care of my eyes, especially in light of being a contact-wearer. The practice uses state-of-the-art technology (hello, no more pupil dilation!), and they also have a wide range of personality-filled glasses to choose from. They've definitely earned my repeat business! read less - 5/15/2022

Everyone was genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and truly interested in me, which made me feel valued, which is rare. Dr. Paul Harris was unhurried, very thorough and explained what he was doing and why in simple terms. The best eye exam I have ever experienced. Additionally , the office is tastefully decorated, very clean and inviting. Dr. Alisha Goshinska Harris greeted me and made me feel welcome and at ease right away. The on sight optical has an array of quality eyewear to choose from. Jonathan , an experienced certified optician, will happily and expertly assist you and make you laugh in the process.Thanks for a great experience.Annie Williams read less - 3/25/2022

Dr. Sanchez and Dr Alisha Harris both took their time to be sure to explain my retinal images and Dr Sanchez made sure to correct my prescription carefully. Nothing felt like a rush and felt much more friendly than any other doctor I've had. Even the process of choosing my eye glasses with Johnathan was honest and a perfect method of helping someone with extreme indecision actually find something they could enjoy. I can honestly say I swear by their expertise and care. read less - 7/20/2022

Previously we were disappointed, but not this time. This office is great. Dr. Harris was extremely thorough and explained everything. It was super working with Jonathan to get our new glasses. Jonathan is the first person who has ever taken my husband's height into consideration when working his trifocal prescription. The experience was wonderful, we've found our new eye doctor, finally! read less - 6/29/2022

She ran me through several tests to assess the state of my eyes and was very thorough. The only fault with the whole process was that I didn't find out that they were not "in network" until getting into the office. The online sign up process listed my vision insurance provider on their website and collected my member ID and group ID, but I guess they don't use that for anything? Kinda weird. read less - 4/01/2022

The doctor, Alisha Harris, was very personable, caring, and informative. At the front, Adriana made sure I understood all my options, while keeping it light and friendly, and Johnathan showed me some beautiful frames, (it was hard to pick one.) His advice was spot on. I will definitely be back next time I'm due for an exam or just need to freshen my look. read less - 12/26/2021
