    The whole experience was positive. The building was accessible and clean, the reception staff were helpful and respectful, the assistant who worked with me was thorough, helpful and respectful. The Dr was excellent. Very grateful for such wonderful quality care for my eyes close to home. Stopped to get my glasses adjusted at the eye glass center which is there too and that was also a wonderful experience.

    The new auto notification system is a bit over enthusiastic: Four or five reminders to check-in online even after that has been completed, andmultiple reminders about the appointment in the days leading up to the appointment. Plus different departments us the notification differently, some adding on time for check-in and others just the actual time of appointment. A little consistency would be welcome.
