    I felt that I had a thorough exam. The technician was very efficient and didn't waste any time. Dr. Tomlinson went over everything and did a thorough exam and addressed my issue with dry eyes. We had help with choosing new frames. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, it was a great experience. I highly recommend the Eye Clinic to my friends and family.

    I thought Jennie Tomlinson was outstanding. I've already recommended her to a number of my friends and family. The only thing I would suggest is your pre-appointment intake information that you send online having to answer all of those repetitive questions, especially if you have numerous appointments within days of each other. I would suggest eliminating that.

    I didn't find a couple of people who worked with me to be as profesional as I'm used to. Kind, yes. Fast and quick does not equate with profesional to me. I expect good language skills from profesional as well. Overall, I did like the procedures and how much smarter eye vision evaluation was done. Perhaps my attitude needs adjusting. I'm aging, but I'm smart, well educated and not slow...seemed that's what they were expecting from me.
