    This was my fist appt in about 15 years, primarily due to fear of folks being around my eyes, and though a routine/basic exam, Dr. Laliberte made this experience seamless and enjoyable. A very kind and easy going provider and would trust her with any future optometry needs. Thank you!

She had a very friendly smile, a warm handshake and a very welcoming and friendly demeanor. She listened to my concerns, addressed them and answered my questions thoroughly and in a way I knew she really cared. I will definitely return to her for my annual eye exam, and I know I can contact her with additional questions or concerns if I have them.

    The young girl who checked me in and out, was busy doing on line shopping, for dresses. I apologized for interrupting her time. Very unprofessional. I'm getting fed up with not being able to tell the staff from the patients. Your automated phone calls for reminding don't work and haven't for some time. Neither lady at the desk was able to give me information on any questions. The doctor told me one thing and they said something different.

    The big miss for me was not being informed about having my eyes dilated. Drops were administered and I got a little concerned that I was losing my sight, a simple explanation of what was about to happen would have sufficed. Lastly adding this detail when making an appointment could help avoid losing time after the appointment due to not having great sight. Other than that care was great. Thank you
