Both Dr. Elgin and his Assistant addressed all my questions as they always do. I moved to [...] and was thinking about leaving because of the distance especially when my eyes are dilated but I like Dr. Elgin and his Assistant too much to leave.

Very positive experience. I felt very confident with the doctor and would trust any future eye problems/treatments to him and this facility. This was my second time to this office and I am very pleased with the care shown to it's patients and the efficiency of the running of the office. I spoke with some of your long time patients and they only had great things to say about the doctors and assistants.
