Mark J., Gonmap review

"I would not recommend this office... they seem more interested in sales than service... My glasses came apart within 2 and a half months..."

Anonymous, Medicals-Health review

"The optometrist... seemed bored, irritated, very cold and almost resentful that he had to endure the behavior of a three-year-old."
