This was the best eye exam my wife and I ever experienced. Doctor Dempsey was very professional, extremely friendly and helpful. He and all his staff made us feel welcome, and they all did an outstanding job.

My 7 year old was having eye pain and they saw us for an emergency visit. First time we have been there, my son is autistic so new places are hard for him. Dr Dempsey was so great with him and very thorough.

Dr. Dempsey and staff were all amazing! I was welcomed with a smile and it just got better from there. I chose a new provider because I felt uninformed at my previous office. Dr. Dempsey did the most thorough eye exam I have ever had and explained things to me in a way I could understand easily. I am more than happy and would recommend it his office to anyone.
