“I think that my appointment was the most complete and comprehensive eye exam I have ever had. Dr. Calhoun took the time to explain everything he did so that I could understand. All the office staff were friendly and professional. I left the office feeling like I was in excellent hands and that they cared about the quality of my eyesight!” – Anonymous
