Expert & Compassionate Comprehensive Eye Exams

“I found my new optometrist! Went in for an eye exam and Dr. Pati was very thorough and patient. He was also very knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions I had. I learned a lot about how my eyes worked and how to keep them healthy, and I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!”
