I've been seeing optometrists for 26 years, and Dr. Dobson is the best I've ever had. He is very thorough and takes the time necessary to give you the best vision possible. The office is chic, staff very professional, positive and easy to work with, and they even offer Saturday appointments. They are continually updating and modernizing their equipment, giving you the best service possible.
