I just want to thank everyone for being so kind and helpful. It’s the first time I have glasses I actually like thanks to the girls at the desk assisting me in my search for frames. You were all wonderful and I

Dr Gorham was a great doctor! I’m always scared to death of people being around my eyes, but I was very comfortable with him. He didn’t make me feel like just another patient. Thanks!
