 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a long time patient of this practice I have always found the doctors and staff quick to help and respond to inquiries and patient needs. Add to that the fact that the phones are answered by a person, not a bot.... It's a great practice and highly recommended.

Great service all the way around, from the receptionist, to Avis R (technician), Dr. Steven Abraham, and to the eye glass/prescription technician, made me feel comfortable and important.
