We love this facility and I love my doctor. He listens attentively and explains everything in explicit details. The customer service is also great. Everyone is so pleasant, attentive and helpful! I wouldn't consider going anywhere else!

 

Angie Hendricks

I have been coming to see Dr. Poirier here for 16 years. He is excellent, and has always taken the time to not just check my vision, but to maintain my eye health. My eyes have changed with age and diabetes, but all of the wonderful staff here have kept my vision as great as ever!

Sarah Dunn

Young man that did my exam was super sweet and did a great job. Everyone at practice is always nice. Dr P is always nice and informative. I am very satisfied with the care I receive.

Tracey Maxwell

This was my 1st visit to this office. Everyone was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They talked me through a few issues I'd been having that most would just brush off and was super helpful in getting me what I need. I highly recommend Dr. P and his staff to get you what you need.

Brianna Camp

I took my 5 year old for an eye exam and everyone was super friendly, patient and professional. Would highly recommend!
